I would like to thank WAR, that great band from the 70s for this tune that I covered. 

All Day Music

This is a tune, written by Bill Heller of the Rippingtons.  I asked Bill to write me a tune that would remind the listener of a sunset.  This is significant because my late wife Linda loved the sunsets at the Jersey shore house.  I think she would have liked this...  Enjoy.

Linda's Sunset

Co-written by Vincent Ioia, Gerey Johnson and Ricky Peterson, this tune hit the charts in April 2014, was recognized as a top 30 hit for 2014 and has been running ever since.  I need to do more of this.  Hope you enjoy it!.  

First Time (feat. Ricky Peterson & Gerey Johnson)

Steppin In From The Outside

Written by Bill Heller, keyboard player and composer from The Rippingtons, No Time Like Now, the title track from my album is a collaboration combining the talent from such greats as Bill Heller (on Piano), Ricky Peterson (on keyboards and as musical arranger), Gerey Johnson (on guitar), Paul Peterson (on bass) and Petar Janjic (on drums).  

No Time Like Now (feat. Bill Heller)

This track, written by Bill Heller and arranged by Ricky Peterson who also filled in all of the wonderful background sounds you hear, is a beautiful mellow tune dedicated to the memory of my departed wife Linda, who loved the sunsets on the Jersey shore.  I hope you enjoy it.    

This tune, written by Bill Heller of the Rippingtons and produced and arranged by Ricky Peterson (David Sanborn's keyboard player and musical director) is a wonderful sweet tune dedicated to my sweetheart Marie who's been my partner in good and bad times for the past three years.  I love you sweetheart...  It's all good since you've been around.  

Caribbean Nights

Half Life

There's A Better Way

This is my take on a great old tune by Michael Mainieri titled Self Portrait on which the late, great Michael Brecker played his brilliant Tenor saxophone.  My take is more of the "smooth" type of tune.  I hope that you like it...

A Self Portrait

"Vincent Ioia's debut CD is a refreshing take on the smooth jazz genre. Ioia takes the time to craft wonderfully accessible tracks without them sounding overly commercial. Any one of the tracks from this CD is a potential hit in any station's playlist."
