Their live program features various musical styles, including American jazz music of the Big Band Era, contemporary jazz, and international music from South America, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Tony and Joey have an ability to generate enthusiasm for music education. During the last ten years, they have worked in more than 120 schools and communities in seven states. They continue to be highly sought-after for residencies and concerts, often booking two and three years in advance in order to satisfy schools and communities eager to experience their energy and talents. Their student approach is geared to general music and special music classes alike, specializing in band, jazz band and world music.
Workshops range from primitive rhythmic percussion to computer-enhanced composition.
For advanced students, workshops conducted by the Gulizia Brothers deal with theory, jazz improvisation techniques and musical composition. Their talents and musical versatility has placed them in the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, the Omaha-based recording group Mannheim Steamroller, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line entertainment, Vail, Colorado, ski resorts and many other locations and environments. Both Tony and Joey have extensive experience as music clinicians, including the Iowa Summer Jazz Camp, the Reggie Schive Summer Jazz Camp and the Nebraska Scholars' Institute. In 1995, they performed concerts and workshops in Japan. The Gulizia Brothers' efforts have been making a difference, as was reflected in their being awarded the Governor's Arts Award for Excellence in Arts Education in Nebraska.
