Get on the Bus

Bill Horace Trio, the Band on the Bus
Centro driver Raul Erives of Baldwinsville has been driving for 7 years, and he says he’s had musicians on his bus before (the 443 on the Connective Corridor), but never like this.
Bill Horrace, Bass
This afternoon at about 3:45 p.m., Centro, Connective Corridor and the Bill Horrace Trio combined to turn a 40-plus minute ride into a live jazz party. Many of the riders, students from Syracuse University, seemed pleasantly surprised to get on the bus as the music was playing.
John Solazzo
Tom Bronzetti
According to Horrace, who plays a regular gig with his band at Pheobe’s on East Genesee Street, there was no particular playlist for the ride. Instead he and his mates, John Solazzo and Tom Bronzetti improvised and played everything from Miles Davis to Kurt Weill as the bus rolled from Midtown through Downtown and the Near Westside. This particular Centro route is free.
