Vocalist, producer, actor / director, and Banana Puddin’ Jazz impresario Rome Neal originally came into the jazz community via his role in the one-man Laurence Holder play Monk. Researching the role, Neal became a regular at jam sessions. He soon went on to found the Banana Puddin’ Jazz series in 2003, at the legendary Nuyorican Poets’s Cafe. Twenty years later, Neal is a fixture in NYC jazz, as revered for his showmanship as for his famous banana pudding.
