Emerald City shines on Dallas music scene By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com Have you ever heard of the group The Four Grand? Probably not. Have you ever heard of the group the Emerald City Band? If you have spent any time in Dallas, you almost assuredly have since they are the area’s premier jazz, soul, funk and pop band. Emerald City was started by Deno Taglioli 35 years ago. A first generation Italian born in Detroit, Taglioli started college at Wayne State University. “I studied music there – classical, actually – under this guy that was part of the Detroit Symphony,” Taglioli said. He became a percussionist in the Detroit Youth Symphony. “I was being mentored into classical music by my mom,” Taglioli said. “She wanted me to be able to read, she wanted me to write, she wanted me to play the right way and be able to get a job in a symphony. She thought that was a sense of security. She wasn’t the type that wanted me to play drums in a rock band. That wouldn’t sit well with her.”
SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM
On Monday, Feb. 18 at 6 p.m., the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza celebrates its 30th anniversary with a special Presidents Day concert.

EMERALD CITY
The Emerald City Band. After two years at Wayne State “a couple of my buddies were getting scholarships at University of Texas, Arlington (UTA),” Taglioli said. “The band leader there was a friend of (Big Band leader) Stan Kenton. It sounded like a great opportunity to play jazz.” Taglioli came to Dallas in 1977. He got a scholarship, graduated from
UTA and then headed to North Texas State (now University of North Texas) to work on his master’s degree in music. He started Emerald City in 1983. The band currently consists of 12 members featuring three horns and five singers including front man Taglioli, who is an accomplished songwriter as well.
“I loved playing pop music,” Taglioli said. “I loved the Motown stuff and I loved playing the three-minute pop song. I used to take my mom’s keys and sneak into the car and listen to AM radio, and wear the battery out. I loved Earth, Wind and Fire, Chicago, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, EMERALD cont'd on page 9
