Jimmy Sapienza's Five Guys Named Moe
is a Registered Trademark...
We precede the London-based show with
the same use of "Five Guys Named Moe"
name by nearly four years.
In 1987 a friend of Jimmy's gave him a cassette full of Louis Jordan songs and said... "You're gonna love this stuff." Love it ? As Jimmy listened he thought to himself... "I'm gonna add this material to my repertoire." He listened as the songs played on... One after another... "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens", "Is You Is (Or Is You Ain't My Baby)", "Sure Had A Wonderful Time", "Choo Choo Ch-Boogie", And when the "Caldonia Boogie" was over he said out loud... "I'm gonna put a whole new band together!" Then he asked himself the question... "What will I call this band?" Then came the fifteen-note intro to the Jordan song that changed his life... "Five Guys Named Moe". The words described to a T a band of ace musicians who knocked-out crowds with the "best in harmony" winning the favor of every type of audience and receiving rave critical revues. This was exactly the kind of band he wanted to form. Jimmy handpicked the best jazzmen from the local Pittsburgh scene. Since its inception, Jimmy Sapienza's Five Guys Named Moe have consistently delivered crowd-pleasing performances to a multitude of appreciative fans, including President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

Sapienza's powerful voice has a silken edge. He loves to croon a dreamy love ballad as well as to Rock and shout the Blues.
