Versace, along with bandmates vocalist Kate McGarry and guitarist Keith Ganz, was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2019 for his work on ‘The Subject Tonight is Love,’ the band’s latest trio recording, and has performed on several other Grammy-winning and nominated recordings by composers John Hollenbeck and Maria Schneider. Currently Versace is the pianist in Schneider’s orchestra, and has appeared on dozens of recordings as a sideman on various labels over the years with nationally and internationally known jazz artists. Versace won the Jazz Journalists' Association's "Best Instrumentalist – Instruments Rare In Jazz (accordion)" award in 2018, the “Organist of the Year’ award in 2012, and is mentioned yearly in both the readers and critics polls in Downbeat and JazzTimes magazines.
