    Don't miss a special weekend with Hammond B-3 Jazz Organ wizard Tony Monaco at the Nashville Jazz Workshop! This is Tony’s third visit to Nashville. He was here last summer for the National Association of Music Merchandisers (NAMM) show, returned for an August appearance at the Nashville Jazz Workshop, and gave a blazing performance that had everyone talking. He's back again this year for the NAMM show as a Hammond Organ artist. While here, he'll make a return visit to the Jazz Workshop for the Friday and Saturday evening performances. He’ll be joined once again by the rhythm section of guitarist Andy Reiss and drummer Chester Thompson.

    Tony Monaco has become one of the foremost Hammond B-3 players in the country. He has been playing music since he was eight years old. At age twelve, Tony was given a Jimmy Smith album and instantly knew that jazz organ was his calling. Tony began playing jazz in night clubs in his home town of Columbus, Ohio He was influenced by hometown organists such as Hank Marr and Don Patterson. Tony's new-found fascination led him to jazz organ legends Jimmy McGriff, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Charles Earland, Jack McDuff and Lonnie Smith. Here Tony found an unlimited source of inspiration.
