Tony Monaco & Special Friends

Natalie’s presents Tony Monaco and Special Friends for a great evening of music! Tony began his keyboard life at age eight, on the accordion. When he was twelve, his destiny as a jazz organist was sealed when he first heard Jimmy Smith. In 2000, Tony released the critically acclaimed "Burnin Grooves”, and the international success of the recording served as the catalyst for regional and national tours. An ardent student of the Hammond B-3 organ, it's no surprise that he is an accomplished teacher as well. Tony continues his mission to raise awareness and appreciation of jazz organ and its importance in genres as diverse as traditional Gospel, R&B and Modern Jazz.
