Last night I took some greatly needed R&R time and went to a local Jazz club
in Indy to hear Tony Monaco play the B3. He happened through town for a
show last night and tonight. It was actually a trio with drums and a guitar
player. If you really appreciate how a Hammond organ can be played and ever
get a change to see this guy play, do not miss it. rarely do you see anyone
put so much passion into their music. I doubt I could have even kept up with
just the bass lines he played with feet and left hand let alone imagine
doing what he can at the same time with his right. Apparently Tony knew
Jimmy Smith quite well (and studied him for years) and enough so by the
family to attend Jimmy Smith's recent funeral.
