Tony has been a force on the San Francisco jazz scene for over 50 years — he arrived from his native Australia in 1959 and was immediately playing and recording with great musicians including the sax player Pony Poindexter and vocalist Bev Kelly. He toured with Earl “Fatha” Hines, George Shearing and Peggy Lee, and played the Sullivan show with the Vagabonds (house band for the Las Vegas Tropicana Hotel) on a bill that included Sammy Davis, Jr. To this day, he’s in high demand and gigs constantly around Northern California.
Tonight his band comprises some very fine musicians that he’s often worked with at the Club Deluxe on Haight Street and in numerous other venues.
We rely on Tony to bring great jazz to Bird & Beckett on the fourth Friday of the month, and more!
