This Friday at 6pm, drummer Tony Johnson corrals the usual suspects — Charlie McCarthy, saxophone; Sam Cady, piano; Chuck Bennett, bass — for another earth invasion by Bird & Beckett’s legacy jazz band, with its roots in the 2002 trio that Chuck Peterson used to establish a weekly Friday happy hour jazz tradition in Glen Park.

Make Tony’s dates a habit: fourth Sunday of every month. The 230 Jones Street band plays two months in a row, then switches out for a two-set engagement with the Tony Johnson Quartet (Bob Kenmotsu, tenor sax; Keith Saunders, piano; Eric Markowitz, bass, Tony on drums).

Then, it’s back to the 230 Jones band for two months, the Tony Johnson Quartet for a month, two months of 230 Jones, a month of Tony’s quartet, et seq. You’ll get (the) rhythm, both.

In June,  it will be the quartet, In July and August, 230 Jones Street.

Either way, it’s bebop, swing, post bop, bossa… all jazz, all great.
