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 sax player Pony Poindexter and vocalist Bev Kelly.

Tony toured with Earl “Fatha” Hines, George Shearing and Peggy Lee,
and played the Sullivan show with the Vagabonds (Las Vegas Tropicana Hotel house band)
on a bill that included Sammy Davis, Jr.

To this day, he’s in high demand and gigs constantly around Northern California.

We rely on Tony to bring great jazz to Bird & Beckett
on the fourth Friday of the month, every month!
Never fails, and always swings!
