Welcome to the Artistic Director's Guide

The Artistic Director's Guide is our way of taking you "beyond the bio". Here you'll find audio and video clips, and I'll describe what I like about each artist and suggest why he or she is important to the scene. So dive in—use the menu options above to find an artist, and let's seek to answer "What's so good about...?"

What's so good about Tony Monaco?

Submitted by Josh Grossman on Tue Jun 15 3:34pm
Artist: 
Tony Monaco Trio

I can't remember exactly when I first heard jazz organ. I do know it was Jimmy Smith, and I do remember exactly how I reacted. I remember thinking: "Are you kidding? Can music feel this good? Can it groove this hard?" The answer, of course, is yes...and Tony Monaco is bringing that groove to the TD Toronto Jazz Festival.
