Tony Monaco Concert at Cliff Bell’s

Tony Monaco is one of the top jazz organists you might discover, a protégé of the legendary Jimmy Smith. Starting out in Columbus, Ohio, he gained international recognition with several acclaimed albums and collaborations with jazz greats. At Cliff Bell’s, he performed two sets, with dinner and seating starting at 6 p.m. leading into the first show at 7:30 p.m., followed by a late set at 9:30 p.m. If you appreciate the warm, dynamic sound of the Hammond B-3 organ, his performance was a solid chance to hear it live.
