Tony Monaco, with the Bobby Floyd Trio

Natalie’s Grandview presents Tony Monaco, sitting in for Bobby Floyd on the classic Hammond B3 organ with his Trio on the Corner Stage, located on the restaurant/bar side of the venue. For this dinner performance, there will be no admission charge, but tips are greatly appreciated, and masks are required except while seated at the socially distanced tables and bar seats. Monaco will perform with Derek DiCenzo on guitar and bass, and Reggie Jackson on drums. Members of the group add just the right mix of talent and experience to create the elements necessary to produce an appealing sound that goes well beyond live entertainment.

When Tony was twelve, his destiny as a jazz organist was sealed when he first heard Jimmy Smith. In 2000, he released the critically acclaimed “Burnin Grooves”, and the international success of the recording served as the catalyst for regional and national tours. An ardent student of the Hammond B-3 organ, Tony continues his mission to raise awareness and appreciation of jazz organ and its importance in genres as diverse as traditional Gospel, R&B and Modern Jazz.
