Tony Wilson this Friday night and Hip Hop update....

Tony Wilson and the Longhand Trio Friday Night!

Friday, August 6th at the Roxy, 7:30pm

Tony Wilson is a sophisticated stylist whose sound reflects the dirty-blues and hipster-bop elements of the big cities where jazz was born. Some of his most popular performances have been his big-band interpretations of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, and Captain Beefheart. It’s magical stuff, and Wilson will be well supported when he brings his Longhand Trio to the Roxy on Friday (August 6). Bassist Russell Sholberg and drummer Skye Brooks might be city boys, but they’re empathetic enough to join their leader wherever he wants to go, however surprising, delightful, or strange those places might be.

If you like musical adventure, don’t miss this show!

 Admission is only $10, payable at the door.
