Tony Johnson’s 230 Jones Street Band

The 230 Jones Street Band is Bird & Beckett’s legacy combo, with its roots in the Chuck Peterson Trio’s weekly Friday happy hour that kicked off jazz in the bookshop as a regular feature starting 24 years ago. Tony’s one of the mainstays of a generation of players that came up when bebop was America’s hottest commodity! The players that remain never cease to swing, and love navigating the changes that Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charlie Christian and confreres innovated in mid-20th century America. Bebop Lives at Bird & Beckett!
