For today’s episode we welcome jazz organist Tony Monaco to the show. Tony is a master of the Hammond B3 and has collaborated with many other great jazz musicians, including fellow jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco, drummer Steve Smith, as well as guitarists Pat Martino and George Benson, among many others. Downbeat Magazine named Tony in the top 5 jazz organists internationally for the years 2005-2011 and his albums have been both commercially successful and critically acclaimed, with several climbing to the upper levels of Jazzweek’s annual top 100 listings. Our conversation covers much ground related to error, ego, humility and music, but also Tony’s struggles with alcoholism over the course of his career. And be sure to listen all the way to the end for a great live rendition of Tony’s composition I’ll Remember Jimmy.
John Kaag is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at UMass Lowell and External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. John W. Traphagan, Ph.D. is Professor and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Fellow in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is also a professor in the Program in Human Dimensions of Organizations.
