Yes, I studied with him for about a year, but the day job got in the way ..
I used to travel to RI on business between 1978 - 1984, and then we moved here ... when on business, I used to go to Allarey's on Monday nights to hear the big jazz band ... "Tony Giorgiani and Jazz Odyssey" ... REALLY great local musicians in that band ...

but not for you this April.
I haven't heard the name Tony G in years!! So you do know Allarys. My favorite all time at Allary's were the Sundays with Mike Renzi, piano (later went on to accompany Mel Torme,Mike is still playing in NYC last I heard) Artie Cabral, drums, Art Pelosi on sax and Bob Petterutti on bass. Not much of that going on anymore in RI, too bad!
