Tony Magee branches out from piano playing

    ALL THAT JAZZ

by Michael Foster

Voice lessons from Gery Scott have inspired Tony Magee to branch out from piano playing.

He has formed a “flexible” band to back him and called the compact versions Watch What Happens and the larger 8 piece ensemble, Ultra Lounge.


The band can vary from quartet upwards or outwards and so far has included Andrew Hackwill on alto sax, Andrew Piper on trumpet and flugelhorn, Lane Moore on trombone, Wayne Kelly on keyboards, Brendan Clarke, Duncan Brown or Scott Dodd on bass, Colin Hoorweg on percussion and Matt Moore on drums.
