NEW CD AVAILABLE: tonypacini.com proudly presents "The Tony Pacini Trio Live At Jimmy Mak's"
In addition to my Trio's ongoing shows at Wilf's Restaurant, we performed and recorded live this past Summer at Portland's newest jazz hotspot, Jimmy Mak's. (The Tony Pacini Trio consists of myself on piano, Ed Bennett on bass and Tim rap on drums). Click here for the Trio's bio
The CD that came about from that performance is our best work to date, thanks to those of you who filled the room that night with your attentive passion. Tiffany Sheahan and Classic Pianos graciously provided both the trio and listeners simply the best piano I had ever played, and the enthusiasm from both the audience as well as the bandstand is unparalleled on this CD.
The January 2007 CD release event for "Tony Pacini Trio-Live At Jimmy Mak's" was a stellar success. Over 200 hundred attentive listeners - the size of a small jazz festival - came out to welcome the new recording. We played selections from all three of my CDs as well as tunes not yet recorded. All the music was well received; it was an honor to perform for such a large, enthusiastic audience. Eager for more, many fans went home with autographed CDs. For anyone who wasn't able to brave the crowded room, I'll be happy to sign your CD at any future performance.
Special thanks to: Dick Bogle for standing in as guest emcee; to the staff at Jimmy Mak's for their hard work; to everyone at K.M.H.D. radio who helped introduce the new music over the airwaves especially Dick Bogle and Lynn Darroch for having me on their shows and Calvin Walker for helping promote the event. Thanks also to Gary Fantz for helping Marci at the CD table. Thanks to John Slavick and Classic Pianos for tuning the Yamaha to perfection for this event. The biggest thanks, of course, go out to my loyal listeners. There is nothing like looking out at a sea of familiar, friendly faces. As always, this CD is dedicated to you.
Sincerely, Tony Pacini

Excerpt from liner notes by: Marci W. Maitland READ BELOW:
"On Wednesday, August 9th, an unexpected chain of events, beginning appropriately with a piano, led to this live recording. Thanks to Tiffany Sheahan and Classic Pianos a beautiful Yamaha S-6 was sponsored for the Trio's first performance at the new Jimmy Mak's, Portland's premiere jazz club. Inspired by the Yamaha's responsive touch and depth of tone, Tony contacted Marc Davis of Aloha Sound and "Tony Pacini Trio-Live At Jimmy Mak's" is the result."
