• DIGIPACK EDITION

Chicago born pianist Anthony Wonsey began his lessons at 6 years old, he views his playing as a result of “it takes a village to raise a child” or teach a musician. This session is Wonsey’s tip of the hat to all of his instructors and mentors that have made him the successful pianist and educator he has become. This album consists of mostly trio songs with3 tracks featuring trumpet and sax. Anthony has lived in NYC since 1995 and has continued to be inspired by Lorraine Tiezzi who is a connoisseur of the Black American art form known as jazz. It’s for her that this session is dedicated to.
