Thelonious4 has invited the great American vibraphone player Tony Miceli to do a series of concerts in Europe Thelonious4 featuring Tony Miceli (vibraphone).

“Tony Miceli is a vibraphonist of astonishing virtuosity, musical resilience, and
inventiveness. Miceli is prone to experiment, but his creative impulses are well-considered and rooted in tradition. ” – Vic Schermer, All About Jazz

Miceli's playing has been compared with the legendary Milt Jackson and Gary Burton. He played with musicians like David Liebman and teaches all over the world.

Miceli from Philadelphia is known for his works with his own group Monkadelphia, which deals with Monk's music in an innovative and modern way.

Miceli's approach of Monk's music closely resembles the way Thelonious4 plays the music: open, communicative and looking for new sounds. A strong and convincing concert series is to come!
