All we ask of you, is enter Union Train Station through the door marked "Wilf's" 7:00pm-11:00pm, Friday, 1-31-20. Exercise your ability to enjoy live jazz whilst calling the Holidays over for a while.
Jazz music by the Tony Pacini Trio every "Last Friday of the Month" at Wilf's Jazz Lounge at Union Train Station.
The last Friday of every month is when the Tony Pacini Trio performs at Wilf's Jazz Lounge. The stage is set for this month's "last Friday" (February 28th, 2020).
On the menu; a diet of charm, class, and sophistication, coming form the kitchen, bar and bandstand.
Pacini's delicious approach will lead the whole thing on piano, with Tim Rap's taste on drums, and the wholesome bass accompaniment of Ed Bennett.
Come on down and be indulgent with class - yum.
Leave behind the decadence. Go to Wilf's Restaurant and Jazz Lounge, because you deserve too, right?
Friday, February 28th, find yourself in the posh setting of Wilf's Jazz Lounge, (at Union Train Station).
You'll find those familiar sounds that echo Oscar Peterson, Monty Alexander, Ahmad Jamal, George Shearing, and others, but are unique to The Tony Pacini Trio.
Meet Frank (James) behind the bar who will pour you anything you desire and call you "Honey" at the same time. (He calls everyone honey).
Note: last month, Jerome and Diane won the consulation prize by identifying "Nature Boy" before the melody was stated. They received "Frank's" autograph and a KMHD Jazz Radio sticker - for real, just come down and meet the fans, followers and friends!

Mention "You read it in The Pacini Post" when you make your reservations and be entered into a prize drawing to win Frank the bartender's autograph, again. By The Way his name isn't Frank, but he'll sign an autograph.The new website is here, but it's not necessarily the page your viewing now. Let's embrace technology. For 2020, the trio
(Ed Bennett bass, Tim Rap drums, myself) will be selling E.P.'s (Extended Play, 3-4 selections per) video packages. To encapsulate the new project,
a new, refined website was needed at tonypacini.com, and it's official and up.
We'll also be re-distributing our previously recorded CDs (Compact Discs) in digital format through the standard status quo now found on the internet.
Several "canned" but previously unreleased recording sessions will also be made available. We are constantly filming, so there'll always be a plethora of
free and new content, but the bonus will be in the E.P.'s We'll be adding things like; insight to the playing, history of a composition, the arrangements,
lead sheets and printed music, files for disklavier player pianos, etc.
This is really exciting stuff, so when the announcement comes that E.P's are available, we hope you'll come back for those specialities.
Additionally, help spread the word about this webpage you're on right now - this little "culdesac on the internet": Visit the main site at; tonypacini.com Remember, to keep coming back for the latest videos, and those E.P.'s Want to see some videos? Continued on page 6...

My videographer/video moderator Ciro Fusco called me the other day and asked; "Tony! What was the name of that tune you were playing in the last video shoot we did?" I replied over the phone; "Who Know's?", and so it became. About the film "Who Knows?" - My good friend and colleague Willie Matheis happened to call me the night we were filming at exactly the time we needed to take a break whilst Ciro made some adjustments on the cameras. I asked Willie over the phone if he was nearby, and if he might be interested in stepping in the shoot since my drummer Tim Rap was on a gig that night. Willie said; "Sure, my acting chops aren't up, but my playing is." We're actually playing the chord progression to "There'll Never Be Another You" in the key of Eb (for those of you keeping score at home). A few weeks later, Ciro was looking over the footage prior to editing, and felt that there was something "retro cool" about this selection. He did his artistic magic, and then added the following comment in the Vimeo description box: "A rare archival video clip of the greatest jazz pianist Tony Pacini broadcasted in the Summer of 1959 from the Classic Pianos Studio in Portland Oregon, featuring Ed Bennett on Bass and Willie Matheis on Tenor Sax." Just to clarify, my mother would have been 10 years old in 1959, and I hadn't even been born yet. Anyways, that's Ciro's humor for you, but more importantly, watch the video for his artistry. Musically, it's a very be-bop-ish dialog we're having on this one. I like to think of it expressing a bit of that West Coast jazz feel. Watch more videos...

The 2nd Friday and Saturday every month always brings together an audience, as well as a piano trio that has perfected itself since 1999 -
The Tony Pacini Trio performs every 2nd Friday & Saturday of each month at the Benson Hotel. "I get to play my arrangements of multiple repertoires;
American songbook standards, jazz musician's compositions, originals, and slightly more adventurous pop tunes.
And, I can do so with my stellar colleagues and friends Ed Bennett bass, and Timothy Rap drums." Join the fun; elegant surroundings, no cover,
full bar, live jazz. Simple.
Well, it looks like I'm back to stride and bass lines in the left hand. I'll do my best to make the piano sound wide, harmonically rich,
and occasionally go for that "three handed sound". Join me and the serenade, every Thursday night at the Benson Hotel 309 SW Broadway Portland, Oregon. 8:30pm...

By Psychic Sid
"It's going to be a packed house full of cheer and socializing amongst the jazz fans at Wilf's Jazz Lounge February 28th, 2020. Pacini's piano is in conjunction.
The fast tempos will be fueled by fire, the cool swing by water. Earthly delights found on every table."
Aries: Drive to the show, slow and carefully. Will you be granted the title of Shogun?
Taurus: Get the best seats, drink, dine and bask.
Gemini: Go to the bar - twice.
(If your date is a Gemini, call a cab later).
Cancer: Start with the crabcakes. Tell a friend you'll bring them two choices - it will be revealed.
Leo: Own the savanna, be still, and without question or doubt, go and hear the music.
Virgo: Have a steak cooked to perfection. Check your accounts first if you must, then spend.
Libra: Sit on the left, but then sit on the right in 15 minute equal intervals. (Make everyone happy too).
Scorpio: Don't give up, have fun - you might meet an Aquarius.
Sagittarius: Have a beer. If you can't get the beer you want, ask for a beer.
Capricorn: Don't go shopping before the show. Definitely go to the show and have a beer.
Aquarius: Buy a Scorpio a shot.
Pisces: Eat trout if it's on the menu, otherwise share some crabcakes with a Cancer.

"Okay, let's admit there's a dash of satire here regarding sensationalism in the news nowadays,
but these stories do play with comically (and without any malicious intent), our love for music, which will always be real. Thanks for stopping by". ~Tony Pacini, Jazz Pianist.
