Celebrating Philadelphia’s Jazz Legacy with the Tony Miceli Quartet

Philadelphia has long been one of America’s most influential jazz hubs. From the soulful voice of Billie Holiday to the groundbreaking innovations of McCoy Tyner and the modern mastery of Christian McBride, the city has shaped the sound of jazz for generations. On Sunday, October 5, 2025, Cunningham Piano is proud to continue this tradition with an all-Philly jazz showcase, bringing some of today’s most respected local artists together on one stage.

An All-Philly Lineup

The concert will be led by acclaimed vibraphonist Tony Miceli, joined by guitarist/pianist Elijah Cole, bassist Madison Rast, and drummer Dan Monaghan. Together, this dynamic quartet will celebrate the city’s rich musical heritage with an afternoon of inspired improvisation and swinging rhythms.

About Tony Miceli

Tony Miceli has been a central figure in Philadelphia’s jazz scene since graduating from the University of the Arts in 1982. His love for the vibraphone grew during his college years, eventually leading him to become one of the instrument’s most distinctive and prolific voices worldwide.

Over the years, Miceli has performed with jazz luminaries including Peter Bernstein, Dave Liebman, Joe Magnarelli, Larry McKenna, Steve Slagle, and Dave Stryker. His international appearances span festivals and clubs in Canada, Germany, South Korea, and Peru. Beyond performance, Miceli is also a dedicated educator, teaching at both the University of the Arts and Temple University.
