    Hi Tony welcome to the Network you don't know me but my name is TROY Campbell I play Tenor,Alto Flute String bass and a few other instruments. I think I am getting a few E-Mails for other people in this network that think you are me and I am you. I just moved back to Pittsburgh fromVirginia where I lived for 22 years. I worked with Johnny Costa for two years until he died. I am now 77 and still working once in a while. I would hope someday we could meet and talk about your playing. Good Luck from an old Dude.

    Hi Tony,
    How's everything going?
    Are you doing any jam sets?
    I really appreciate all your musical talents and how you've helped me acheive musical success.
    You do such a nice job of MCing jam sessions.
    You give us really nice introductions at the jam sets, and you also let us pick tunes of our choice.
    It's also pretty cool that you challenge us with tunes and pick different tempos and styles of tunes too.
    I also appreciate how nice you are to my Mom.
    It's pretty cool too that some of your family had my Dad at 5th Ave. High School. Although my deepest sympathy to all those great Schenley Boys Basketball Teams that probably lost to 5th Ave. and Brashear (If this is incorrect, please let me know, the rivalry does sound both intriguing and exciting).

    Anyways, I hope you continue to entertain, bebop, and swing.

    Feel free to call us about coming over to our house for dinner.

    Thanks for making such a great impact to my life and career.

    Keep Swinging,
    Ed Skirtich

    Dear Tony,
    It's so nice to read about you and realize that you're held in such deservedly high regard by your peers. I carry with me always the memory of your hauntingly, lush rendition of "Naima," in which you clearly outshine Coltrane.
    With love,
    Nancy P.

    Ok, I have to ask....What is Jazz Surgery? I know it's the name of your band but what does the "surgery" part imply?

  • James R. Meny

    Oh, ok. Get it. Makes sense. I am called by some of my clients as "voice911." So, surgery makes a lot of sense....Dr. Campbell.

    Tony, we need to get together for lunch or dinner sometime. It seems we are close to being on the same page on some issues in the Jazz community of Pittsburgh. Love to hear some of your ideas. Let's talk soon. James

    Tony, My heart goes out to you. Your a very warm and heartfelt person I've grown to admire and trust. I"m deeply appreciative of knowing you your dad and your history. I'll never forget that theft of your saxophone at Pitt music library, but what a recovery it turned out to be. You are a Pittsburgh icon I got to know. I cherish knowing you. Your Brother, ALI.

I hope that I can catch you playing somewhere and hear some REAL music....although you play sax and I play drums, I learned some stuff about "the craft" from you when I was just a young one hanging with my cousin Hump at the K&S Lounge and places of the like, thanks man!
