A Blend of Pittsburgh Jazz Tradition and Contemporary StyleAcclaimed saxophonist Tony Campbell brings his band Jazzsurgery to the Carnegie Carnegie to kick off the 2025 Studio Jazz Series in a celebration of the rich history of jazz in Pittsburgh, delivering a joyous and unforgettable experience for music lovers.
The youngest saxophone player inducted into the Pittsburgh Jazz Society’s Hall of Fame, Campbell's musical journey began in Pittsburgh’s vibrant Hill District in 1973. With a career that spans more than four decades, Campbell has collaborated with legendary artists, toured extensively and made significant contributions to the national jazz scene.
After studying at Berklee College of Music and the University of Pittsburgh, under the esteemed Dr. Nathan Davis, Campbell toured with Roy Ayers and became a leading voice in various ensembles, including the Roger Humphries Big Band. He has performed with entertainment greats such as Ben Vereen, Marvin Hamlisch, Jack Jones, Neil Sedaka and many others, developing his own distinct sound along the way.
In 2000, Tony returned home from the road, began teaching, rejoined the Roger Humphries Big Band as the lead alto player and started Jazzsurgery. In 2005, he recorded his first CD as a bandleader, titled “T.C.B. II: Taking Care of Business.” His second CD, “Eastside,” was released in 2013 and features acclaimed Pittsburgh musicians such as Sean Jones, Roger Humphries, and Dwayne Dolphin.
Currently, Campbell is performing, recording, producing, teaching, and leading jazz jam sessions showcasing some of the Pittsburgh region’s finest up-and-coming talent. His mission is to keep the great American jazz tradition alive for generations to come.
