The Tiny Rhythm Kings feature the swinging and soulful drums and vocals of Kelby MacNayr, the outrageously groovy Hammond B3 organ of Dr. Tony Genge, and the masterful guitar work of John Lee. This group is a tour de force of swing!
Drummer and vocalist Kelby MacNayr has performed across North America with many of the greats in jazz and world music, including Grammy Award winners John Clayton, Alex Cuba, and Gail Deadrick; Canadian icons such as Ian McDougall, Dan Thompson, Hugh Fraser, and Neil Swainson; and has shared the stage with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Terell Stafford, Tamir Hendelman, and more.
Pianist and organist Tony Genge has long been a staple of the Canadian jazz scene, teaching at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia before relocating to the West Coast. Tony has played with a who’s who of Canadian and international jazz greats—from David “Fathead” Newman to Jeff Hamilton, John Scofield, and many more.
Guitarist and multi-instrumentalist John Lee is a powerhouse on the West Coast, as well as on the national and international jazz scenes. Through his involvement with Cellar Live Records in Vancouver, BC, John has performed with a long list of some of the finest artists in contemporary jazz.
