An adventurous yet flexible pianist with a potentially significant future, Anthony Wonsey started playing music when he was six. Wonsey studied first with his mother (a classical pianist) and then Zilner Randolph. After earning a full scholarship to Berklee, from which he graduated in 1994, Wonsey moved to Boston and played locally with Roy Hargrove and Antonio Hart, among others. While still at Berklee, Wonsey toured with Christopher Hollyday, Nnenna Freelon, and Kenny Garrett. A few years later, Anthony Wonsey started playing regularly and recording with the groups of Elvin Jones, Carl Allen and Nicholas Payton. His debut CD as a leader, Anthonyology, was recorded for the Japanese Alfa Jazz label. Today Anthony is one of the most in demand pianists in New York working with the major artists of today. He also leads his own trio and is a member of the ground breaking band Earth Jazz Agents.
