Best Jazz Musician/Ensemble
TOM CONWAY
Maui’s man of gypsy jazz takes the top number in votes according to our readers. His soulful strumming takes my jazz hands out of my pockets and onto the steering wheel searching for more shows. While Best of Maui’s top Jazz musician Tom Conway is not often gigging, he can be heard by picking up his CD, Hot Gypsy Nights. Mana’o Radio in Wailuku, FM station 91.5, features local, independent musicians who are trying to receive recognition for their hard work. Conway presented his CD to Bill Best, one of the DJs at the station. Best played the CD immediately and Conway was put on the air to talk about the CD. “I am so grateful for the people at Mana’o Radio,” Conway said. “They still play my CD and I have had people recognize the group because of Mana’o Radio.” [JR/CM]
