Tim McDonald started his professional career while still in high school playing with blues and swing bands in the NE Ohio Area. Upon graduation he attended Youngstown State University on the Tony Leonardi Jazz Scholarship and finished his degree at Kent State University, receiving the Walter Watson Jazz Award.
Tim's music has taken him to venues nationally as well as internationally and has shared the stage with a diverse group of musical heavyweights including Bobby Selvaggio, Blue Lunch, Hollywood Slim, Dean Cohen, Mark Russo, Mark Gonder, Dave Sterner and Ernie Krivda. He currently resides in the Cleveland area and coaches jazz combos at Cleveland Heights High School as well as teaching privately.
The music of the Tim McDonald Quartet is a mix of original music and arrangements from all decades. Usually performing with his electric group, Move Quartet, this is Tim’s first public presentation of his music in an acoustic setting.
Joining him will be Dale Rothenberg on Piano, Kevin Johnson on Bass and Anthony Taddeo on drums.
