He has recorded dozens of albums, worked as a sideman with the likes of Elvin Jones, Tom Harrell, Bill Frisell, and Dave Douglas and appeared on major jazz festivals around the globe. He also happens to call Knoxville home. Although Tardy does perform regularly around Knoxville, he very rarely performs his own music with his own band. This performance is the exception.
