On 17th October, bandleader and musician Tony Carpio passed away at the age of 82. He moved to Hong Kong from the Philippines with his family in 1957, at the age of 17. His father, Tom Carpio and his uncle Fred were both working musicians. Tony had started playing his dad's guitar when he was 12. He went on to play a variety of instruments. Tony Carpio was an all-round musician: a composer, arranger, conductor, musical director, and owner of a recording studio. He produced several albums, and was also a keen teacher of music. He was the bandleader of the legendary big band that played at the Excelsior Hotel's Dickens Bar in Causeway Bay for 18 years. In 1972, he joined presenter Ray Cordeiro at RTHK to produce 18 jazz programmes in the “Showcase” series. With us today are Tony's wife, Rosalie, his two sons, Bernard and Chris, “Uncle Ray” Cordeiro, and the former pianist of the Dickens Bar band, Clarin Ebron.
