A true multi-instrumentalist, he is an accomplished bassist, keyboardist, drummer, guitarist, vocalist, and a prolific composer, arranger and producer.

Throughout his 28 year career, Tony has toured and recorded nationally and internationally with an array of artists including, jazz vocalist and Grammy nominee, Mark Murphy, Japanese artist/keyboardist/producer and multi-award winner, Toshi Hinata (JVC), R&B funk group TKO the "KAJ Orchestra"(Prince), fusion group "Samoa"(ProJazz), artist/guitarist Jimi Behringer (Go Jazz), artist/vocalist Diana Grasselli, Japanese artist/pianist Yukiko Isomura (Victor Records Japan), artist/keyboardist/producer Ricky Peterson, artist/vocalist/writer Kimberly Michaels and pop artist/vocalist icon Donny Osmond.

Doesn't "Axtell" mean "horn of wonder" in your native language? Ha ;o) Late night, but thought I'd say, zzz... May all be well with the jetsetter. Keep your green powder dry and here's to smooth journeys for my old friend.
