Tony Remy is one of the world's most exciting guitar players of any genre. His hard-edged rhythmically driven approach is enriched with jazz intuition and bluesy soul. His ability to adapt to any style of music sets him apart from many other guitarists and is the principle reason why Tony’s name is consistently near the top of the ‘must have’ list. Just ask Annie Lennox, Jack Bruce, Pee Wee Ellis, Mick Hucknall, Glenn Hughes, Craig David, etc. why they called him and the answer will always be the same - “Tony Remy delivers!”
Live on stage, his relentless invention and incredible raw energy can set the crowd on fire.The reputation he has gained within the jazz community worldwide is fast making a legend out of this North London musician.
Tony started his professional music career in 1986, although he was on the Jazz scene earlier. He recalls: "I had a band called ‘Cube 60’ in 1984 with Winston Clifford, Joe Bashorun and Nick Cohen. We were crazy about Miles Davis, Weather Report, Steps Ahead (a.k.a. Steps) and the Brecker Brothers, so we were writing and playing that stuff. I even had a rock band called ‘Secretary Bailey’.” he said with a smile.
Then, in 1985 ‘Cube 60’ developed into ‘Desperately Seeking Fusion’ with Frank Tontoh (Amy Winehouse, Jack Bruce, George Michael, etc.), Joe Bashorun Robin Ashland Nick Cohen Jason Rebello (Jeff Beck, Sting, etc.) and Julian Crampton (Sunburst Band, Dexys, Incognito, etc.). “That was really my first outing as co bandleader.” he proudly remembers.
Way before he released anything under his own name, Tony was hard at work as an in-demand session player, contributing quality guitar to albums by London Jazz alumni such as Cleveland Watkiss, Jason Rebello, Steve Williamson, Philip Bent, Roger Beaujolais and Jean Toussaint. Tony Remy’s reputation was growing and a certain American Jazz label had taken a particular interest in this young British rising star.
