Tony Corizia

made with the Cosmoedit Myspace Editor
Short bio:
Tony Corizia is one of the finest bass-guitar players in Italy. Among his works we can highlight the original score for the videogame “Batman-Dark Tomorrow”, released worldwide by Kemko/Japan & DC Comics/USA for XBOX and Sony Playstation 2, plus numerous tours and studio sessions with the worlds top musicians. At the moment he is the only official endorser for t Yamaha bass-guitars in Italy. “Basswoodoo”, his second album (the first one, “Bassology” was distributed by Warner Music), features a melting pot of rock, alternative, progressive and much much more. With his own works together with well known songs (such as “Save a prayer” by Duran Duran and “Pink Panther Theme” by Henry Mancini), the album contains incredible features, such as the former Deep Purple drummer Jan Paice and the Jazz Guitarist Beppe Cantarelli.
