Eastman Guitars Tony Romano has been active in the New York music scene for many years as a guitarist, music director, and teacher. In a review of his latest CD release with musical cohort Michel Gentile, Just Jazz Guitar Magazine said this of his playing, “his tone is beautiful and soulful, and his remarkable technique is a servant to his rich musical imagination and broad harmonic palette†(February 2009).
With a wide range of tastes and playing styles, Mr. Romano has performed around the world with diverse artists such as diverse Cleve Douglass at the Blue Note in Japan, and has toured throughout South America and Europe with Latin legend Joe Bataan. Romano can be heard playing on Mary Foster Conklin's award winning 2006 release /Blues for Breakfast/ with John Di Martino, Joel Frahm, Sean Smith, Ron Vincent. In demand as a sideman, Mr. Romano has performed with Randy Brecker, Stanley Jordan, Debbie Gibson, Alex Gemignani, Chuck Cooper, Frank Wright, Dave Valentine, Yomo Toro, Thomas Chapin, Antonio Hart, and the Flying Neutrinos -- the list of musical associations goes on.
Tony’s guitar work can be heard on Little Airplane's newest kids show, "Third and Bird," produced for the BBC. He has also performed for the Discovery Channel’s mini series “Going, Going, Gone!†and on television commercials for BMW, Volvo, and K-Mart. Special appearances include National Public Radio concert with Duke Ellington band alumni Brit Woodman, Candido, Joya Sherrill, Sayyd Abdul Al-Khabyyr and Barrie Lee Hall, the NBC Today show in New York, Telemundo (New Jersey) and the ABC Morning Show in both Chicago and Atlanta.
