AllAboutJazz.com Prodigy(and nephew!) of John McLaughlin BIOGRAPHY Tony Grey was born in Newcastle, England in 1975 where music was just another family member. At the age of 19 years and whilst under the watchful eye of legendary guitarist John McLaughlin, Tony successfully auditioned for scholarship to the world renowned Berklee College Of Music in Boston.
At Berklee, Tony studied with great teachers - Kenwood Dennard, Larry Watson, Bruce Gertz, and Rich Appleman. During his remaining 4 semesters won himself the prestigious Outstanding Performer Award! Since graduating, Tony has led many clinics & master classes at Berklee and has appeared in many of the college’s showcase events including a tribute concert to U.S pop legends Steely Dan hosted by Berklee’s president <>and attended by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker of Steely Dan.
Tony graduated from Berklee with high honours in May 2001, and has gone on to perform with some of the world’s greatest musicians - such as:
John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Brian Blade, Steve Lukather (Toto) Branford Marsalis, Simon Philips (Toto), Dave Holland, Kenwood Denard (Sting, Miles Davis), Russell Ferante (The Yellow Jackets), David Fiuczynski (Screaming Headless Torsos, Me’shell NdegeOcello), Hiromi, Larry Watson, Jetro Da Silva (Whitney Houston, Patti Austin), Toby Lightman, Gavin McGraw, David Garfield, Frank McComb, David Nichtern, Gene Lake (David Sanborn), Dave DiCenso, Oliver Rockberger, Falguni, Deantoni Parks, Lionel Loueke (Wayne Shorter, Charlie Haden), Sam Kiniger (Soul Live), Charles Haynes (The Squad) and Kelly Buchanan. NEWS I just got back from a long month away in Japan, China and a short trip to Hong Kong…I was touring with the GREAT Japanese piano player Hiromi Uehara. We played at the Tokyo Jazz festival. This for me was an amazing experience - first I got to perform with the Hiromi Trio. As well as Hiromi and myself, the trio features the incredible Slovakian drummer Martin Valihora. While I was in Japan I met up with some old friends from Berklee College - Gilad Ronan (sax) and Lionel Loueke) (guitar). Gilad & Lionel were performing with the Monk Institute. Lionel was also sitting in with the Herbie Hancock Quartet.They both sounded great. On the last night of the festival Herbie Hancock invited a few musicians to join the band on stage for a live performance. He invited me to perform with his Quartet featuring Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland and Brian Blade along with Steve Lukather and Simon Philips from Toto. This was an unbelievable honor and a very exciting experience for me. After Tokyo we travelled to China and performed at the Toshiba Jazz Festival in Shanghai. Again, we were performing with the Herbie Hancock Quartet. I was so inspired and blessed to be able to watch these great musicians every night. We returned to Japan for the second part of the tour opening for the legendary pianist Oscar Peterson and his trio featuring bassist Niels Henning Ørsted-Pedersen, drummer Alvin Queen and guitarist Ulf Wakenius. These guys were a lot of fun to travel with because of their stories and great music. Mr Peterson is truly amazing, he is indeed a living legend.
