Tony Guerrero



Tony Guerrero (born September 20, 1966) is a musician, songwriter, and producer. His career as a jazz trumpeter has spanned over twenty years starting with the release of his first CD, Tiara, in 1988. He has since released seven solo albums, several of which garnered critical praise, Top 20 jazz radio play, and earned him a worldwide audience. His songs have been recorded by jazz artists around the world including contemporary stars, Brian Bromberg and Greg Vail, and he has toured as a headliner and guest artist throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, South America, and the South Pacific. He has played on albums from dozens of other artists and recorded and/or performed with artists as diverse as Freddie Hubbard, Tom Scott, Brian Wilson, Billy Idol, Slash, Phil Keaggy, David Pack, and countless others. His work as a producer has placed him in a wide variety of styles from jazz, rock, country, Christian, and musical theater.

Guerrero's latest CD releases are "Blue Room"-2010 (which spent about five months on the national jazz charts) "Apasionado"-2008, a collection of original Latin/Brazilian themed music featuring Grant Geissman, Bill Cantos, Brian Bromberg, Eric Marienthal and more, and "This IS The Hi-Fi Quintet"-2008, a band project paying homage to the retro-lounge music of the 1950s–60s. Both CDs are available on iTunes and via his website, as are many of his recordings.

In 2010, Tony was asked to create big band arrangements for two John Tesh CDs (John Tesh Big Band & John Tesh Christmas Big Band). These albums were followed by numerous national tours (for which Tony held the solo trumpet chair with a 12 piece big band) and a well-received PBS special.
