About the Artist

Tony Quintiliani has been playing the saxophone for 29 years and has been performing professionally in the greater New England area for over 20 years. Having been recognized for his exceptional ability many times throughout his musical career, Tony studied at the Berklee College of Music as well as privately with John Payne, Bill Thompson and Dennis Taylor. He began his career working with the popular local Boston R&B/Motown act "Sally and the Sophisticatz" throughout 80's and later continued with such bands as "The Wrecking Crew," "The Whitewalls," "The Big Bad Wolf," "The Swinging Johnsons," "Something Blue," "The Love Dogs," "Blue Heaven," "The Bruce Marshall Group," "The Feel," "Comic Strip," and "Clutch Grabwell." In addition to performing as part of these rock, r&b and blues groups, Tony formed his own jazz group "Q'd Up" which performed in several jazz clubs in the Boston area for over 2 years.

His performances have played a part in opening acts for such well known artists as "The Beach Boys," "John Pousette-Dart," "Wilson Pickett," "Junior Walker," "Eddie Money," "David Cassidy" and "Johnny Winter." He has also performed on stage with blues legend "Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown." He is currently a member of the acoustic rock group "The Jon Frattasio Band" with whom he has performed at Jimmy Buffet’s "Margaritaville Café" in Key West as well as several venues around Boston and Cape Cod.

Tony brings a positive, crisp and passionate jazz flavored funky groove to every performance. His most recent jazz recording endeavor "A Circle of Riffs" covers a wide variety of jazz styles from sweet ballads to samba to funk and includes original music co-written by Tony.
