Trumpeter and self-taught keyboardist, drummer, and guitarist Tony Guerrero became involved in contemporary jazz while learning how to play wind instruments. His first experiences as a performer came soon after joining the All District Honor Band, the California Junior Philharmonic, and the California Swingphonics Orchestra. His first releases, called Tiara and Different Places, revealed his talent to combine jazz and Latin pop rhythms, melded in a very unique way. Guerrero headlined the 1991 Cancun International Festival and once again in 1993. He has recorded with ex-Guns 'N' Roses guitarist Slash and ex-Beach Boy Brian Wilson, among other artists and composed successful music, such as the hit single "Love's Gift" featured on the album Sax by Moonlight by Greg Vail. ~ Drago Bonacich
