Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Tony Marino's love of music, especially jazz, started at an early age. Although he began taking piano lessons at the age 7, it was another four years before he started studying seriously with Bill DelGovenatore. Often, without encouragement, he'd sit for hours at a time, practicing. At fourteen and "underage", he began sneaking into neighborhood South Philadelphia Clubs to see jazz greats: McCoy Tyner, Stan Getz, Bill Evans, and Art Blakey, to name a few.

Tony got his first taste of the "business" when he was asked to join a well-known local band, called Idea "71, at the age of 15. The following year, his father died suddenly. Tony continued playing with the band four more years, but with the death of his father, needed to be both physically and financially supportive of his mother and younger sister. Because of this, Tony reluctantly decided to pursue another interest, one in which he developed while playing music- electronics. Continuing to study piano with Tom Lawton, Tony also enrolled in electronics school. For the next fourteen years, he devoted himself to becoming the successful Microwave Design Engineer he is today. In May of '95, Tony relocated with his wife and children to Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Afraid he was leaving behind the music he so loved, Tony was pleased to find a small jazz community in his new state. By September, Tony had met some of the area's finest musicians. Tony's enthusiasm for Latin Jazz caught on and soon Tony Marino and Havana Heat was born. Since it's hugely successful debut at Henry's (Dec. of '95), Tony and the band have been regulars at The Sportsman Bar and Grille and continue to play for area corporate events. January of 1997, Tony released his first CD The Latin Jazz Project, which is available at: The Wooden Nickel and ToneMan Productions (mail order). It has also been played "on air" by numerous public radio stations throughout the country. During a special performance at the Ft. Wayne Art Museum it was Tony's original material from The Latin Jazz Project that caught the ear of the crowd and the band was asked to play for its 75th Anniversary Celebration. The band has also been invited back to Foellinger Theater and the Three River's Festival. Encouraged by the success of his first CD, Tony has since completed his second, Note For Note. In conjunction with this, Tony has also been traveling to Chicago to study with Breno Sauer.

WBNI Disc Jockey, Bruce Reidenbach, said "Although Tony Marino and Havana Heat are recognized as a Latin Jazz band, their music seems to draw new listeners from other genres with each performance." ** Tony Has recently moved to Sacremento, California**
