Interview with Jazz Singer, Tony Hightower

Singer/Actor Tony Hightower Is On A Mission To Lure Young Genration Into Jazz

So here’s the story……We were minding our business in the media tent of the 2022 Atlanta Jazz Festival when we looked out and saw a familiar face. It was our buddy , so immediately I ran out the tent to go say hello. We interviewed Tony Hightower many years ago on When We Speak TV, so it was cool to see him again. After speaking with him, I found out that he was performing with Kathleen Bertrand, which was very exciting to hear…….what was even more exciting was when I found out that he was releasing his second album.

“Good melody and grooves are good melodies and grooves no matter what genre.”
