These include sessions with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Paul Simon, Buddy Rich, Stevie Knicks, Warren Zevon, and many others. He is also responsible for popularizing the Chapman Stick. He also been responsible for creating something known as "Funk Fingers" (Which you can hear on Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer") Tony has just released a fantastic new solo album "Bringing it Down to the Bass". He's also currently touring with BEAT--a band that includes his former King Crimson bandmate guitarist Adrian Belew (who's been a guest on this podcast), guitarist Steve Vai, and drummer Danny Carey from Tool!
