Drummer for Outkast, The Goodie Mob and many others, Tony Hightower was mentored by Jazz vocalist Freddy Cole. The singer/songwriter is taking up the mantle to be a bridge that ushers R&B audiences into Jazz…real jazz. With years of experience as a musical performer and actor with familiar roots that place him firmly within the music’s firmament, the Atlanta-native is still just getting started on this benevolent turn in his journey. And he is bringing a lot of young people with him.
