ABOUT US
Tone-East Music
In 1994, Tone-East Music became a production company in Englewood, New Jersey. It was created when Mr. Antonio D. Underwood was asked to compose, write, and produce five pieces for the debut CD, Trent Song, of noted Jazz saxello performer John Purcell. Purcell, then working very closely with Saxophone great, David Sanborn and composer/instrumentalist Marcus Miller, was asked to develop his own CD project for Pony Canyon Records in Japan. He immediately called his former student and close friend Antonio.
