 Throughout his career, Tony Kadleck has been praised as a highly effective sideman, who has lent his hand to numerous musical activities. He is currently one of the most sought-after trumpet players in the New York area. While attending the New England Conservatory in Boston, Kadleck studied both classical and jazz music, a task that would later benefit him, as he went on to perform and record with the Boston Pops Orchestra. In 1986, Tony was asked to join the trumpet section of the Buddy Rich Band, and later that year, decided to move to New York. After graduating from the Manhattan School of Music in 1989, Kadleck did some touring with Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, and Blood, Sweat & Tears. Eventually, the NY studios kept Tony too busy to leave town, and he found himself recording with a number of artists, including Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Elton John, and Celine Dion. Kadleck also spends plenty of time playing a wide variety of live concerts, having performed with Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Ella Fitzgerald, Issac Hayes, and most recently the Count Basie Orchestra. 
In addition to playing on countless jingles and for many films and shows,
Kadleck has also done a great deal of composing. Since he was 15 years old,
Tony has always loved writing music. His debut CD "Extended Outlook",
features eight of his original works, about which Tony says, "There is
nothing more gratifying than hearing spectacular musicians making these songs
come to life." Kadleck has drawn upon many musical experiences to form his
own voice, which can be heard in both his playing and in his writing
throughout this release. The CD features an amazing cast of musicians,
including Chuck Loeb, David Mann, Henry Hey, Jon Herington and Andy Snitzer.When asked about his musical influences, Kadleck is quick to point out his first teachers: Bernard Shifrin in Tony's hometown of Binghamton, NY; and Andre Come, formerly of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Tony is currently a member of many organizations including the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra, the New York Pops, John Fedchock's NY Big Band, the Westchester Jazz Orchestra, and John Pizzarelli's "Swing Seven".
