Tony Kaye
Started piano lessons at 4 years old, began playing local concerts by the time he was 12, and wound up attending the London School Of Music with full intentions of becoming a concert pianist
At 15, he discovered he much preferred jazz, dixieland, and rock. Three years later he ended his classical piano lessons altogether, but had permanently acquired a great technique
Auditioned for the movie “This is Spinal Tap” for the role of the Hammond keyboard player, but did not get the part
Tony was in the very first lineup of the supergroup YES
