If I’m a sensitive musician, that must have come from a long time ago, right from when I was young. – So how can a hard-headed businessman be such a sensitive musician?

Well, I don’t know exactly how to describe myself as a person… but I’m a businessman as well as a musician: for twenty one years I have run my own company, called MTR Ltd, which manufactures and distributes professional audio equipment, so that will give you some kind of a clue as to the sort of person I am – you’ve got to be a bit hard-headed sometimes in business. – Everybody knows you as a musician, but what kind of person is Tony Reeves?

Is Tony hiding behind these stories? Why not ask him to get deep into his self? And as adventurous too, so drinking coffee at the man’s house just outside London was a mere extra adding to the excitement his stories bring on. But try to talk to Mr Reeves, and you’ll feel as comfortable as when listening to his playing. A man who’s been working with great artists all of his life must be a top player himself – and Tony is the one, which tells nothing of the bassist as a person. How many people are there who can take a three-disc compilation called “Best Prog Rock Album in the World… Ever” and say, “I played with three bands on this one”? Perhaps, there’s only one musician able to do so: his name’s Tony Reeves.
