When Billy Joel requested someone to record "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" as a guide for him to record his own track....they called Tony B. Billy wanted someone to record it in a true"standards style", and so, Tony recorded the track for Billy at Cove City Sound in Roslyn NY, and Billy followed it pretty closely... as can be heard on the album. Terrific fun.
When "The New York Big Band" leader, Joe Battaglia calls, people listen. Joe and his band have played, and continue to play every major venue in the tri-state area. On this album, Tony had the great pleasure of recording two songs, "Time After Time", and "Ain't That A Kick In The Head", both of which were arranged by Richie Iacona.
Via his business associate & dear friend Robert Rosenblatt, Esq., Tony was requested by Director "Harold Ramis", to come into the studio and record "The Little Drummer Boy" for this Focus Features Film. Initially, Harold only asked for 30-45 seconds of recording. However, after hearing it LIVE in the booth, he asked Tony to sing the entire track. The result was that it was used at the very beginning of the movie, and then also included on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD, pictured at left.
Father & Sons...Tony, Anthony, & Steven Babino, teamed up to write, arrange, perform, record, & simultaneously release two different versions of this wonderful new Christmas classic, titled "It's Christmas Time".
