Tony Ocean CD Titles "Me and Mrs Jones"  Released May 1st 2010 

The new ocean Cd  offers a departure from his traditional Sinatra /Martin  Ballads   Anchored by the Smash hit Me and Mrs Jones the new Ocean Cd will feature songs by Van Morrison, The Neville Brothers, Lionel Ritchie,

Ocean to introduce 10 new songs from the brand-new CD. However, Tony Ocean needs no introduction as he can lay claim to playing the part of Dean Martin in Chicago's "Rat Pack" production. He also has resoundingly worked the room on a regular basis at the legendary Jilly’s Night Club in Chicago, New York and Las Vegas.

 The CD includes a variety of surprise guest appearances by local music luminaries including  Buckingham’s lead guitarist, Bobby Abrams, Jazz legend Maurice Spiccia and the unforgettable voice of Joyce Fasion, a longtime member of the Redd Foxx and Chaka Khan bands. Fasion’s rhythm and blues roots were evident when she joined Tony Ocean for a memorable duet of the old “I Want Your Love” tune made famous by Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows.

Other highlights included “She” from Knotting Hill and a Lionel Richie song called “Good Bye” that was warmly embraced by the enthusiastic crowd. In a departure from his musical modus operandi,  Ocean broke out a song penned by Robbie Robertson of the Band entitled “Out of the Blue” that revealed Ocean’s other influences. He closed off the first set with the title track from “Me and Mrs. Jones” that had a whole “thing going on” with the entire crowd singing along to the song’s famous hook.

Release date December 1st 2007   Tony Ocean's new Cd "Pardon My Past is a small step away from his Rat Pack style of entertainment.  Ocean 's new Cd produced by Philip Vaughan has a few surprise cuts that will establish Ocean as a more versatile singer.  Tony performs a duet with 17 yr old Lindsay Boven  written by Bonnie Koloc titled Children's Blues, a song made famous by the Late Great Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows.  Ocean steps into uncharted territory releasing a song written by Jim Tullio titled 'This Kind Of Love" that features Gospel back ground singer and a guest studio appearance by Keyboard legend Chris "Chicago Hambone" Cameron and former Pete Special Band Drummer Tom Leddy, and Sax Player John Bowes.  Piano player Paul Casino contributes to the Michael McDonald classic "I can let go now"  Tony Ocean fans will still have a fair share of the old standards on this CD.

Pete Special Mozart Street   By far the Best R & B Band to come from Chicago Pete the Co-Founder of the 80"s R&B sensation Big Twist and The Mellow Fellows Special is a guitar-playing hipster (who) treads the territory somewhere between Dr. John and Tom Waits. A little horny rock, a little soul, a little blues, all played well."- The horn driven eight piece band that Special fronts on this Cd is rock solid and a perfect accompaniment for his gruff, Dr. John style vocals and sophisticated, film noir-ish lyrics."

Soul Fix  Living Numb is the final product of what appeared to be a lifetime of writing for Chicago singer/songwriter Marlon Longid.

Living Numb was produced by Marlon Longid, and mixed/engineered by Pete "Paris" Lahr and Soulfix during the following weeks. Al Ursini completed mastering at Studio Chicago in May 2000.
