		He also proved a natural musician, absorbing classical as well as pop and rock material seemingly effortlessly, in the eyes of his friends -- at 16, he could play anything that was on the charts, and was also conversant with generations of church music and concert works, and what lay behind their sounds.
		Banks was also less than comfortable with Charterhouse's academic regimen, and he rebelled by way of music, forming a rock band called the Garden Wall with his classmate and new friend Peter Gabriel, and drummer Chris Stewart.
		On their earliest sides, Banks played piano, organ, and some Mellotron, as well as guitar, and also contributed to the backing vocals -- just as those early sides by the fledgling group were a kind of Bee Gees/Moody Blues pastiche, so Banks' playing was somewhere midway between that of Maurice Gibb and Mike Pinder.

		Tony Kaye's time in Yes was a formative period for musician and group alike.
		The group, formed by fellow ex-Yes member Peter Banks, sounded on their first album like a Yes in exile, as though the band from Yes' Time and a Word album were suddenly trying to outstrip the Fragile album.

	Tony Banks
		Of all the musicians that once were a member of Genesis Tony Banks (born on 27 March 1950 in East Hoathly, Sussex) can be considered to be the soul of the band.
		Banks' final attempt to make a name for himself outside the Genesis-context was Strictly Inc. This record contains Banks' longest composition ever put on record ('An island in the darkness', over 17 minutes), and is generally speaking a nice album, but doesn't come close to Still, mainly due to the rather poor vocals.
		Tony Banks can be considered to be the prime example of the brilliant musician who tried so hard as a solo artist to create music that would be appreciated across the globe, only to end up neglecting his artistic genius.

	Tony Banks - Biography (engl.)
		It is a shame, really, that Tony’s role in Genesis is appreciated only by fans and the odd critic, when it was in fact he who was the dominant influence on the music of Genesis throughout the history of the band and unimpressed by any change of lineup.
		Tony changed some of the lyrics, though, because there was a musical in London that was based on the story as well, so that there was no connection anymore.
		Tony had worked on the score for almost six months, writing two hours’ worth of music, but whatever he sent to Hollywood was rejected and in the end Tony’s music was not used for the film.

		Banks first recordings were in 1964 with Stones cover band, The Devil's Disciples, which are still circulating as bootlegs.
		Banks had been due to play in the John Jowitt and Friends band at the Baja Prog V festival, but the performance was cancelled because of availability problems.

	World of Genesis - TONY BANKS BIOGRAPHY 1950-2008
		The youngest of five children, Tony Banks was encouraged to play music by his parents John and Nora at a very young age.
		Banks continued to study the piano with interests ranging from classical to pop music of the era.
		Banks assumed lead vocals on The Fugitive along with keyboards and synthesizers which, in retrospect, may not have been the ideal choice given Banks' limited abilities as a lead singer.

	Now This log: Comment on 'Music: Tony Banks' Seven, others'
		Banks I'd say it was by Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev, Glinka, Waugham Williams, Michael Tippet or John Williams, from time to time.
		Banks is (as we all know) a very talented melody thinker and gifted harmonist, but it takes much more than this to write something that can really say something new in the perspective of 500 years of "classical" music, or at least outstand a bit from the ocean of music composed until now.
		In fact I cant get rid of the suspicion that Banks just wanted to play with a new toy, being now 50 and, I imagine, somewhat bored by the last 15 years of Genesis music, which, we have to admit it, is much less demanding (and less satisfactory to the ears) than the former one.

		Most recently Tony Joe White has released The Heroines and the critically acclaimed new album “Uncovered” both have been released on his own label, Swamp Records.
		The elusive J. Cale snakes through the prowling groove of “Louvelda.” Most notably on this album is the late Waylon Jennings, who joins Tony Joe for a timeless performance of the previously unrecorded, “Shakin the Blues,” in one of Waylon’s final studio appearances.
		Emotions overflow in his vocals, spilling from each melody like rivers washing out their banks: sensual on “Run for Cover”, defiant on “Rebellion”, and enlightened by life’s painful lessons in “Taking the Midnight Train”.

	Amazon.co.uk: Seven: a Suite for Orchestra: Tony Banks, Mike Dixon: Music
		Composer Tony Banks is perhaps best known for his writing and keyboard playing with the progressive rock group Genesis over the last three decades.
		Banks’ compositions have always favored more complex musical structures that lend themselves to expansion with an orchestra, compared with normal pedestrian three-chord rock structures.
		I've been an admirer of Banks since the early 70's when as a classical musician his piano introduction to 'Firth of Fifth' sparked my interest in prog rock.However, this CD is Banks at his best.

	Amazon.com: Still: Tony Banks: Music
		But there are always hints of Banks' genius and signature keyboard styling in every one of his albums (e.g., listen to "An Island in the Darkness" on his "Strictly, Inc." cd), even though he took a decidedly "poppier" route in many of the songs.
		Banks even gets into the singing act (no surprise), as his vocalization on his lone vocal, titled "Hero For An Hour", is both tolerable and cute on all fronts.
		Tony is currently working on two separate musical projects as we speak: one's an album of classical suites, the other's a rock album (the working title of this album is "Denied").

		Tony was quite clear from the beginning what he wanted.
		Even though Tony was very receptive to any idea I offered and great to work with, I did not have any song writing input - which was quite difficult for me. I was always used to being part of the writing team so this experience was very different.
		Tony was wonderfully supportive and open to work with.

	Ground and Sky review - Bankstatement - self-titled
		Banks even sings a song ("Big Man") himself and while his singing isn't terrible, it could best be described as "weak." I doubt Banks was ever in the running for the spot of Genesis lead singer when Peter Gabriel left, but if so then it's no surprise that Phil Collins won.
		Another Exhibit A for submission in the case of "Phil Collins did not single-handedly destroy Genesis," this Tony Banks solo project couched as a band, arrived sandwiched in between the Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance albums.
		As for the rest, the music and all the fixin's are way too stifled within that late 80s early-digitalized period to lend any sense of vivacity or enjoyment.

	YouTube - Tony Banks- The Gift
		It could be that Tony carried out the romantic side of him with this song which I wouldn't call kitschy.
		To put Tony Banks into a box by saying, "how can the author of 'Firth of Fifth' write songs like this?' is completely short-sighted.
		Tony music is unique, either progressive or pop-influenced it remains unique, his elegant signature is stamped in every song he writes either complex or simple.

	TONY BANKS The Fugitive music reviews and MP3
		Not the runaway success it might have been, "The Fugitive" is still the best of the Tony BANKS solo efforts, featuring melodic and magical pop songs that work their way under the skin despite his somewhat limited voice.
		Banks is surely a genius, a fantastic keyboards player and Genesis would never be what they were without him.
		Of course, Tony isn't a singer and we should probably be grateful that he does a really good job on a few of the songs.
