Toni Kitanovski (Skopje, 1964) — Macedonian jazz guitarist and composer.
Kitanovski is a composer and guitarist. From the end of the 1970s and part of the 1980s, his musical mentor was Dragan Яkonovski - Špato. From 1986 to 1990, he led the trio "Spato", with which he held numerous concerts. From 1990 to 1997, he lived in the USA, where he studied. He graduated in composition from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and at the same time composed for Herb Pomeroy's orchestra and for Greg Hopkins' big band.
In 1997, he returned to Macedonia and formed the group "Luna" in Skopje, and later his own trio. He collaborated again with a large number of renowned world musicians, including Greg Hopkins, Charlie Mariano and Matt Dariau. In 1998, he released his first album "One For Charlie") for the production of the "Skopje Jazz Festival", and a year later, with his trio, he promoted the album in the framework of the Kumanovo "Summer Jazz Festival".
On the double CD of the festival (Summer Jazz Festival - Kumanovo, August 26-29, 1999), two compositions of the Trioto by Toni Kitanovski were included: "One for Charlie" and "Lonely Woman", however, due to technical deficiencies from the live performance, on the discs recordings from the studio album were included. As part of the "Skopje Jazz Festival", in October 2000, Toni Kitanovski performed in a duet with the Macedonian musical exhibitionist and vibraphonist Zoran Madzhirov. The material from this performance, entitled "Duet", was published in 2001, by the "Skopje Jazz Festival".
