  • Description

    One of the best tenor saxophonists to come along in years, Tim Mayer's approach to the horn is sophisticated, passionate and lyrical. "A powerful new voice has arrived on the jazz scene." - Jimmy Heath. 'Resilience' is his debut as a leader under his own name and features Claudio Roditi on trumpet and George Cables on piano, amongst others.

    Tim attended Berklee College of Music in Boston where he studied with Andy McGhee, George Garzone and Bill Pierce. He has performed with visiting artists such as John Faddis, Bob Mintzer, Arturo Sandoval, Ed Calle, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, Phil Wilson, Slide Hampton, Kirk Lightsey and Danilo Perez. Tim Mayer and Rusty Scott have collaborated to perform a tribute to the Tough Tenors (Johnny Griffin/Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis) and the Boss Tenors (Sonny Stitt/Gene Ammons), which has featured on different occasions special guests Bill Pierce or Andy McGhee. Since 2001, he has been on the Berklee faculty teaching at the Saxophone Weekend, the Five-Week Program, Berklee's City Music Saturday School and as Outreach faculty at Boston Arts Academy.
