Warren Hill
Saxophone
He’s the rocker among the Smooth Jazz Artists: Canadian born Saxophonist Warren Hill’s first instruments were guitar and vocals. By the age of 13 he was already the frontman of a local Toronto rock band, singing Led Zeppelin and Rush. It was at the age of 17 that he was introduced to jazz music by David Sanborn, Michael Brecker and Charlie Parker. From that point on he went full on into studying the saxophone. With the release of his last CD entitled “Under The Influence” he is revisiting his roots. The CD is a collection of classic rock covers from the ’70’s featuring hits from iconic bands such as Aerosmith, Queen, and The Police. Applying his dynamic style of sax to songs that influenced his musical upbringing, he particularly targets the songs from his teenage rock band. For those born in the 50’s and 60’s, this CD will be like a trip down memory lane. For everyone else, well… “there is a reason they call it Classic Rock… because almost everyone on the planet knows these songs – they are timeless!”, says Warren. His career spans almost three decades now. Hill’s solo CD’s and collaborations have topped three different charts: Pop, Adult Contemporary and Smooth Jazz, selling over a million copies worldwide, and garnered multiple awards. His incredibly dynamic live show has brought him to over 25 countries performing over 1.500 shows. When he is not recording or touring, Warren and his wife of more than 20 years, Tamara, homeschool their daughter Olivia – also an incredibly talented singer/songwriter with a big music career in the works.
