A recent Bay Area, transplant, saxophonist Tom Catanzaro is a dynamic and versatile musician. In the early 2000s, Tom honed his craft in New York City, studying with Bob Mintzer on a full scholarship to Manhattan School of Music and playing with and learning from artists such as Roy Hargrove, Eric Lewis (ELEW), Robert Glasper, and Ambrose Akinmusire.
Upon returning to California, Tom toured with the Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, performing with artists such as Diana Krall, Al Jarreau, Michael Brecker, George Benson, Christian McBride, Dianne Reeves, Peter Martin, and Liza Minelli, to name a few.
