Album Notes

Kevin was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kevin’s gift is sure. Born the son of a preacher, Kevin like most preachers kids began singing in the choir. While it was a joy for him to sing, one day he heard a saxophone played in church, and from that point on, he was hooked.

Over the years he’s studied some of the top saxophonist in the world, but interestingly has patterned his sound after singers. His style is not Jazz or R&B, but rather it is a smooth, soothing and healing sound, which has been cultivated by his strong Christian faith, church background, and a rich prayer life.

Kevin has worked with or been the opening act for Fred Hammond, Donnie McClurkin, Jonathan Butler, Smokie Norful, Martha Munizzi, Steve Fry, Kirk Whalum, Edwin Hawkins, Vickie Winans, Daryl Coley, and numerous others.

Kevin has played throughout the U.S., at various Christian conventions, workshops, and banquets.

In August of 2003 Kevin was selected as one of the artists to be featured on CD Sampler #14, which was produced by Clear Channel’s jazz powerhouse station in San Francisco, KKSF. The CD that benefits Aids relief, would typically feature only mainstream jazz artists, but this time the door was open for local artists. Kevin’s song “Can I Testify?” was chosen and now stands as just that… a testimony of what God can do?

Kevin has been happily married for over seventeen years to his loving wife Lisa. Kevin says that there is no other place he would rather be outside of heaven, than in her arms. He has been blessed with three wonderful children.

There is no question that this young man is well on his way to becoming one of the top saxophonist of our day. Kevin plays from his heart and it is from his heart that he will… Testify!!!!
