Saxophonist, composer, arranger, and educator John Savage presents his second solo outing, "Through It All".

Based in Upstate New York, John has been performing for almost 20 years, having worked as a sideman/arranger in many area horn bands, jazz groups, and rock bands and as a session player on a variety of projects and musical styles. He has performed with Ben E. King, The Drifters and backed jazz greats Bob Mintzer (Yellowjackets), Jeff Jarvis, Chris Vadala, and Bill Cunliffe.

Earning a B.S. in Music Education and a M.A. in Jazz Studies (both from The College of Saint Rose in Albany NY), John has been an avid music educator for over 10 years. He is the instrumental music director at Gloversville High School (Gloversville NY) and spends his summers teaching a summer jazz enrichment program for jr. and sr. high students at the College of Saint Rose.

"Through It All" not only features John's abilities as a sax player and songwriter but has some extraordinary guitar work from seasoned guitarist Joe Sange
