INSTRUMENTAL JAZZ FOR THE OPEN ROAD

Multi-reed player/saxophonist Denis Solee has lived and worked in Nashville since 1974. Interested and skilled in all types of music, he has played in military bands, symphony orchestras, Broadway shows, big bands, and small groups. He has appeared on radio, TV, films, and recordings for artists from Ray Stevens to Ray Charles; Mel Tillis to Mel Torme; Louis Bellson, Sammy Davis, Jr., Sarah Vaughn, Amy Grant, Liberace, Aretha Franklin…and the list goes on. While he makes a living playing virtually all types of music, Denis in the last few years has focused more on his major interest: big bands and small jazz ensembles. He is a resident instructor of jazz ensembles and sax at The Nashville Jazz Workshop. His recording of the famed Sinatra song, ‘New York, New York’, was the main title song for the 2013 Academy Award nominated documentary short, REDEMPTION. Trav’lin Light marks Denis’ 5th artist release on the Green Hill label.
