Richard Elliot

Los Angeles based saxophonist and composer Richard Elliot is widely considered one of the architects of urban contemporary jazz. After indulging his lifelong love of funk and R&B as a studio ace and spending five years as a member of Tower of Power, Elliot and his fat reedy tone began braiding soul, funk and hip-hop grooves with smooth jazz on his albums. His chart-topping albums have featured icons like Rick Braun, Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright and has toured with Dave Koz on multiple of occassions.
