Saxgourmet Endorsing Artist Tom Scott is pictured above with his new Saxgourmet Saxello soprano with sterling silver bell and necks. Tom is the MOST recorded saxophone player of all time, and a multiple Grammy award winner. Tom is also my hero, and has been since my high school days. He's a great guy, and Sharon and I are very proud that he chooses to play Saxgourmet alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones EXCLUSIVELY. Tom has represented our Saxgourmet brand for six years now, and has won many friends for us. Remember, Tom could choose any horn in the world. Any company would do anything to have his endorsement and blessing. Tom Scottchoosesto play Saxgourmet.
Here's the basic stuff you've come to expect:
I'm 60 years old, hold a bachelors degree and a MBA, am happily married to a six foot tall redhead (I always wanted a six foot tall redhead to call my own...), started playing saxophone professionally at age 13 and have pretty much been everywhere but the electric chair and seen everything but the wind at one time or another. I spend most of every day designing saxophones, mouthpieces, necks, and other accessories and overseeing production for Saxgourmet Products. I maintain a studio of about 15 students because I love teaching. I retired from playing gigs in 2004 for reasons of health, although I still very much enjoy the life of a retired rock star and insist on being treated as such.
I continue to live in New Orleans because I love it here.
My non-musical interests include (but are not limited to) gentlemen's clubs, southern culture, politics, carnivorous plants, and the restoration of the House of Stuart. I am currently learning to speak Chinese, and am an enthusiastic follower of the teachings of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. I try to live by our company motto: Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc
