Tom Borton (2)

As a Contemporary Jazz Saxophone player, Tom began playing in his native Indiana at age 7 and never looked back. While studying classical saxophone in his school years, he also launched several successful bands in high school and college. His high school R&B/Funk band consisted of Kenneth Edmonds (aka Babyface), Daryl Simmons and drummer Rayford Griffin. His next youthful adventure was a fusion band with guitarist David Grissom and drummer Kenny Aronoff. Moving to LA in 1981, Tom became part of the session player scene and found his talent as a composer. Soon after, Tom landed his first recording deal as a solo artist and his debut album shot to number one on radio airplay all across the nation. Extensive performances at national jazz festivals and clubs soon followed. Tom was also founder and CEO of Los Angeles Post Music, Inc, a production music library that provides music for a list of clients including television shows and advertising clients. He passed away July 2011.
