Seattle-born Aaron Heick is currently a freelance saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist living in New York City. He became a long-time member of R&B diva Chaka Khan's touring band, following what was to be a one-time recording session. Over the past 20 years, Aaron has also worked with a diverse group of artists including Paul Simon, Suzanne Vega, Aretha Franklin, Carly Simon, Frank Sinatra, Donald Fagen, Vonda Shepard, Cyndi Lauper, Ben E. King, Bobby Caldwell, Vanessa Williams, Manhattan Transfer, Steps Ahead, Jim Beard, Dennis Chambers, Grover Washington Jr. and Ray Baretto. Saxophonist Aaron Heick has immersed himself in a musical community as diverse as the City of New York itself. In addition to his eight-year association with Chaka Khan, he has maintained a role as an active member of the New York studio scene. Between his frequent tours to Europe and Japan, Aaron Heick also finds time to sub regularly on Broadway. It seems there is no one specific definition for Aaron Heick's work as a saxophone player. His musical pursuits are as varied as his interests. The one constant in his musical life is the saxophone. http://www.mymusicbase.ru/PPB/ppb40/Bio_4076.htm

17 years it is the age when one dreams and hopes that one day their dreams come true, and this is what happened to the American saxophonist, residing for almost 30 years in the beautiful country, and currently splits most of his time between Rome and London, maintaining intense activity in both musical circles of the two capitals.
Today, after 35 years of international success, 9 CDs as a leader and sideman made by almost 200, and backed by collaborations with artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Sarah Jane Morris, Mike Stern, the Orchestra della Scala, and countless other musicians Americans and Europeans, the seventeen year old boy with long hair and disheveled, now at the height of his artistic maturity, wanted to return to New York, his hometown, to record his new music with a stellar cast of jazz musicians .
Sweet 17, like all the cd of the saxophonist / composer, leaves ample room for melodic beauty and expressiveness, and proposes compositions more dynamic, modern and evolved so far that Rosen has written, reflecting all the experience gained from the late 80s to date, and also thanks to the great musicians who have chosen this trip: Lage Lund on guitar, Ralph Alessi on trumpet, Domenico Sanna on the ground, Matt Penman on bass and Bill Stewart on drums. ~automatic translation.
