Het own brand of pop- ‘meets-jazz adds a refreshingly unique voice to an exciting new generation of crossover artists who are, like her, powerful instrumentalists as well as thought-provoking singer/songwriters. This Florida-raised, Los Angeles-based performer’s unique hybrid sound—a mix of cool vulnerability and utter convietion—have brought her to the top of her game, She tours with her own band to sold out audiences worldwide, hosts a popular nationally syndicated radio show “Chill with Mindi bait”, and the list of artists she has toured or recorded with are a testament to her talent. They include the Backstreet Boys, Duran Duran, Mandy Moore, Josh Groban, Adam Sandler, Keb’ Mo’, Lalah Hathaway, Lee Ritenout, Teena Marie, Jobn Tesh, Bobby Lyle, Jeff Golub, Jonathan Butler, Peter White and Rick Braun. When asked about their childhoods and musical influences, many artists look back fondly on certain album or song they heard, orcertain moment of epiphany where their future came clear, “Not me,” says Abair, a St, Petersburg, Florida native who spent much of her early life on the road with her father’s band. “Between watching my father onstage and spending time with my grandmother, ‘who was an opera singer, music was always around me. My parents gave in to my constant banging ‘on the piano with lessons at age five, and when I was able to choose a band instrument in fourth grade, [ copied my father and went straight for the saxophone. Music was always my normal. never considered doing anything else. And by the time someone told me it was odd for a girl to play an instrament for a living, thankfully it was too late.” ‘ Her 2003 debut CD, 11 Just Happens That Way, debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard Contemporary Jaz Chart and remained in the Top 10 for 19 consecutive weeks. Billboard magazine named It Just Happens That Way one of the top 10 Contemporary Jazz CDs of the year. Her hit single “Lucy's” was #1 on R&R for a record-breaking eight weeks and Abair was hailed for leading a ew movement in contemporary music. Her 2004 release Come As You Ave debuted at #5 on theBillboard Contemporary Jazz charts. Her 2006 release Life Less Ordinary debuted at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and remained in the Top 20 for 45 weeks. Her songs “True Blue” and “Bloom” hit #1 on R&R. Her 2008 release Stars broke the usual genre barriers, with her single “Stars” charting #29 Adult Contemporary R&R simultaneously with her single “Smile” hitting Top 10 on the R&R Jazz Airplay charts. Mindi Abair has opened for Josh Groban, was a featured performer in the “Women in Jazz” feature at the Grammys, and has appeared up on Panasonic’s Jumbotron in Times Square, the “Drew Carey Show,” HGTV, “Emeril Live,” and onstage with Adam Sandler on his HBO Special and 2008's MTV Movie Awards, backing him up for his Lifetime Achievement Award, Her songs have been featured on everything from the Robin Williams/Mendy Moore movie License to Wed to Aaron Spelling’s hit “Summerland,” Mindi’s recording of her original Christmas song “I Can’t Wait for Christmas” was featured in 2005 on the Bath & Body Works and Pier One Christmas CDs, selling almost one million copies Critical raves have come from the press and artists alike. Josh Groban has commented: “I was fan the moment I saw a tape of one of her concerts. Her ability to connect with the crowd and appeal ‘to jazz fans as well as those who aren't as familiar with her makes her such an exciting artist, and | was thrilled to have her as a guest on my tour” JAZZIZ magazine said “Mindi Abair is #1 for her original sound, perfect melodies, grooves and overall sense of fun.” Blues giant Keb’ Mo” takes it deeper: “She speaks to all of our souls. Do yourself a favor and check out Mindi Abair’s music. You'll be happy you did.’BLOOM ALTO SAX Comroseo sy INO Aani@ NO Martaew Hager Wweeo,| J 22 Gre d Keo E (N08) FA] Gore Parteen Jor Lian emera E (wee) ENO % Getove IN Bass eNtee ENO X O (ues) (ues) No eepear on 0.6, : 6/0} _ Wed A 6 «rR BS 08 UAVERSAL MUIE.CORP, HOT MORE saxOPHONE Wi PARP ENSNG VSI sos Ye See8S HUG corte Bek coe MUSE CoKmaNY [AUPigiS NST MORE SANCPTONE MUS Gartoled and At sterod by ONVEREAL MUS CORR ‘APAGME Resened Used ty PermssionQe-INreo, — Guisie Parreen E (wet) 0.6. nL Coon (COOK Re-Inte0, Enos) Getove IN — 16 4 A Guitae Sou (w) (ue)[ag] SAX SOU ee, Pha oe) ° VAMP ~ AO LIB.
