World-renowned saxophonist, Selmer Artist, and educator Abraham Burton is a prominent figure on the jazz scene, continuing a career that has spanned over three decades.  He re-joined the SJ Family this past summer and over the holidays, and we can’t wait to see and hear what this band brings in March!

Showcased as a soloist on two Grammy award-winning albums, Abraham has performed and recorded with notable contemporaries and legendary jazz artists, including Art Taylor, Jackie McLean, Louis Hayes, Roy Haynes, Rashid Ali, Cindy Blackman, Mulgrew Miller, Roy Hargorve, Christian McBride, Jimmy Smith and Reggie Workman.  As a band leader, Abraham's repertoire includes a vast collection of albums, compositions, and renowned international performances at venues including the North Sea Jazz Festival, Moors Jazz Festival and the Pori Jazz Festival.  As an anchor of the Mingus organization's tenor chair for nearly 30 years, Abraham continues to perform globally with the Mingus Big Band and the Mingus Dynasty.  Off the bandstand, Abraham is a faculty member at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University where his lectures are in high demand.   Abraham devotes much of his time as a clinician, private teacher and advocate of the arts in the development of higher education for the youth.
