An insatiable passion for music gained Warren Hill early recognition as a true virtuoso and lead to his fronting various Toronto high school rock bands as a multi instrumentalist as well as a singer/guitarist. Expanding his musical horizons and satisfying a growing passion for saxophone eventually landed him a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music, where his graduation performance attracted the attention of legendary record producer Russ Titleman. At Titleman’s urging Hill moved to Los Angeles, immersed himself in the local music scene and an RCA record deal soon followed. Revered among industry insiders as an artist whose records have consistently repositioned the musical target, Hill’s career truly has been one of the most successful and critically acclaimed in the history of Contemporary Jazz. Fans and newcomers alike will not be disappointed with La Dolce Vita as it blends the sultry and soulful with the rhythmic and funky in such a unique way, that this collection seems destined to again push the bar of Contemporary Jazz more than a bit higher.
