07/21/2005: "Introducing Andre Delano"

7th Note Entertainment is pleased to introduce you to sultry, smooth jazz saxophonist Andre Delano.

Andre's musical journey began in elementary school when his parents went into debt to buy his first saxophone. They provided Andre with emotional support and encouragement while he received his formal training at East St. Louis' prestigious Lincoln High School, the alma mater of legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis.

By the time Andre turned eighteen, he had more credentials on his resume than most seasoned musicians and had performed with numerous well-known artists including Wynton Marsalis, Clark Terry and Bucky Green.

Andre moved to Los Angeles where he quickly landed work recording and touring with Stevie Wonder, Maxwell, Jeff Lorber, Chielli Minucci, Doc Powell, and Bobby Lyle. His touring schedule took him around the world - to Russia, Denmark, Finland, London, Japan, Sweden, and Holland. He also performed with Maxwell on The Late Show With David Letterman, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Show Time At The Apollo, Soul Train, as well as cable music channels BET, MTV, and VH1.

While on tour, Andre received critical acclaim from the Los Angeles Times, L.A. Weekly and Rolling Stone magazine. The Los Angeles Times raved that Andre, "Plays with a flair and inventiveness...He is clearly ready for his own solo career." So, after years of recording and touring with other acts, Andre felt it was time to work on a solo project, appropriately entitled "Full Circle."

"Full Circle" reflects a diverse smooth jazz mixture that illustrates his amazing musical journey. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride as Andre takes you "Full Circle."
