| At the heart of this journey called life is the unyielding quest for self-discovery. Each one of us has our own song and finding the right notes, is what makes this symphony of life sweeter. This eternal mission is often at the heart of a musician’s artistic expression. Top-selling saxophonist Marion Meadows, reflects, “Growing up, I was more of a science kid but when I began to play music, the light bulb went off and there was no turning back. I jumped all the way in.” Thirty-four years since his recording debut as a leader, collaborations with The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, George Benson, and Eartha Kitt, and 17 albums later, Marion’s vision remains sharply focused. “I try and offer a peaceful and loving approach through my music,” shares the strikingly handsome saxman, who is also an accomplished photographer, visual artist, and avid cyclist. “Music is that one gift that enables us to get to a place where we can release the stresses of life and let the music take over. Through an abundance of love, gratitude, and humility, I seek to be a creative person and a good citizen. There are a lot of challenges and uncertainty in the world today, so I just try to stick to the music and art.” Meadows, who studied with iconic heavy-weight saxophonists Joe Henderson, Sonny Fortune, and Dave Liebman, also credits Emmy-winning TV composer Jay Chattaway of Star Trek fame for helping to kick start his career. Chattaway heard him playing the sax while waiting for the train in Grand Central station and later introduced him to Bob James. Although James and Meadows never released an album together, they did record several tracks which Meadows attributes to his foray into contemporary jazz. October 25, 2024, Shanachie Entertainment will release the anticipated Just Doing Me, an inspiring collection of mostly originals that unite Meadows with several great friends, musicians and producers including Chris “Big Dog” Davis, Rahni Song, Wirlie Morris, and Paul Brown, among others. “This album speaks volumes about where I am in my life, which is actually a very good place personally and artistically. I am very happy and 17 albums in, I’m still creating music that I love!”
