Tom Saviano

 

Tom Saviano is a multi-talented musician, songwriter, arranger and producer who has enjoyed a long, distinguished career as part of the L.A. music scene. Hailing from Chicago, Tom’s father was a gifted trombone player who started him on woodwinds at a very young age and groomed him specifically to be a great studio musician. His early session work as an arranger and musician includes credits for diverse acts such as Melissa Manchester, Peter Criss, Paul Anka, Shirley Bassey, Leo Sayer, Ringo Starr, Brenda Russell and many others. In 1980, Saviano stepped to the forefront as an artist, creating the first of two fantastic albums of sophisticated R&B with his band HEAT. Those releases featured musicians such as David Foster, Steve Porcaro, Harvey Mason, Lenny Castro, Chuck Findley, Jerry Hey and many more. Saviano has also released two smooth jazz solo albums and has enjoyed writing and producing projects for up and coming artists. His resume includes decades of credits, literally hundreds of sessions and occasional tours with collaborators such as Bill Champlin, Earth Wind & Fire, Ziggy Marley, Chicago, Max Weinberg, Maroon 5, Muse and countless others.
