Legendary Smooth Jazz Saxophonist Returns With New Studio Album on KOCH Records
"La Dolce Vita" Hits Stores June 24th, 2008

Legendary smooth jazz saxophonist, vocalist,
and talented composer Warren Hill is set to release his 11th studio album,
"La Dolce Vita," on June 24th, 2008. "La Dolce Vita" is Hill's first
studio album since 2005's "PopJazz" and features an amazing cast of
all-stars, including first call bassist Nathan East (Eric Clapton, Phil
Collins, Fourplay), renown guitarists Paul Jackson Jr. (Elton John, Lionel
Richie, Chicago) and Dean Parks (Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon),
drummer extraordinaire Ricky Lawson (Whitney Houston, Al Jarreau, George
Benson), iconic keyboardist Greg Phillingaines (Michael Jackson, Toto,
Quincy Jones) plus KOCH recording artists Jeff Golub and Philippe Saisse.
Born and raised in Canada, Hill actually began studying guitar at age 7. An
insatiable passion for music gained him 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. His
first CD, "Kiss Under the Moon," was released in 1991. He has since gone on
to record innumerable #1 radio chart hits, receive countless industry
awards/accolades and sell over a million albums worldwide.
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.
