You might know her as the featured saxophonist on American Idol, sitting in with Paul Shaffer on The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, or from moonlighting on tour with Duran Duran or Aerosmith. In 2014, Mindi received her first GRAMMY® Award Nomination in the "Best Pop Instrumental Album" category for 'Summer Horns' with Dave Koz, Richard Elliot and Gerald Albright, followed by a 2015 GRAMMY® Nomination for "Best Contemporary Instrumental Album" for her solo LP 'Wild Heart' featuring the late Gregg Allman, Joe Perry, Trombone Shorty, Booker T. Jones, Keb' Mo', and Max Weinberg.
"Combine Cannonball Adderley with Clarence Clemons, pour in a large beaker of R&B, garnish with eye-grabbing stagecraft, and you have the essential ingredients of a performance by Mindi Abair," says JAZZ TIMES. "She gained national recognition for her incendiary saxophone style..." raves ROCK & BLUES MUSE.
2x-GRAMMY® Nominated Saxophonist & Vocalist MINDI ABAIR is one of the most recognized and sought-after saxophonists/vocalists in the music industry. Abair has been electrifying audiences with her dynamic live performances and utter command of the saxophone since her debut album in 1999. No one since Junior Walker has brought saxophone & vocals in one package to the forefront of modern music, along with a raucous tone & dynamic stage presence!
Mindi's solo works have sold over half a million albums, garnered numerous #1 Radio Hits, and consistently topped both the Billboard Contemporary Jazz and Blues Charts. She has had a remarkable recording career, recording with some of the biggest names in music, and has built a global following among jazz & blues audiences with her soaring melodies and powerhouse style.
In 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022 Mindi was Nominated for "Horn Player of the Year" at the Blues Music Awards. "Mindi Abair has rocked the jazz scene..." raves ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
