“The Best Mouthpieces Ever Made! 'Nuff Said!” “The best mouthpieces ever made! ‘Nuff said!” - Tim Price MADE IN USA “Theo’s products open the door to playing ‘in the zone’ like nothing else!” Tim Price is an internationally recognized artist, author, educator and clinician who has played with ‘everyone’ including Lynyrd Skynyrd. DESIGNED by THEO WANNE Theo Wanne is the world’s foremost expert on the design and manufacturing of saxophone and clarinet mouthpieces. His company is the world leader in quality and innovation. Theo started as an old-fashioned apprentice in 1976 designing and building custom bicycle frames by hand. In 1987 he began travelling the world on a spiritual quest which resulted in graduating from the Naropa Institute in 1997 with a degree in ‘Musical Improvisation as a Spiritual Path’. During his time at Naropa Theo bought and sold vintage instruments and mouthpieces as well as refaced mouthpieces under the tutelage of Bob Carpenter. In 1998 he moved to Philadelphia, PA, displaying his mouthpieces and refacing work, as well as doing saxophone repair, at the shop of master instrument repairman, Bret Gustafson. However, the demand for his mouthpieces quickly got overwhelming so Theo started his own company Saxophone Mouthpiece Heaven, which quickly became the world’s most comprehensive resource on the design and history of saxophone mouthpieces. Much of this knowledge is still available on Theo’s new website www.theowanne.com. The world’s top musicians such as Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Eric Alexander, Jan Garbarek, Tim Price, and many more came to work with Theo as word of his master craftsmanship spread. In 2007, Theo started manufacturing his own line of mouthpieces and saxophones based upon the demands and feedback of his many famous clients. Theo utilized the most sophisticated design and manufacturing techniques on the planet to accurately and consistently reproduce these designs. Theo continues to work with many of the world’s top musicians such as Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright, Nelson Rangell and George Young continually improving his product. Theo’s job is to make products that allow the musician to easily access their creative genius and passion! He believes when musician shares their genius and passion they are providing a much needed service to the world! “Theo is a master craftsman and creative genius.

    November 20, 2015 Media Contact: Savannah Whaley Pierson Grant Public Relations 954-776-1999 ext. 225 Jan Goodheart, Broward Center 954-765-5814 A PETER WHITE CHRISTMAS WITH RICK BRAUN AND MINDI ABAIR BRINGS THE SOUNDS OF THE SEASON TO PARKER PLAYHOUSE FORT LAUDERDALE – Celebrate the holidays with A Peter White Christmas with Rick Braun and Mindi Abair at Parker Playhouse on Saturday, December 12 at 8 p.m. One of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists, White leads the contemporary jazz lineup in this seasonal concert combining smooth jazz cheer with traditional Christmas classics such as “White Christmas” and “Silent Night,” plus a few surprises along the way. White launched his career as a keyboardist touring with Al Stewart and worked with him in the studio on the classic album Year of the Cat. The tour and that album marked the beginning of a 20-year association with Stewart. During that time, the two musicians co-wrote numerous songs, including Stewart’s 1978 hit, “Time Passages.” After years as a backup musician and a session player, White launched his solo recording career and his annual Christmas tour is fueled by the success of his two highly regarded holiday albums, Songs of the Season (1997) and A Peter White Christmas (2007). Braun adds his stylistically eclectic trumpeting to the mix. A consistent chart-topper who has amassed a catalogue of #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and radio hits throughout his solo career, Braun has also produced #1 hits for David Benoit, Marc Antoine and former Rod Stewart band sidekick Jeff Golub.

  • Uncork the Blues: Mindi Abair's CD Release Is a Toast to Spring
    Uncork The Blues: Mindi Abair's CD Release is a Toast to Spring By Lynn Orman Weiss Combining blues and booze is like spring and flowers – they bring happiness and joy to the soul. During the pandemic, Can't Stop The Blues Livestream brought together a beautiful community by producing concerts featuring artists from around the world with audiences watching worldwide. The broadcasts into our homes, along with pre-show and post-show "meet & greets" in real time, has kept blues lovers sane. Tuesday night's show, Mindi Abair's Wine + Music Sessions was addictive – it's one of the CSTB’s that’s hard to miss – or if you miss any of it you want to go back and watch it again. The best part is uncorking a bottle of wine and chillaxing on Mindi's Hollywood backporch with her A-list guests. Guests have included, Rick Estrin, Rick Braun, Melanie Taylor (Aerosmith), Peter White, Casey Abrams, Patrick Bradley and most recently, rockantaur Bill Champlin. "Good Day For The Blues" is the mantra for Mindi Abair and The Boneshakers and they’ll have a good day April 9th when they do their first livestream, full-band concert at 5pm PDT on Alert The Globe to celebrate her new release, The Best of Mindi Abair. Mindi will be playing her biggest hits including the debut of her brand new single, "April," all part of the 19-song collection. Adding a sweet note to Mindi's performances is the PSA, "Drinking with Eric," an intermission about the wine and her charitable endeavor.
