Composer, arranger, and bandleader Tia Fuller wears a total of six hats in her career in traditional jazz, because she's also an alto saxophonist, a soprano saxophonist, and a flautist. Fuller is surely one of the hottest young lionesses to come along in traditional jazz in the last decade. Based in Jersey City, NJ, she has two albums out under her own name, both for the Mack Avenue Jazz label. Aside from being a major talent who's on the bill at prestigious jazz festivals, she's as academically gifted as she is a talented musician.
