Jazz Saxophonist Kevin Pike
Kevin Pike has been performing alto saxophone since he was ten. In high school, he was a member of the All-State Jazz Band, the All-New England Concert Band, and the All-Eastern Seaboard Concert Band.
After graduating from DePaul University with a major in jazz studies, Kevin joined the house band at Chicago’s Navy Pier. Two years later, he created Kevin Pike Music, Inc., his personal record label and music production company. Since then, Kevin has released a dozen albums and composed music for television, film, and podcasts. |
| As a recording artist, Kevin has pioneered a singular approach. Using a self-developed musical notation system and a digital recording process in which he performs each part himself, Kevin has produced a unique body of work that varies in style from jazz to funk to classical. He has also taught himself to play and record guitar, mandolin, banjo, drums and keyboard, and is known for his experimental use of unlikely instruments such as typewriters, ping pong balls, rubber bands, and other household items. |

Kevin currently lives with his wife and two children in Omaha, Nebraska. His jazz performances can be heard frequently at venues throughout the city and have been highlighted by National Public Radio’s All Things Considered.
