KIM RICHMOND is an active and versatile musician based in the Los
Angeles area. His first love is jazz, and his primary jazz voice is
the alto saxophone. He has, however, been involved in nearly every
facet of the professional music industry, both as a player and as a
composer/arranger. His instruments are alto, soprano, tenor and
baritone saxes, clarinet, bass clarinet, and flutes. Kim has been a
member of the orchestras of Stan Kenton, Louis Bellson, Bob Florence,
Bill Holman, and Vinny Golia among others. His own Kim Richmond
Concert Jazz Orchestra is a workshop for his writing, conducting and
leading. His Ensemble (sextet) is a platform for more free-form
expression and improvsation with the members playing and Kim's writing
being the key factors. His current group is The KIM-PROJECT, co-led
with vocalist Kimberly Ford, and is a tribute to the music of Herbie
Hancock and Joni Mitchill.
Kim is also a consummate educator. He was for 12 years an adjunct
professor in the Jazz Studies department of University of Southern
California (teaching combos, composition and saxophone), and does
numerous jazz camps and clinics in the Spring and Summer of each year.
He is on staff at many of the Jim Widner Summer Jazz Camps, and is
involved in running the Northwoods Jazz Camp for grown-ups and the
Santa Barbara Jazz Workshop (with co-director Kimberly Ford). He most
recently was an instructor in the Jazz Department of California
Institute of the Arts, and at California State University, Fullerton.
For many years Kim served as Music Director for Los Angeles Music
Center's Spotlight Awards, where he directed his orchestra and did
arrangements for young students' performances.
Kim is a past-President of ASMAC (American Society of Music Arrangers
and Composers), which provides masterclasses and avenues of learning
for all interested. Whatever his mode of expression, be it
instrumental performance, composition, arranging and conducting, KIM
RICHMOND is striving to express a uniquely original voice, combining
his extensive experience with the new sounds of our evolving musical
world.
Kim is a Selmer artist and endorses all Selmer saxophones and other
woodwinds. He is also a Vandoren artist, and uses Vandoren reeds,
mouthpieces and other accessories. In spite of his busy schedule in
the professional music world, KIM RICHMOND enjoys keeping in touch
with the educational music field by serving as guest lecturer,
conductor and guest soloist at college music festivals and workshops
around the country.
