Portland saxophonist Tim Willcox was born in Eugene, OR. Taking up saxophone at the age of eleven, Tim quickly fell in love with jazz music. He was exposed to great jazz recordings by two very inspirational teachers, Carl Woideck and Joe Ingram.Moving to New Jersey in 1994 to attend the internationally acclaimed William Paterson University, Willcox got the chance to study with jazz greats Kenny Burrell, Harold Mabern, Vic Juris, Rufus Reid, Steve Wilson, and John Riley, as well as taking lessons outside of school from Rick Margitza, Lee Konitz, and the NY Philharmonic’s David Demsey.
After graduating in 1998, Willcox moved to New York City where he played with Marc Copland, Jeff Hirschfield, Vic Juris, Reid Anderson, Ben Monder, Matt Penman, Sunna Sunnlaugs, Scott McLemore, John Hebert, Michael Kanan, and Allison Miller.
