1- Tim Cunningham, Jazz Saxophonist Susan Frances of Jazz Review. Com states: His smooth jazz compositions and liquid saxophone lines were inspired by his feelings toward his family. Songs like “Sadie,” an ode to his young daughter Sadie, and “Wintress,” a tribute to his niece Wintress, are prime selections that show how music can speak with emotional depth...Cunningham has always found strength from his belief in God ever since he was a child growing up in Lansing, Michigan. And, though God has put many obstacles in his life, God has also enabled him to meet many wonderful people to help him overcome those obstacles. One very special person has been his wife, and then there have been the numerous multi-faceted musicians whom he has encountered, like his producer Daron Steward whom Cunningham met when both were attending college--Cunningham at Michigan State University and Steward at Western Michigan University.
