The Music of Eddie Harris

Tenor saxophonist Kanoa Kaluhiwa’s playing style is agile, powerfully swinging and warm– in three equal parts. Born in Hawaii and growing up in Las Cruces, NM, he began playing professionally while still in high school. He then won a scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston, studying jazz performance and music theory under George Garzone and Joe Viola among others. Kanoa has dedicated his life to education, through private lessons and more than 20 years teaching at the Outpost Performance Space in Albuquerque. One of New Mexico’s most sought after saxophonists, Kanoa performs regularly with the Pat Malone Group and Son Como Son, one of New Mexico’s hottest salsa bands.
