Saxophonist Tia Fuller is an expressive, forward-thinking musician with a bent toward soulful, expansive jazz. She emerged in the early 2000s leading own projects, and gained wider recognition backing singer Beyoncé on tour. Adept on both alto and soprano sax, as well as flute, Fuller has released a handful of well-received albums for Mack Avenue, including 2007's Healing Space and 2012's Angelic Warrior, which showcase her harmonically nuanced compositions and vibrant take on post-bop jazz.
