Summary

As Tina Turner toured and performed, she introduced us to a golden gem of a saxophone player by the name of Tim… Timmy to his friends. From there Tim went on to Miami Vice, Hearts of Fire, Tap, all types of opportunities to perform and act. But one decision defined him for generations to come. In 1987 Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys gave the world it’s first broad taste of the greased up shirtless muscular saxophone player known to all of us as sexy sax man. Often imitated never duplicated Tim Cappello set the stage for what would be an ongoing persona of what a saxophone player is and what a saxophone player should be. Lisa Simpson, Kenny G, Bill Clinton all did their best. But when we think of saxophone, we only think of one man. Today on Buzzn The Tower we are honored to have the opportunity to sit down with the man, the myth, the legend himself, Tim Cappello, and talk everything from Tina Turner to the time he was almost in Point Break! I’m Mo Shapiro and joining me for the first time, the Rockstar to my boardwalk beach bonfire, Tim Cappello. And with that, oh and I guess Max Sanders is here to, I STILL BELIEVE!
