Born in New York City, Mimi Fox started playing drums at 9, and guitar at age 10. She was inspired by the wide variety of music enjoyed by her family -- show tunes, classical, Dixieland, Motown -- and her own youthful inclination toward pop, folk, and R&B. When she was 14, she bought her first jazz album "because it was on sale." That album, John Coltrane's classic Giant Steps, changed the course of her musical life. Fox moved to San Francisco in 1979, where she became a much sought-after musician. She is on the faculty of the innovative jazz school in Berkeley, California. She has received numerous awards for her original scores for dance, theatre and film. Her recording Standards is a solo guitar tour de force, says Cadence Magazine. Mimi Fox is a compelling musician, prolific composer, talented arranger, inspired teacher, and dynamic leader.
