 ely jazz and exotica, began at age 4, when he learned to work his pare
 nts’ record player. His favorite records were by Wes Montgomery, Ahm
 ad Jamal, Bill Evans, and Martin Denny. He started playing saxophone w
 hen he was ten, and began learning jazz at Florida State University’
 s Summer Music Camp in 1980, where he found himself studying with many
  young and talented musicians including Marcus Roberts. In December of
  1990, Tim began what was to be a three-year stint working aboard the 
 cruise ships. This provided him with the opportunity to study a variet
 y of styles and play in big bands that accompanied entertainers Al Mar
 tino, Vic Damone, Diahann Carrol, Bobby Rydell, Connie Stevens, Jack J
 ones, and many others. In September of 1993, Tim attended Berklee Coll
 ege of Music in Boston where he studied privately with Andy McGhee, Ge
 orge Garzone, and Bill Pierce. In 1998, Tim opened for Chucho Valdez a
 t the Baranqui Jazz Festival in Baranquilla, Columbia. In February of 
 2003, he performed and recorded with the RG Jazz Orchestra in Tenerife
 , in the Canary Islands of Spain. That same year, he partook in the 4t
 h Seminar and Jazz Festival in Jalapa, Mexico as a performer and clini
 cian. Tim has performed locally with visiting artists John Faddis, Bob
  Mintzer, Marvin Stamm, Arturo Sandoval, Nick Brignola Bobby Shew, and
  Ed Calle, percussionists Eguie Castrillo, Horacio “El Negro” Hern
 andez, and Giovanni Hidalgo; trombone greats Phil Wilson and Slide Ham
 pton, and pianists Kirk Lightsey (in Seville), and Danilo Perez. Tim M
 ayer and Rusty Scott have collaborated to perform a tribute to the Tou
 gh Tenors (Johnny Griffin/Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis) and the Boss Teno
 rs (Sonny Stitt/Gene Ammons), which has featured on different occasion
 s as special guests Bill Pierce or Andy McGhee. In 2007, and 2008, Wai
 tiki won consecutive Hawaii Music Awards for three consecutive release
 s, Charred Mammal Flesh, Rendezvous In Okonkuluku, and in 2009, Paradi
 se Lost And Found, which was produced by Jim Beloff featuring the arra
 nging and instrumental talents of Waitiki, is nominated for the award.
  2009 has also seen a Grammy nomination for another group with which T
 im has been affiliated for a long time. La Clave Secreta, the Timba Sa
 lsa brainchild of pianist/arranger Gonzalo Grau, was nominated for Bes
 t Latin/Caribbean Album. While it didn’t win, losing to Jose Felicia
 no is hardly a disappointment. Since 2001, he has been on the Berklee 
 faculty teaching at the Saxophone Weekend, the Five-Week Program, Berk
 lee’s City Music Saturday School and as Outreach faculty at Boston A
 rts Academy, and filling in for various faculty members during the yea
 r.\n\nFor more information visit http://neighborsforneighbors.org/even
