Contact - Ronald Burris, Jazz Saxophonist
During his 30s, Ron left music and pursued other things. “One could say I had a spiritual awakening.” Ron went back to school and received a master’s degree in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary in 1991 and a Ph.D. in church history in 2002 from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. However, being influenced by his mother and a noted Bay Area musician, John Turk, Ron began playing music again with a passion. That passion culminates in a very cool fashion with the release of his debut self-produced CD, Mr. Cool! A 9-tune set with 7 originals.

Ron received inspiration from his family, as his sister Barbara (Bobbie) sang in the church choir, and his mother would sing hymns daily around the house. “When I say hymns, I mean the slow meter hymns that were sung during the time of slavery.” With a solid background in R&B and sprinkles of gospel, Ron went on to college to major in music at UC Davis. He graduated with a B.A. in music and followed up with a teaching credential from Sonoma State University in 1978. With his teaching credential in tow, Ron taught music in the public school system for 10 years while leading a jazz band that played in Vallejo and the surrounding cities, including San Francisco!
