Bob Reynolds is a saxophonist, composer, educator, and 3-time Grammy-winning member of Snarky Puppy. Several of his 11 solo albums have made Billboard’s Top 10 Jazz charts. His original music showcases a melodic improvisational style, tuneful songwriting, and, as the LA Times put it, “hip-swiveling” grooves.
Often recognized for his work with Snarky and John Mayer, he’s been a featured soloist with Grammy-winning instrumentalists Larry Carlton, Jeff Lorber, and Chris Botti. He's worked with a wide array of pop artists including Michael Bublé, The 1975, Idina Menzel, Josh Groban, USHER, and others.
Born in Morristown, New Jersey, Reynolds grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, where he started playing saxophone at age 13. Although he listened to a range of music as a kid, by his late teens he was a dedicated jazz student. After high school, he honed his skills at Boston's Berklee College of Music, mentored by George Garzone, Hal Crook, and others.
A pioneer in online music education, Bob founded his innovative Virtual Studio in 2010. Since then he's coached thousands of musicians in over 30 countries. Bob lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children. He shares insights on balancing a music career with raising a family to over 90,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
