Jazz saxophone player Francis Vanek originally hails from Pittsburg, PA, where he attended Duquesne University. Later on he played in bands with Roger Humphries and J.C. Moses and studied with the great Carl Arter. His early influence was Stanley Turrentine. He holds a masters degree in music from University of Nevada, Reno, where he was a full time faculty member. While in Reno, Vanek shared the bandstand with such saxophone stalwarts as Ernie Watts, Tom Scott, David Leibman and Eddie Daniels. His smooth sound was noticed by Jesse Hamlin of the SF Chronicle, who said of him, “…a superb saxophonist.” He currently lives in Fort Bragg, CA, and plays all around Northern California including the Bay Area.
