Naim Satya With A Song In My Heart CD

Naim started piano lessons at the age of seven, and at the age of eleven took up the trombone. He became student director of the junior high school band and decided he should know how to play all the band instruments.

He played solo chair trombone in the stage band and recorded his first record from their talent show. He began playing bass in high school and continued playing trombone in school bands and orchestra groups, from dance music to classical venues. He went on to study music formally at Long Beach Jr. College. In the army he committed his study to bass and piano and being stationed in the San Francisco Bay area he was immersed in the wealth of jazz venues available and participated in many jam sections with the city's best.

He became dedicated to Jazz when he heard his first big band music and later when he heard John Coltrane, who became his Mentor. Other influences for Naim were Bobby Darrin, Miles Davis, Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones and James Brown.

In recent years having come back to the art form, he has found joy and pleasure in playing in this trio The Rhythm Section"Space is a rare commodity and it's a shame to always have it filled up with some kind of sound."
