Sal Crocker

Born: October 29

Seleno “Sal” Crocker manages TWO very successful careers during one lifetime. Along with being an award-winning Saxophonist, this artist also serves as a successful major airline pilot for the last 27 years. Yes, Sal has managed to equally master his Mark VI and the Airbus at the same time. Growing up, Sal always had a desire to fly but, once he picked up the saxophone at age 10, he defined his two passions: Flying and the Saxophone. So, instead of choosing one career over the other, he decided to tackle them both, simultaneously. After many years of light musical endeavors, Sal is able to embark on a musical journey as a “full time” professional jazz musician thanks to the support of his beautiful wife, Eurydice, and her kaleidoscopic vision for her husband’s future. Born in New York City October 29, 1965, Sal moved to Memphis at the early age of four
