Saxton has toured with the US State Department extensively in West Africa. He went on to play across Europe and into Japan and the Caribbean. Among his many honors and accolades, Saxton was honored by the White House during Black Music Month, the Harlem Jazz Museum has featured his life, and The Library of Music at New York’s Lincoln Center housed his induction as a Jazz Legend. Bill rejuvenated a historical jazz landmark when he opened “Bill’s Place” in 2006.
