Norman Salant is a songwriter, singer, saxophonist, composer and martini-maker extraordinaire based in New York City. For the past few years he has focused primarily on songwriting, guitar playing and singing with all their euphorias and discontents, while the saxophone part of his music-making has been on hiatus. The martini-making rears its happy head with regularity at Salon parties that take place in a NoChe loft. He performs in public rarely, meanwhile building up a legion of followers and unique catalog of songs rivaled by few artists, past or present.

A full-fledged return to the public arena may or may not materialize, but the songs invariably trickle out here and there. As for the earlier saxophone/compositional work, that part of the website equation is still being developed, but the idea is to make it all available soon, with pictures and music and press and the whole ecstatilogical story. So stay tuned and feel free to check back later. Oh, and the image you see on the right was shot by Carrie Lynn in NYC in March 2006. Regards to all! Be seeing you!
