Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Aaron Bing (born Aaron Jaye Bing), is an American adult contemporary and smooth jazz saxophonist. Bing may actually be known to many as the artist who appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to be recognized for his part in a Guinness World Record challenge. His feat, Holding a note for 39 minutes and 40 seconds! Although that did not beat the Kenny G record of 45 minutes, 47 seconds, it certainly goes down as a monumental accomplishment.

Early life
Aaron Bing was born in Miami, Florida to an African-American mother and a Dominican father. Bing never got a chance to meet or see his father. His mother, an elementary school teacher in Miami at the time of Aaron's birth, moved to Jacksonville, Florida to live with her mother after suffering hard times in Miami. A few years after the move, Bing's mother disappeared and left him with his grandmother. At age 10, While living with his grandmother, Bing came into contact with his aunt's old wooden clarinet playing under his grandmother's bed. Confused as to what the instrument was, but interested in learning how to play, Bing took the clarinet to school with him the first day of his seventh grade year. That school year he attended Mathew W. Gilbert 7th Grade Center. Even though the clarinet was old and broken, he managed to still learn how to play the song Marry Had A Little Lamb on the same day it was taught. Soon after, the clarinet needed repair, but his grandmother was poor and couldn't afford the repair; instead, he played the school band's bass clarinet. Bing was a quiet, shy kid in school who kept to himself, but found a love for music at an early age. During his 7th and 8th grade year Bing learned how to play other instruments such as the French Horn, Baritone, Piano and Percussion. In addition to his studies while in middle school his 8th grade year, he took private lessons on the french horn twice a week after school. Bing came in contact with the saxophone in the 9th grade after hearing a Kenny G song at a friend's house. Taking the basics of what he had already learned from other instruments, he taught himself how to play the saxophone and by practicing along with records (mostly of Kenny G and Grover Washington, Jr.) His first saxophone was a Yamaha YAS23 alto.
