“Much More Than Music, It’s Music For The Cause”™
Los Angeles native, Cecilia "Cece" Worrall has been playing woodwinds since the age of 10 and won the coveted John Phillip Sousa Award during her senior year in high school. A roster of prominent Los Angeles studio musicians provided private instruction and mentorship, including Stan Seckler, Phil Sobel, Charlie Shoemaker, Dave Boruff and Bob Sheppard. Early live performances with the Davi li, Love li Orchestra placed among the ranks of great musicians such as Fred Wesley, Nolan Smith, Ray Brown and Will Miller. Cece experience encompasses an eclectic mix of musical styles from hard rock on the Guns & Roses World Tour, new age with John Tesh, African/Congo with Bateke Beat, New Orleans with Chuck E. Weiss and R & B with The Four Tops, the Temptations, the Fifth Dimension and others. Lenny Kravitz, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones, and Soundgarden and Elton John are among the great performers who she has performed with on the MTV Award's Show. Always one to take it to the max, one of Cece's early recording experiences involved working on two major recording projects simultaneously, one with The Daisy's, an all female group produced by Morris Day and the other on Randy Jackson's, "Randy & the Gypsys" solo album. Cece's was a member of last season's improvisation band for the comedians on Drew Carey's "Whose Line is it Anyway?" television series. She stays busy to the delight of audiences who have savored the wonderful flavor of jazz served by the "Cece Worall Jazz Quartet."
