DESCRIPTION:
I am a Florida-based saxophone player that plays in several groups/intrument combinations. One popular configuration is the jazz duo with saxophone and guitar which is ideal for smaller quiter settings and lower budgets. I encourage larger groups such as jazz trios, quartets, and quintet with a jazz vocalist which are available as well.
I also have a band called the Tuesday Night Squad that playes instrumental dance-oriented music such as funk, reggae, soul, and drum and bass, as well as jazz-fusion. This is a five peace group consisting of sax, guitar, organ, bass, and drums and plays a lively mix of origan music and covers ranging from Steve Wonder to Kool and the Gang, to John Scofield and Freddie Hubbard. This group is generally only available as a five piece although in extenuating circumstances the organ can be ommited.
Do not hesitate to contact me if these options don't perfectly suit your needs, as I pride myself in being very musically flexible and can put a group together ranging anywhere from large jazz ensemble to folk trio, to bluegrass, to classical saxophone quartet, to rock and blues band.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
We (and our guests) loved the band. They performed the requested music at the ceremony and reception, and made a special effort to arrive early to rehearse with our ceremony singer/performer. They were professional, yet personalable. I'd highly recommend.
