EJ Solo Sax Saxophonist from Sacramento, CA

As a lead Big Band Sax/Flute/Clarinetist I've played dozens of celebrations for 18-piece big bands, marching bands, rock n' roll, and dixieland bands over the last 20 years. Sometimes, both the venue and the budget call for something smaller and less expensive. To meet this need, I started providing solo instrumentals with recorded backing tracks. Depending on the situation and the ambiance, I can provide smooth jazz saxophone playing tunes such as Winelight, Smooth Operator, Moondance, Impressions, Satin Doll, Morning Dance, or Coming Home Baby. Recently I was asked to do an all-Motown event, featuring Dancing in the Street, Superstition, All in Love is Fair, When a Man Loves a Woman, Heard it through the Grapevine and Knock on Wood. I LOVE latin and bossa nova and have a great collection for Flute with backing tracks including Girl from Ipanema, Manha de Carnaval, Bim Bom, Summer Samba, Gentle Rain, La Bamba, Agua de Beber, Corcovado and more. For the swing crowd I can't wait to break out the licorice stick to play Django Reinhardt (Menilmontant, Gypsy Swing, Swing 42, Sous le Ciel de Paris, Petit Fleur), Dixieland (All of me, Ace in the Hole, St. James Infirmary, Saints, Creole Love Call) or even big band swing (In the Mood, Tuxedo Junction, Sentimental Journey, Moonglow, Perdido, Little Brown Jug etc.). By the way, I can hardly wait for someone to ask me for some hard rock. Flute through a stomp box with a bit of distortion on Locomotive Breath, White Room or Josie is awesome. Recorded tracks are played through a portable PA system with great speakers and projection for a room of 100 or so. Just the thing for a winery, wedding cocktails, quiet dinner party, or river cruise.
