Charae Corey Hosey — Smooth Jazz Saxophone New Orleans smooth-jazz saxophonist for weddings, cocktail hours, proposals, corporate events and private celebrations.

I need a safe, clear performance area and practical load-in access. Backing-track or amplified formats require a reliable grounded power source and an agreed sound setup. Outdoor performances require suitable weather protection and a level surface.

Please provide the exact venue or event location, performance and call times, indoor or outdoor setting, available power and sound equipment, parking and load-in details, stairs or elevators, and any venue sound restrictions.

Sound and lighting are not automatically included in the base solo price. The required sound format and any production support are confirmed and quoted for the specific room, audience size and event plan.

Not as part of the base solo-saxophone price. DJ or background-music service can be coordinated as a separate offer when requested and confirmed in the proposal.

I've had the opportunity to perform for the Super Bowl held in New Orleans in 2025.

I especially enjoy weddings, cocktail hours and proposals where live saxophone can shape the atmosphere without taking attention away from the people being celebrated.

My experience includes performing as a saxophonist, leading ensembles and coordinating musicians for weddings, second lines, corporate functions, hospitality events and private celebrations around Greater New Orleans and travel markets.

Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, and Stevie Wonder have influenced me heavily. However, Michael Jackson will always be my favorite. All time greatest song would be Liberian Girl for me

The base service covers up to one performance hour. Arrival and setup time depend on parking, load-in, sound requirements and whether backing tracks are used. Any ceremony cues, coordination window, waiting time or additional sets are confirmed in the quote.

Yes, when the performance area is level and safe and suitable shade or weather protection is provided. Power and sound arrangements must be confirmed for backing-track or amplified performances, along with a weather contingency.

Friendly, punctual, and down to earth.

Yes, with advance notice, when the selection is appropriate for saxophone and the event format. Custom preparation or specially produced tracks may affect the final quote.
