Review Centre: Saxophone Players

"Damon was amazing! Our attendees loved him... His music was just the right vibe to usher our attendees into our conference for the week. He was very professional from the contracting stage to delivering an outstanding performance! There's no doubt that we would contract with Damon for future events!"

"We organized my brother's 40th birthday on Friday August 12, 2022 in Grasse on the french riviera. Passionate about the saxophone, I therefore contacted saxophonists and I agreed with Jérôme to play throughout the reception cocktail for our guests... My brother who loves electro music, so I asked Jérôme for this very modern musical style... All my guests loved it because Jérôme and not only a very good musician, but also with an excellent personality, he played in the middle of guests and the atmosphere was magical."

"Luigi è stato fantastico dal primo contatto (un anno prima del matrimonio), il giorno del matrimonio è stato chirurgico, nonostante alcuni problemi di logistica dovuti alla location lui ha sempre trasmesso tranquillità e è riuscito a sistemare le sue postazioni in tempo perfetto per la cerimonia e la festa! Personalmente è stato carinissimo e attento alle nostre necessità. L’abbiamo trattenuto più a lungo e per un prezzo minimo è stato con noi fino alle 3.30/4 (nonostante fosse ad un paio d’ore da casa). Siamo stati contentissimi come tutti i nostri invitati. Grazie Luigi! P.s.: contattatelo per tempo"

"We could not have been happier with Jeffrey's performance and service. He communicated well in the lead up to the event. He was punctual and set up efficiently and discreetly. His performance was fantastic and he played exactly the type of music we had discussed prior to the event. Often corporate events can be quite dry and he added some much needed atmosphere to our event. Many guests commented that they had enjoyed the music. Additionally, Jeffrey was very understanding when our start time was delayed slightly. Overall he was an absolute pleasure to work with and I hope to hire him for future events."

"I write to confirm that the above mentioned singing duo were requested to perform at the "Queen's birthday party, British Embassy, Doha, State of Qatar, Arabian Gulf on 15th April 1997 for approximately 700 guests. Their choice of music and performance was very much appreciated by all the guests and a splendid evening was had by all. I would highly recommend them and would have no hesitation requesting their services for any future events at the the British Embassy whether official as above or a private function."

"Ferdy was the absolute best!!!!!! He was such a highlight during our cocktail hour - our guests were simply amazed by his talent and professionalism. He even sang a bit for us! His music added the perfect ambiance to our Italian dream wedding and it was a pleasure to have him play for us. I also appreciated how he sent me a set list a few weeks before the wedding so we could narrow down my exact vibe, he was super accommodating. I highly recommend Ferdy for any special event! :) "

"All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins. In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time). Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension. Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo. Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn. "

"I surely recommend Tal Saxophone. Tal is an extraordinary talented Saxophone player and you're getting a real party with him. He played for us at a museum ambiance and the acoustics were great! Because the museum has several rooms, Tal could walk from room to room so all our guests could enjoy his music. Thank you Tal!"
