Photo of Kenneth Stone Mr Sax Kenneth Stone Mr Sax "Mr. Stone has a gift Mr. Stone has a gift that is God given. He played the saxophone during my Godfather’s memorial and it was beautiful. I wanted something that represented my Godfather, he loved jazz music and Mr. Stone delivered. I selected 1 song and he selected the other “ Jesus is the center of my joy” this was perfect. If you’re looking for a saxophonist I highly recommend Mr. Stone.
