Wedding Singers in SeattleRates for saxophonists in Seattle run from $170 to $1,200+, with typical bookings around $470. Check what the figure covers before comparing quotes: PA and setup are usually included, travel may or may not be, and an overtime rate for running past the agreed finish is worth agreeing in writing rather than on the night. Most acts take a deposit to hold the date, with the balance due close to the event, and short notice tends to cost more rather than less, since a free Saturday in peak season is a date someone else has already turned down.

The Booker T Cookbook
"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."
Paul Wainwright
"We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Paul Wainright for our business grand opening in Victoria, BC, and he absolutely blew everyone away!
From the moment Paul started playing, it was clear we were in the presence of exceptional talent. His saxophone skills are world-class — smooth, soulful, and incredibly dynamic. Whether he was delivering silky smooth jazz standards, upbeat contemporary hits, or energetic dance numbers, Paul's playing was flawless and perfectly suited to every moment of the event.
What truly sets Paul apart is his incredible vocal ability and the impressive diversity of his musical repertoire. He seamlessly transitions between genres, keeping the energy high and the crowd fully engaged throughout the entire evening. His solo performances are captivating and intimate, while his collaborative moments (when he brought in backing tracks or interacted with the guests) felt electric and professional.
Paul is not only an amazingly talented musician but also a true professional - punctual, personable, and genuinely invested in making our grand opening a memorable success. He read the room perfectly and adapted his set on the fly to keep the vibe exactly where we wanted it.
If you're looking for a saxophonist musician (or vocalist) in Victoria, BC who can elevate any event with top-tier musicianship, incredible range, and pure stage presence, look no further than Paul Wainright. We couldn't recommend him more highly - he was the highlight of our grand opening and helped make it an unforgettable night!
Thank you, Paul!"
