Do you love jazz music and are planning to organize a jazz concert? Then you must hire a professional saxophonist. An expert saxophonist not merely play the saxophone but give meaning to the jazz music and if one say that saxophone is the soul of jazz music then there would be nothing wrong in it. Without a saxophonist, jazz music will not only become meaningless but it cannot even start as opening of every jazz concert is done by a saxophonist. No wonder they are in huge demand these days and charging a hefty amount for a single concert. But there is a saying that practice makes a men perfect and to become an expert and professional saxophonist one may need years of practice.
Thus be careful when you are hiring a saxophonist as these days there is a saxophonist in every nook and corner. In fact many young saxophonist are there in the market who had just passed out from a music school and think that they have become a professional saxophonist and people also hire them, thinking it would cost them little. But if you have good taste in music and understand the jazz music then you will never hire such saxophonist. Above all, playing a music instrument between your friends and family and giving a live performance are totally two different things. Entertaining a live audience is not an easy job, you have to catch the nerve of your audience and only an expert can do that.
Thus, you should hire a saxophonist who is versatile, have years of experience and can offer a wide variety of entertainment like soft jazz, jazz duo, jazz trio, or a full rhythm section with vocals and should also be able to play different types of jazz like Straight ahead jazz, Smooth jazz, R & B, Funk, Top 40, Soul, Pop and gospel. It would be much preferable to lookout for someone who has played saxophone on various types of occasion like corporate events, engagements, VIP parties, weddings etc. He should be able to perform according to the theme of the occasion as every occasion needs a different treatment. Basically he should not only be a saxophonist but a performer who can perform in front of every type of audience.
In fact it would be much better if the saxophonist have good amount of experience and have worked with some renowned artist of the industry like Antoine Knight who had performed with renowned artists like Jennifer Holiday, and Yolanda Adams.
