It depends on what you are after for your event. Perhaps you are after a light touch of unaccompanied jazz, or even classical music, then a solo saxophonist would be perfect. But if you would like something a beat more upbeat; saxophonist can usually provide high-quality backing tracks to play over from just any genre, keeping the atmosphere lively and energetic. In addition, the combination of DJ and sax, or even DJ, sax and percussion is fast becoming a must-have when you really want to create a party atmosphere. Any of these can create an unforgettable atmosphere at any party or event and our Orange County saxophone player, Jason can play in any of these.
Typically, the best time for saxophonists to perform is in the afternoon, or evening, when your guests are beginning to relax, or just about ready to dance! Saxophonists are excellent at providing smooth background music for a cocktail reception, or alternatively, bringing their magic to the dance floor. They can also serenade your guests during the cocktail reception with backing tracks or as a solo instrument.
The saxophone is a versatile instrument and can therefore be used as part of various musical styles, from pop covers and classical music, to swinging jazz and nostalgic blues music. Although a saxophonist is adaptable to many styles, ultimately, we recommend going for a saxophonist who mainly focuses on the music that you have in mind for the party. Live saxophone music has a certain unique energy to it and booking a saxophonist ensures that your guests will be presented with a memorable performance.
A saxophonist must have enough room to move around comfortably, especially if you want them to bring a little energy into the music. Our musicians usually bring their own sound system and sheet music. In terms of other equipment, they usually need an amplifier or other electronic equipment which they also provide. Although our musicians usually have it all, it is still a good idea to communicate with us, especially with our saxophonists to go through what is necessary or whether you have to take care of something yourself.
