I have a great sound on sax having relatively recently found my real voice with the instrument after playing guitar for many years. I don't play much guitar now but can double if rqd.

Looking to spend more time playing music with a band/ solo artist or recording now kids are a little more grown up. Anything with a groove is good: Jazz / Funk / Soul / R&B / Ska / Reggae / Rock. I like to do ambient / lounge / experimental styles also.
I write a bit, play by ear a lot, but can read and learn parts if rqd. If you have recordings I can add a demo some solos in my home studio for you to check out.

I have a friend who plays trombone too, so we are nearly a horn section! Hearing is believing - give us a shout if you are looking for that special something to give some energy and lift to your sound!
