*** This week we look at the many ways that a Saxophone can help make your event magical ->
When it comes to Cocktails, Dinner and Dancing, there are few instruments that compliment the moment better than a saxophone. It has an upscale feel, jazzy essence and adds a little bit of magic with every note it plays. And when you are as lucky as we are to be joined by a performer as talented and cool as our own saxophonist Kurt is, the musical possibilities are a rich & soulful delight.
The saxophone is also the best 3rd instrument to add as a Trio when you are looking for a way to add some depth to the band sound without the music becoming loud or overbearing like a dance band might be. The sax has a gentle way of adding texture to the music while still allowing guests freedom to hear each other and chat during cocktail or dinner receptions. This week we had the opportunity to head into our studio and record some fantastic new examples of our saxophonist Kurt in action, performing for you as our LIVE Trio and including some of our favourite classic songs that we often perform together at weddings and events. Feel free to pour yourself a cocktail, relax, and imagine you're at a cocktail party with us right now. And just like at any of our Live Events, feel free to send us a song request for our next video shoot! - BM
