Sax player, coming soon to Philadelphia

Philadelphia PA

Description

Hey, I'm moving to the Philly area soon and am looking to connect and gig. I play alto, tenor, and bari saxes and can double on flute and clarinet. I've been playing sax for 30 years, professionally for 20. I'm 46 and have pro gear/attitude/expectations. I have a degree in music and ten years of experience teaching private lessons. I can improvise, play by ear, and sight read very well. Music has been my full-time gig for the last ten years. Looking to build connections and start gigging in Philly as quickly as possible. I have played it all. If there's a style that you can imagine uses a sax I have likely done it, toured with it, recorded it, written charts for it, and/or run a band like it. Top 40, Blues, R&B, Ska, Reggae, Hip Hop, Soul, Brass Band, Swing Band, Rockabilly, Jazz Combo, Wedding, Cover, classical ensemble, sax quartet, DJ, looping, pit orchestra, musicals, trad jazz, funeral bands, and on and on. I work with an NBA team running, arranging for, and performing with their brass band for all their home games. Please send me links to your music and what you're about. Also please give me an idea how often you get paid gigs and how often you rehearse. You can find samples and more about me here: mattcouzens.com Thanks for looking and see you on stage soon!
