May 15, 2026The saxophonist’s performance was absolutely amazing. Every attendee thoroughly enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. The music selections were excellent and created the perfect atmosphere for the event. His talent, professionalism, and ability to engage the audience truly made the performance memorable. We would highly recommend him for any occasion.

October 19, 2025What a great event. Alpha 1 Arts really came through. His skills were perfect for our event. Very cooperative and open to any of our requests. Even played a melody that we sent to him for my wife and my special Waltz. Highly recommend this service for anyone looking for an excellent saxophonist.

Solo gig
Generally expect unlimited songs for the duration of your program or event. Depending on how long ,there will be most likely a 15 minute break or two. Solo gigs will have personal sound system with accompaniment music via a computer or sequencer along with a cordless mic. I like to interact with people as well.
