Bill Blackstones Velvet Express Solo

My Solo act features Beautiful, Relaxing, Romantic, and Classy Live Tenor Sax Entertainment. Professional and Seasoned. Mainstream Popular Radio Hits from the 30's through 90's.

I have over 25 years professional stage experience. Started playing at the age of 5. I had over 10 years of private instruction. Played in College Jazz, and Symphonic Bands. Started working in 3-7 piece bands, at night clubs, private events, corporate parties, receptions, in 1979. Have performed with several working groups. Top 40 Dance, Blues, Mowtown, Jazz, Funk and Rock. Stage presence comfortable and confident. I can sing some, play a little flute and guitar. Have years of Recording experience. Also an accomplished song writer, and my material is available on CD.

My specific appeal, on saxophone, is Sound, Soul, and Tone. I have a pitch perfect ear, and 'feel' the music come thru me. The audience truly feels this. I am exceptional with phrasing, and improvised solos.
