Overview
Downright Saxy is a one man band that performs instrumental covers of Oldies/Top 40's Hits and Jazz. Downright Saxy is the perfect choice for low to medium sized budgets for private events, weddings, corporate parties, festivals, cocktail hours, and more. This act has the added benefit of being able to play in smaller sized event spaces and is able to keep the volume from getting too loud.
Jeff Miguel plays the vocal melodies live on tenor saxophone and uses a pre-recorded rhythm section to fill out the sound.
Jeff Miguel has a M.A. in Music with an emphasis in Jazz Studies and he received the Downbeat Student Music Award for Best Blues/Pop/Rock Soloist in the Graduate category in 2016.
