Jaylon's 2021 Grad Dinner

The Uptown Saxman belted out sweet soulful sounds during my son's graduation dinner at Perry's Steakhouse. The smile on my son's face and his guest said it all. This gifted saxophone player contributed to a signature "Epic Event". When the guest started singing along I knew it was a hit. We were honored and blessed by his sounds. It went right along with our Music Studio theme!. We will definitely hire him again an highly recommend him. Did I mention he was sharp as a tack. Definitely first class..

Indian Wedding - Best Jazz Player

Edmond was fantastic to have at our wedding cocktail hour. First, he was very easy to contact and communicate with, even during the time during Houston when the power went down. We had an Indian wedding and asked if he would play during cocktail hour, and we were able to plan and allocate accordingly. His music and style was absolutely amazing, and really added an incredible touch to the cocktail hour. Our guests (many of whom haven't even been exposed to jazz in the past) could not stop raving about the music. It was clear he was passionate, professional, and super talented. We thank Edmond so much for his time and music.

Made My Mother's Birthday Special

Edmond Baker was a pleasure to work with while planning my mother's surprise COVID safe birthday drive by. The musical selection was perfect for setting the tone for the drive-by, which led to an impromptu COVID safe small gathering on the patio. Everyone socially distanced and enjoyed Edmond's saxophone playing, which made for a great atmosphere. People are still complimenting his performance.

Happily Married!

Mr. Baker was a complete professional with a "down to earth" attitude that you can relate. We were in a great need for a saxophone player because the one we hired cancelled, but Mr. Baker stepped up and traveled all the way from Houston, TX to Harlingen, TX. His music was so romantic and joyful. All our guest were down-founded by the heart felt music to their ears. He was caring and at tentative to our requests. Let there be misunderstanding - if you want romantic music and a experience professional musician (we) highly recommend this individual for your special event. Thank you Mr. Baker you were a great Blessing!

An absolute delight

A tremendous thanks to Edmond, who helped make my dear friend's birthday in Houston so special. As we're social distancing in different cities, many of us were on zoom, and I arranged with my friend's sister for Edmond to come over during dinner (social distance of course) and surprise my friend with music. Edmond replied timely to all my questions as we were arranging, and my friend and her family were blown away (as we were!) Edmond, although we were witnessing your music from Toronto, Montreal, and Madison, we enjoyed every moment - thank you!

Best of the best

I hired Edmond Baker Jr to perform at our family reunion June, 24 at the Marriott Hotel in Houston, Texas. We got the DJ package where he performs with his son. They were a fantastic duel. Edmond Saxophone playing was perfection and his son Darin singing and dancing was magical. I had almost everyone asking me if he was lip syncing. They added the very special touch our family reunion banquet needed. Our next reunion is in Las Vegas and we are going to do our best to get them to Vegas to perform again. As the organizer of the reunion, I am forever indebted to them for making me good.

Exceptional Talent - Adaptable and Responsive

Mr. Baker, aka Uptown SaxMan, is an exceptional talent that made the private party booked at my bosses' home a huge success. The ease with which he communicates, very responsive, quite adaptable and agreeable to fluid changes (indoors? outdoors? dress? audience?) he adjusts his repertoire of music to the crowd (to liven up or wind it down) and is in tune to the host as well. Quite an accomplishment! It was a delight to work with Mr. Baker and hope I have a need for his talent again in the future. Outside of his musical talent, he is an honorable, delightful man.

Amazing Talent!!! (Wedding Reception)

Mr. Edmond Baker, Jr. the "Uptown Saxman" was a hit at our wedding reception! He set a joyful mood and everyone loved him!! We got several compliments about our "DJ/Saxophone artist." To top things off, I, the Bride, did not get the schedule or the song list to him until the night before the wedding!! Mr. Baker was patient, understanding, encouraging, and flexible! He put me at ease. The songs I had chosen for the DJ section did not copy to his computer well, so he had tons of songs with no titles, and he handled the situation calmly and with grace. He managed to play all of the right songs at the right time even without the titles (i.e. Bride and Groom first dance...) and he kept the mood of the reception consistent. I was extremely impressed and definitely recommend his services!! I am also very thankful to have found a DJ that holds our same convictions morally! I did not have to worry about having cussing or unfriendly music!! I loved it!! Thank you so much Edmond!!
