I booked Mr. Baker for my mother’s 70th Paris themed birthday. He was world class, very communicative, professional and easy to work with. He is a master of his craft, you won’t be disappointed if you book him. Definitely will book him again.

Edmond did a great job playing background music for our jazz brunch. He wasn't too loud for inside the house and was enjoyed by all.

Gracefully The Best!

To the Uptown Saxman thank you!
I wanted to book a saxophonist for my dad’s funeral as he was a huge jazz/music lover. I am so glad that I followed my intuition and booked Edmond. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! His communication and professionalism was top tier, from the beginning to the last tune 🎶 at the service. He played to the attendees, which was a freestyle request and was engaged with the pianist the entire time. His performance added grace and style during an difficult time for me and my family. Everyone was in awe, and raved about how his service was the perfect touch! I'm so pleased we booked Edmond and would highly recommend him to anyone. Once again Edmond your playing was fantastic and we thank you for making our father’s service even more delightful. The Girl’s & Dad (classic man)!
