April 30, 2026The star of the show
Jason was absolutely outstanding—truly the star of the show at our wedding! We booked him to play alongside our DJ during the dance party, and he instantly elevated the entire atmosphere. From the moment he started, the energy shifted in the best way—our guests couldn’t stop talking about how talented he is.
He brought the perfect mix to every song, knowing exactly when to step in and when to let the music breathe. Beyond his incredible talent, Jason was so easygoing, professional, and accommodating throughout the entire process. He was a joy to work with and made everything feel seamless.
If you’re considering adding a saxophonist to your event—book Jason. You will not regret it!

October 24, 2024Must hire
We hired Jason for our wedding which was at the beginning of October. It’s three weeks later & the guests are still talking about him. Jason was extremely great to work with. He reached out prior to the wedding with his song list & asked us if we have any songs that we wanted him to play. The song that I wanted to walk down the aisle too ( “up” theme song) was not on the list , and he took the time to go above and beyond and learned how to play the song. He arrived early on the day of the wedding to ensure was ready to go to greet the guests upon arrival. He was a true professional and an amazing sax player .
If there are any doubts in hiring Jason, just do it! You will NOT regret it.

February 5, 2023The best musician for every event
My wife and I had Jason perform during our wedding dinner and dance party.
He was get at communication and when I took more than a month to respond with him while planning our wedding he was very understanding and able to meet every request we had.
He was friendly and affordable. He dressed in line with the colors my wife chose for the wedding theme. He came earlier than we requested for the setup to ensure everything ran smoothly. He was professional and personable when on site.
He is an expert on the saxophone and could play mellow cool jazzy style during cocktails & dinner. Then during the dance party he played along to our music play list perfectly and put on a great show joining in the dancing while playing the sax.
I couldn’t recommend Jason more for any event. He was the highlight of our night and would love to see him live again.
Thank you Jason!!!

About
Jason Gay is a saxophonist, bandleader, teacher and clinician who lives in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Originally from Washington DC, Jason Gay began performing professionally at age 16 touring various major cities with the musical and theatrical youth group “Uprising” operating as leader of its jazz component. He then moved to Boston where he attended Berklee College of music and studied with Joe Viola, Tomo Fujita, and George Garzone. During this time, Jason went on to win first place in the NAACP competition for “Best Instrumentalist” also placing first in the Joe Kennedy Jr. competition.
Later, Jason served eight years as a Unit Leader, saxophonist and Clinician in the US Navy band where he offered workshops and led musical groups across America as well as in Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Hawaii and Guam.
Jason Gay has collaborated and performed with Mos Def, Medeski Martin and Wood, Ravi Coltrane, Mulgrew Miller, Steve Lacy, Jeremy Pelt, Drummer John Blackwell and The Temptations.
After leaving the Navy, Jason took a three-year deep dive into the study of traditional Chinese folk songs, transcribing, listening, and reinterpreting the melodies. This study led to his first self produced album “Jason Gay Dynasty” released in 2017, which is available on all streaming platforms.
Jason Gay is based in Honolulu, Hawaii and is a highly sought after saxophonist performing with a wide variety of groups on Oahu, Maui and neighboring islands. For the past several years, he has been exploring the relationships between blues guitar concepts and how they relate to the saxophone.
