I recently had the honor to have Mr. Jim Nixon the saxophonist come to my home and help me surprise my lady with a candle light dinner and sax player for her 39th birthday ! I can truly say Mr Jim Nixon exceeded my expectations and I strongly recommend you hiring him for all your saxophonist needs. He is it!! Had us dancing and singing along to some of our favorite songs!! Hire him asap! He was on time and added that romantic vibe to our special night! Thanks again Mr Jim Nixon💫🥂

Exceptional Performance from Start to Finish!

Jimmey was absolutely phenomenal! He played the saxophone for my brother’s engagement, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience.

Mr. Nixon traveled from Delaware to a restaurant (Ropewalk) in Ocean City, MD, and was incredibly flexible when our location changed from Bethany Beach to OCMD. He was more than willing to accommodate the change without hesitation, which took so much stress off our shoulders.

From the very beginning, his communication was excellent. He responded quickly, was professional, friendly, and made planning the surprise so easy. His saxophone performance was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for such a special moment. It was everything we hoped for and more.

If you’re looking for a talented, reliable, and kind musician for your event, I highly recommend Jimmey. He exceeded our expectations in every way. 10/10—we would absolutely book him again!

Mr. Jim Nixon delivered an outstanding professional performa

Mr. Jim Nixon was absolutely outstanding at our Holiday Soirée on December 27, 2025. From the moment he started playing, he set the perfect tone for the evening—smooth, soulful holiday jazz that felt elegant, warm, and festive all at once.

What impressed us most was his versatility and musicianship. Jim performed on **alto, tenor, and bass saxophone**, and each one brought its own beautiful sound and energy to the room. He has a gift for reading the space—his music enhanced the atmosphere and encouraged conversation and connection without ever overpowering it.

Jim was also professional, punctual, and a true pleasure to work with—gracious, easygoing, and clearly passionate about his craft. Our guests loved him, and his performance helped make the evening truly special and memorable. We highly recommend Mr. Jim Nixon for any event where you want live music that elevates the entire experience.

OMG Charles!!! I so truly appreciate your kind words. It was one of the best gigs I had the pleasure performing at.
The atmosphere was phenomenal, and you were the most gracious host from start to finish.
I received such nice heartfelt compliments from your guests. That made my night, so I played on with pleasure.
Thank you again Charles for a most memorable and opportune time to bring smiles to your guests spirit.
Please keep me in mind for any upcoming events in the future.
It was a pleasure working with you.
Stay safe healthy and wise this new year.
