Overview
Set your event off right with Live Music. I am a Jazz Musician, specializing in Saxophone. I provide music for any occasion and live music will give your functions that 'classy' feel. I am a self-contained artist - I play many styles of music, specializing in Jazz, and Smooth Jazz, but also offer R&B, pop, Big Band, and classical selections. I have tracks that offer a full sound with me as the lead. You hardly miss a full band. I also have many musician friends that I can call on to make up Duos, Trios, Quartets, or Quintets - just let me know what you need and I'm happy to put something together for you.

Performer was ill prepared, played tentatively and only played the featured instrument twice, briefly. He played the flute more, which could hardly be heard in a small setting. Sadly he did not add to the festivities.....it was more of a distraction. Personality wise he was gracious, but unfit for the event.

Response from Montgomery Music Productions:
Total equipment malfunction - I keep backup equipment in case of problems on a set - but this time both iPods (one malfunctioning and the other ‘missing’ somehow) and my iPad were not functioning - I explained as best I could to client but I hate making excuses and was flabbergasted by not seeming to be prepared, I did however, play the songs requested by client and more without tracks.
This is a wonderful man, very talented and capable as a “solo act” if that is what you are looking for (like we were). We had a birthday party for a large group, and he travelled a very long way to play smooth jazz as requested. Very reliable! Many commented on how great the music was and I especially appreciated how easy our communication was before, during and at the end of the event. Thank you again, you made my father and all of us very happy!

Saxophone Player
He went to my GFs place of work to play some Marvin Gaye for her birthday. It was not a milestone birthday, just her birthday which is always special to me.
Her and her colleagues just loved the music that he played. A few even posted it on FB.
For a special surprise, hire Montgomery Music Productions not just for a special occasion, to make any occasion special. He was great! I highly recommend him.
Saxophone Player
Excellent saxophonist and flute player. He plays so good and the crowd really loved him. Very easy to get along with. He went above and beyond to make my Dads 90th party a time to remember.

If you are looking to surprise your mate with a private evening with dinner and music at your favorite destination then I would recommend Mr. Montgomery. He came to San Luis Obispo and played for 2 hours for my girlfriend and I on the beach watching the sunset. Music was amazing and very professional.

Response from Montgomery Music Productions:
Thanks my Brother! I enjoyed myself also - that's a great idea to have an evening like that, I wish the weather would have been more accommodating (fog and all) but it was great fun still - I'm going to buy myself a generator like you had and keep that for occasions such as this (always good to be prepared) Thanks again, and if you ever need my services again, I'm just a phone call away. Peace y'all
What a perfect addition to complete our Wine & Cheese Tasting Event with such beautiful music!
Saxophone Player
Wes came and set up one hour early before start time, started playing for guest before his start time. He showed patience while the younger generation took over his computer to play other genre of music. He stayed later than originally planned at an extra fee! He was neat and mingled well with others. Very satisfied with his performance.
One Man Band, Saxophone Player
Mr. Montgomery was Excellent. He help make my daughter's engagement party the night we will all remember. He was very professional and everyone Loved him. He was everything I prayed he would be and more. He is a very nice person as well and very professional. my husband and I would love to have him play at my daughters wedding next yr.
