John performed at my wedding March 27,2021. He was absolutely amazing and I will definitely book him again. He’s very professional! My fest can’t stop talking about how great he was. Thanks again we really appreciate you.
HE WAS EXCELLENT!!!! WILL CONTRACT HIM AGAIN ANYTIME..
John's performance was great. The melody was a propulsive and danceable rhythm with warm, full sound on the instrument. He was worthy to be sought again in the future.
My birthday was in February 14.... My husband surprised with John coming to my job and playing the sax for me. This was the most beautiful, romantic, heartfelt gift John contributed to. His professionalism, his attire for the occasional, his friendliness, and most of all his perfection as a saxophonist will always be memorable day in my life. Thank you John!!1!
