December 12, 2025Ashley was THE BEST! Communicative in advance, she showed up fully prepared with all her set-up, including a mic she shared with our team when we needed it, which was so very helpful. She was friendly & engaging with our team who absolutely loved the live music and the selection of tunes that Ashley played beautifully. Would HIGHLY recommend and definitely would hire again.

Thank you so much Pam for this kind review! It truly means a lot. I’m so glad the music and setup were helpful and that the team enjoyed the experience. It was a pleasure working with you all, and I’d absolutely love to collaborate again in the future!

January 17, 2024Ashley was the perfect soundtrack to my wedding reception! From the moment cocktail hour began, she created a magical atmosphere with her music. Even with our early wedding and lunch reception, she kept the vibe lively and upbeat, and everyone raved about her performance. Every song she played was a gem, and she had us all swaying and singing along. If you're looking for an incredible musician to elevate your event, book Ashley!

October 10, 2023We booked Ashley for our Indian wedding a few months back, as our cocktail hour entertainment. We booked her well in advance (6mo or more), and she was very communicative and open to learning Indian/Bollywood songs that can be conveyed in a saxophone version.
Day of, it was AMAZING to hear all these familiar Bollywood songs in a medium we don't usually get to hear. My family was blown away and absolutely impressed with her professionalism, talent, and going above and beyond with learning new music.
I cannot recommend her more!!

You can expect that Ashley will be on time with a clean and neat set up (managing any wires or cables). Ashley is very easy to work with in terms of needs for the event. She interacts with the audience and encourages listeners to feel free to dance and have a great time.
ASHLEY JEMISON is bringing a new school vibe to smooth jazz. Covering the current styles of R&B and pop music of today while adding a unique improvisational twist leaves her audiences wanting more. She has been invited back for performances spanning from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. An event with the back drop of smooth and soulful saxophone tone of Ashley easily takes the ambience to a new level. While having played the sax for many years she knows that her passion was not just to play music but to share music with the World. Uplifting the spirits and moving people to dance, tears, happiness is what truly pushes Ashley to give performances of a lifetime.
