Overview

Hi! My name is Kenji Lee and I am a saxophonist based in Ann Arbor. My band plays a variety of musical styles including jazz, r&b, soul, funk, rock and more. We are happy to accommodate any needs that you would need for live music at your event. We believe in being punctual, low maintenance, professional and bringing a high quality performance. Our audiences, from children to the elderly, always leave happy. We can perform music that will get you on your feet and dancing, and we also have the control and flexibility to play at low volumes to set the ambiance of a room in more quiet/background situations. Most importantly, we are versatile.

Truly remarkable musicians!

Not only were they amazing artists that brought our show to a whole new level, but they were professional and a joy to work with. I would hire them again without hesitation.
