The Young Souls Jazz Collective is a duo featuring Nate Alexander on the keys and Jake Carey on the saxophone. Don't let the age of these two young musicians fool you. They are very accomplished musically and can deliver wonderful jazz tunes live. Music resides in their "Souls" and it reflects in their performance. If you are looking for jazzy tunes to compliment your event the Young Souls might just be what you are looking for. There is a good reason why Carrie Lazarus (Ch. 9 Syracuse) has featured Nate on her Extraordinary Talent show (4) times...and The Young Souls are soon to be featured on her upcoming show in December 2025!
