November 9, 2024Top Tier 100 stars if I could
He got started promptly on time. The wedding party was outside taking pictures and I heard him everyone thought he was amazing. I’m still getting messages from people two weeks later asking for his info. He was able to play the songs we requested plus some of his choosing. I’ll never forget him and I hope to have him for future events as well. Vandell you were wonderful. I mean absolutely mouth dropping. Any words to describe him would be an understatement. He’s amazing.

Vandell was exceptional in all aspects. He arrived early to make sure he would be able to connect properly to the dj. And in general, he just is an amazing saxophonist. My guests loved the touch of a saxophonist and he truly made my wedding even better.

March 3, 2025Awesome!
Vandell was so easy to work with! He was kind and the music set the tone for the whole evening. He was quick to ask what sort of songs we’d like to hear and played them throughout the night. We loved it and would hire him again!

About
Vandell Andrew grew up in New Orleans, spending years of his childhood in the shadow of Louis Armstrong, soaking up the vibe of the French Quarter’s great brass bands. Jazz was in the blood, but his soul was also filled with magic from his flute playing mom’s R&B collection (Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, etc.), hip-hop and Erykah Badu. Encouraging Vandell’s musical ambitions, his dad gave him John Coltrane and Charlie Parker CDs and told him for every song he learned, he would give him $100. With that money adding up, Vandell bought an audio interface, recorded his first CD and through determination and sheer hard work has emerged as one of the great independent contemporary jazz success stories of the decade.
