“Edmond did a great job playing background music for our jazz brunch. He wasn't too loud for inside the house and was enjoyed by all. ”
Overview
I am the Saxophonist of a premiere smooth jazz band in Texas and Louisiana. We provide a diverse book of music ranging from R&B/Soul/Pop covers, smooth jazz originals, to straight ahead jazz. Our influences include Kirk Whalum, George Duke, Michael Jackson, and Jeff Lorber. Whether background entertainment or the featured act, we provide top quality service and bring the party to our clientele. As a Saxophonist, I am also available as a solo artist as I have a fully functional, self-contained sound system and backing tracks. I look forward to hearing from you.

About
Born in the 80's and raised through the 90's, I grew up listening to great artists such as Prince and David Bowie, but was also introduced to the incomparable talents of Earth Wind & Fire and jazz legends like George Duke, Michael Brecker, and Kirk Whalum. As I came into my own as an artist, my sound also included various Neo Soul and R&B artists such as Beyonce, Jill Scott, and H.E.R. Today I continue to perform primary as the saxophonist/wind synth player and leader of Phoenix Rising Jazz.
Additional booking notes
No specific notes as staging would only be needed if the full band is booked. In that event, we are able to adapt if given dimensions on the venue.
