I hope you’ll agree have a great sound on sax having found my real voice with the instrument after playing guitar for many years. I don't play much guitar now but can double (simple parts!) if rqd.
I have gigged with salsa , soul, rock jazz and reggae bands. Always looking for projects with solo artist or recording sessions. Anything with a groove is good: Jazz / Funk / Soul / R&B / Ska / Reggae / Rock / pop. I like to do ambient / lounge / dub / experimental styles also.
I write a bit, play by ear a lot, but can read and learn parts if rqd. If you have recordings I can add a demo some solos in my home studio for you to check out.
Give me a shout if you are looking for that special something to give some energy and lift to your sound!
