Alex Laurenzi Jazz Saxophone

Dependent on the gig, but a power strip and extension cord is always preferred.

General layout of the space and any relevant acoustic information (wood floors, marble, etc.).

We can bring our own PA system if necessary. No lighting equipment.

If needed, yes.

I love to play intimate parties or house concerts. Whether it is a feature performance that is central to the party or background music, I always have a stronger connection to the people at the party when it is a smaller function.

I have been performing publicly and privately with my own bands since I was 14 years old, primarily in the Tri-State Area. I have led bands that have gone on cruises, performed at Jazz Festivals, and played at special events and galas.

As a jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane is at the top of my Mount Rushmore, but I also adore Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra for their artistry and their impact on American culture.

If we are bringing all gear, we normally need 30-60 minutes to set up. We either do multiple shorter sets (45-60 minutes) or one longer one (90 minutes). We never play longer than 90 minutes without a break.

I am as long as we are on a flat surface and shade for a sunny day, along with a power supply near the location.

We can learn requested songs but we like to cap that to 3 songs. Anything more would result in a higher fee.
