The best gig I have ever done has to be when I played at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club. My band The Matt Telfer Quartet were the main act for that evening.
I love all events! Any excuse to play the saxophone!!!
My gigging career began over 25 years ago when I started performing with a soul band across the UK. This experience was where I honed my craft. From there, I transitioned into becoming a professional jazz musician and music producer.
Gil Scott-Heron, John Coltrane, and Bruce Lee are the reasons I play the saxophone. Bruce Lee might seem like an unusual influence, but his sheer dedication to training deeply impacted how I approached my practice, helping me to develop my skills. After seeing Gil Scott-Heron perform at Ronnie Scott's, I made the decision to become a professional musician. John Coltrane's music guided me through the tough times on my musical journey.
These are flexible and dependant on the events.
As an example, a sax and DJ event may consist of several 20-minute slots throughout the evening.
A jazz event can consist of several 45 to 50-minute sets throughout an event.
We are happy to play outside, we ask for a flat surface and power.
Clients are welcome to discuss and recommend a playlist.
Our previous clients have described us as highly professional and outstanding performers.
I'm happy to work with clients and offer complete flexibility.
