About

Hi! My name is Tony and I'm a for hire studio saxophonist based out of Portland, Oregon. I've been playing sax for over twenty six years and worked with regional, national, and international bands from a variety of different musical genres. I specialize and am sought out primarily in improvisational work but am trained in reading written notation as well. I use a professional Selmer Series II alto and an intermediate level Cecilio baritone for session work. Also, I have the ability to use effect pedals for textural purposes if desired. I'm available in the studio remotely and in person locally. For rates and scheduling please feel free to contact me.🎷
