Our architectural firm hired Fred and his trio for our 40th Anniversary Party. He was incredibly professional, checking in periodically before our event to confirm our expectations and answer any questions we had. The trio was fantastic, everyone had rave reviews for us throughout the night. Would recommend to anyone looking to elevate any event !
The music was awesome presented by some very talented musicians. Freddy leads on sax and his trio did classic compositions as well as sparkling renditions of modern top 40 pieces. We look forward to a return engagement next summer !!!!

I love connecting with people on a personal and musical level. People are guaranteed to be thouroughly entertained when I perform. I enjoy playing energetic funk shows, or mellow background lounge jazz depending on the occasion. I play banquets, fundraisers, house parties, bars and whatever else may come my way! I am open to all kinds of music and am constantly pushing myself to learn new music and to hone my craft as a musician.
I am a sax player in Edmonton with lots of experience playing Jazz, Blues, Funk, Rock, World Music etc. I play in venues/situations such as clubs, bars, halls, banquets, parties, concerts etc. I have been hired as sideman for gigs, as well as having my own projects as band leader on different occasions. I greatly enjoy making new friends and connections and expanding my musical experiences!
Depending on the gig, I would need a mic for my sax, possibly a PA/Monitors. I play with many different musicians so much of the set up is dependent on their instrumentation, amps and other preferences. Lighting can be minimal or very bright, it does not matter, I usually play with all my music memorized or by ear, so it is not necessary for me to be able to see that well.
