About
Hi!... I'm Don Jacobsen, and I've been a professional saxophonist, flutist and clarinetist for over 45 years performing with various groups and as a soloist. I have a music degree from the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music in California and have performed and recorded various styles of music in California, Washington State, Idaho, Montana, Washington D.C., Tennessee, Mississippi and various international locations. I perform and record mainly in the blues, jazz, R&B, soul, gospel and contemporary Christian genres.
I am available to perform and record as part of a group or as a soloist for your special occasion or event.
Additional Booking Notes
As a solo act, I have a very small "footprint" and only require one 15 amp power outlet for my sound equipment.
