Solo Saxophonist?

Does anyone know of a solo saxophonist?  Just looking for options for our cocktail hour...  Thank you!!!

    We had one for our wedding ceremony- we used Smitty Dee's Brass Band.  The sax player played our ceremony, he led us out of Jackson Square to the Second Line Band, we second lined and then the band played our cocktail hour.
    Without a doubt, I think Smitty (Dimitri Smith) would do a solo sax player and his prices are ridiculously fair.  His cell is: 504-439-2002

    Pic below of our solo sax player!

    Thanks!  I think your wedding is the one that was blogged and gave me the idea.  BEAUTIFUL wedding!   :) Spoke to Smitty this afternoon, and it sounds like it will work out.  I appreciate your help!!!!  :)  
  • Smitty Dee's performed a second line at my wedding. I found out a year after my wedding that my wedding guests had to pay them several hundred dollars out of pocket when they were threatening to leave before performing (bc a guest passed out in the middle of the ceremony and 911 had to be called; the band got tired of waiting). They didn't play the song that was requested to be played upon the bride and groom exiting St. Louis Cathedral. They LEFT THE BRIDE AND GROOM and proceeded down the street, leaving my husband and I to have to RUN several blocks in our wedding attire to catch up with them!!?!? Then once we caught up, they stopped dancing. They literally WALKED the rest of the way to the reception venue. ALL of their music was monotonous and not exciting. They were the part of our wedding we were most looking forward to showing out out of town guests to give them a NOLA wedding experience. They were the WORST part of our wedding! DO NOT BOOK THEM FOR ANYTHING! They were by far the worst decision I made for my wedding.
