Sax Assault
Some of my most memorable, demanding, and downright enjoyable musical experiences have been as part of SaxAssault, Andy Scott's amazing 9 saxophones and rhythm section jazz funk supergroup. An incredible selection of world class musicians from such a huge variety of backgrounds come together to make a high energy, tight, driving band that literally blows audiences away. Several youtube clips out there, including one on my watch & listen page.
