The saxophone has gone through a variety of cultural and image changes over the years. Saxophone players used to conjure up the image of 1940s big bands and the pink panther, then the 80s/90s pop era with your Baker Streets and Careless Whispers, not to mention the smooth era with (to name only one saxophonist) Kenny G. These broad brush strokes skip over plenty of fantastic jazz, funk and classical saxophone players and all those styles still thrive today… but one is particularly prevalent on the function scene.
Ibiza saxophone players for event, weddings and parties are more in demand than ever and is particularly fun for the sax player and your guests.
Saxophones are viewed as being synonymous with the image of the Ibiza party scene, with sax players not only fitting the sound but also the look of a relaxed, vibey night. Ibiza sax covers a lot of ground, from vibey summer nights in outdoor bars to roaming saxophonists in massive night clubs but they all have the same hallmarks - saxophones playing blistering solos over cool beats.
Favourite saxophone songs at weddings are remixes of Baker Street and Careless Whisper with their signature sax solos, followed closely by Jubel (Save Me), Man With The Red Face and We’re Gonna Dance To Urban Hits. A recent addition to that pantheon of Sax solo gods is ‘The nodding dog song’ (that’s all I had to go on initially) - Runaway by Sunstroke Project featuring the delightfully simple but catchy little sax earworm played by Sergey Stepanov.
Other classic Ibiza sax tunes are Freed From Desire, Destination Calabria, Mr Saxobeat, Sweet Lovin’ and Music Sounds Better With You to name but a few.
If you want your London event, wedding or party to feature Ibiza-style club anthems, upbeat chart classics or more chilled-out Cafe del Mar vibes, then adding some live saxophone magic is guaranteed to add that wow factor and give your guests a focal point to enjoy and talk about.
