baritone sax Paul has been a
professional musician since 1982. Largely self taught, Paul came to the
music through Melbourne's thriving Rock and R&B scene. He has since
worked in most areas of the business, produced several CD's under
his own name, appeared on many others as a soloist and arranger,
maintained several long running residencies and has enjoyed continuous
gainful employment. The fact that his father played Double Bass &
Sousaphone, may explain his attraction to the lower end of the
Saxophone family.
Paul is a self confessed golf addict, enjoys fishing and just loves to play the saxophone........ |

tenor sax Over the past
twenty-five years Tony and his Tenor have made amazing music
with Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra, jazz superstars
Billy Cobham and Randy Brecker, and with countless musicians
in Melbourne's local jazz, commercial, theatre, classical
and avant-guarde scenes. While he is equally
comfortable across a range of saxophones, flutes and clarinets,
there will always be a place in Tony's heart for his beautiful old
Selmer tenor.

soprano sax Leo has been playing
soprano sax in bands, on albums and in soundtracks in Australia and
throughout Asia for over 25 years. His 20 years of
teaching have covered everything from teaching the first 3 notes on a
recorder to primary students in the 80s to designing course subjects at
tertiary level more recently. He works as a producer and owns his own
studio and label - Q releases. Leo enjoys a photo
opportunity, loves coffee and has a keen interest in yoga.
'It was the sound of the soprano that inspired me to take up sax. While I make music on the other saxes, the process of playing soprano feels more like speech.' leodale.com |
