There seem to be a number of sax players in London that frequent Sax Station, so I did a little bit of investigation with the help of Andre Emond.
A few prominent saxophone players in London include Gilad Atzmon,Tommaso Starace, Matt Wates, Paul Booth, Dave Ohiggins, Mornington Lockett, Christian Brewer, and Derek Nash.
“The jazz scene is not bad but does not pay a lot,” according to Andre Emond.
Once upon a time, there was jazz at the royal Festival Hall in the foyer in London.
Andre also helps run jazz sessions at the cafe in the local library in Croydon- every Thursday at lunchtime and it has been running for about 9 years
Derek Nash does loads of work but travels all over the place
