    Rob has provided Sax for me for many years now and is a true pro. I've worked with him on classical, jazz and dance show projects and its always top notch stuff.

    Rob has been my go to sax guy for over 15 yrs . Not only is he a brilliant , natural musician , but the reason I trust him with any of my gigs is his ability to adapt to any musical situation . Ive thrown some pretty strange briefs and ideas at Rob over the years hoping to find answers to musical questions , and he has always come up with the solutions .
