Andrew Blee

I am a saxophonist and saxophone teacher in Bournemouth with many years of playing experience across Dorset and Hampshire. Some of my notable performances include the Bournemouth “OnStage at Pier Approach” annual summer event, Taverners Big Band, Bournemouth’s Shelley Theatre, Chichester Jazz Club, and the Chichester Observer Business Awards as well as many private and corporate events. I gig regularly with various bands, including the awesome Red Fez Orchestra, Forza Saxophone Quartet, and the West Sussex based jazz quartet Modern Strategy. I’m currently a Masters student in Music Performance at Southampton University. I also can provide solo saxophone with backing tracks with quality PA, microphone and speaker equipment. I also co-run JazzSmart music workshops, which in collaboration of some of the UK’s most respected educators and saxophonists such as Derek Nash and Andy Scott, help people realise their dream of becoming better musicians. Our saxophone workshops run regularly through the year, with emphasis on improving ensemble playing, sight-reading, tone, technique, and dedicated courses for jazz improvisation.
