Testimonials
“Every holiday season my extended family celebrates the holidays by attending a musical event or performance. We’ve done the pops, the Nutcracker, etc. but this Christmas we decided to have a more intimate event at home and luckily the JP Sax Quartet was available. I can say, without hesitation, that this was our best year yet and moving forward I hope we can reserve a spot in their holiday party lineup! The gentlemen where timely, professional, fun and so extremely talented. The music was incredible and filled us all with the wonder and excitement of the season.”
- Heather Thornhill, Jamaica Plain, MA
"JP Saxophone Quartet is a pleasure to work with - they are incredibly professional and a whole lot of fun! Our customers really enjoy their music and we have been thrilled to have them return to play at the Boston Public Market for several years in a row. We can't wait to have them back!"
– Carrie DeWitt, Boston Public Market
