Hello music
lover!
Cupid's arrows are flying and love is
in the air (at least in theory!). Can you believe it's February
already? I hope you are all feeling as warm and fuzzy as I
am.
Fresh back from my NAMM Show
adventure (National Association of Music Merchants) at the Anaheim Convention
Center, I'm excited to announce that I returned with a new endorsement -- a
shiny new curved soprano saxophone from Hollywood Winds/Unison. I've been
playing a Unison soprano since 1993, when I bought one of their original horns
to hit the marketplace. So it was not a far stretch for Rheuben Allen of
Hollywood Winds to offer to add me to their website's Artists Page. I have
noticed great improvements in the horns in recent years, so I was happy to
accept the upgraded model.
Of course, I remain loyal to my
friends at Yamaha, having played Yamaha alto saxes since 1973 (yes, 32
years!). As a Yamaha Roster Artist and Clinician, I've been blowing their
new Custom Z alto saxophone with the black lacquer finish (also endorsed by my
hero, Phil Woods). This horn has such a huge, rich sound. I'd love
for you to come out to my gigs so I can play it for you!
To find out more about this musical
gear, I invite you to go to my website at www.SonyaJason.com.
Click "Who Is She" and scroll down to the Endorsements section of the Career
Highlights page. There you will find links to Hollywood Winds/Unison and
Yamaha.
And now for some LIVE MUSIC to add
romance to your life! Here's where I'm playing in the coming
