We say: Kevin is one of the top sax-men in Bristol and is well-known for his technical excellence on his trademark alto sax. He is an accomplished musician and has played with most of the top musicians in the region and also beyond. Kevin can turn his talent to any style of jazz but if you want to hear some top be-bop then he's your man.
