Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Established in 2003 originally as a duo. Overtime we have introduced other musicians to perfomr as a trio and are called Jazz of the wall. The trio comprises vocals, sax and guitar.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Mosaic can be seen playing Live in venues around Ringwood, Southampton, New Milton, Bournemout, Lymington Fordingbrdige and Salisbury.
The Ship Inn at Fordingbridge is a favourite
Your musical influences
Stan Getz, Sony Rollins, Grover Washington, Count Basie, Van Morrison to name a few! I love softer Jazz numbers with a melody that people recognize but can easily be improvised over to add variety and effect.
What equipment do you use?
I have a Yanigasawa 991 Tenor Sax, a Yamaha Baritone and an Earlham Alto. I also use Mini discs for backing tracks which are played througha portable 100W PA system. I have remote power capabilites an can perform in the middle of a field!
Anything else?
Being a solo artist, I take up little space and offer real value for money, I have been playing publicly for more than 10 years and have received nothing but compliments from my customers.
