Details:
Founded in March of 1991, The Manhattan Saxophone Ensemble gained the immediate attention of the New York jazz scene.

The ensemble''s seemingly overnight success is due as much to their unique approach to the music as to the individual artistry of the members.

The Manhattan Saxophone Ensemble offers audiences an exciting musical experience that is creative and enjoyable.
