Absolutely incredible

If you’re searching for the highlight of your event, stop right here because Jorg from J-Sax is IT! He played the saxophone at our wedding, and words honestly can't capture how incredible he was. From the moment he started, he had every single guest captivated, engaged, and absolutely loving every second of the music.

Jorg came prepared with an amazing set of preset mixes, blending genres flawlessly to match the mood and flow of the evening. He started during the cocktail hour, setting a very swanky and sexy mood to get the party started. He continued playing during the dinner to continue the mood and then got the party started during the reception on dance floor mixed in with the guests where everyone let loose. He made sure every part of our special day had its perfect soundtrack.

Beyond his jaw-dropping talent, Jorg is a dream to work with. He’s super nice, professional, and made the entire process effortless. His energy and passion for his craft are infectious, and our guests haven’t stopped talking about how much they loved him. He took our wedding from memorable to unforgettable.

Hiring Jorg was hands-down wihtout a doubt one of the best investment we made for our wedding. He took our wedding from awesome, to absolutely outstanding and unforgettable. People havent stopped talking about it and everyone is asking for his number. We’ll definitely be booking him for future events, and if you’re even thinking about it, just don’t even hesitate. Jorg from J-Sax should be on everyone’s must-have list for their big day or any celebration. 10/10, absolutely phenomenal! 🎷✨

Music Genius with incredible skills !!! Just WOW !!!

We had the awesome privilege of having Jorg play at our wedding this past Saturday, Sept. 21st 2024.
His ability to play the sax and walk the room is effortless yet breathtaking at the same time. Jorg was professional, humble and delivered more than I could have imagined. We had wanted Jorg to play sax along with the song for our first dance…and he knew just when to join in and compliment it even more; his music talent has the ability to pull at your heart strings.
The guests were blown away by his choice of songs and endurance (one song after the other). I can keep going on and on…I strongly and definitely recommend Jorg !!

His music catalog was great , our guest loved him and were dancing to playlists. We had a blast working with him, very professional and responded quickly with any questions or requested. He added something to our wedding that made it just a bit more special. We highly recommend working with Jorg.

The Best in the Business!

Our guests are still raving about J-Sax's amazing performance at our wedding. He was perfect during the cocktail and fabulous during the party. Easy to work with, got our vibe right away, the whole experience was a bliss. Hands down, the best decision we have made during our wedding planning process. He liaised directly with the DJ and the venue to make sure everything was setup for him. The sax gave a nice touch of classiness and fun to our day. A true professionnel and amazing artist with a deep repertoire of all genres. Highly recommended.

Extraordinary

After reviewing several profiles for a saxophonist to play at my daughter's wedding, I chose Jörg, his website was by far the best. We were not disappointed, he was organized, he recommended a song list for the celebration and wedding reception that was exceptionnal, he was easy to reach, professional and most of all he played beautifully. We highly recommend Jörg.

Awesome saxophonist!

J-SAX accompanied our wedding cocktail hour as well as the dinner with the most beautiful lounge sounds and this created a unique ambience. Late at night they entertained us on the dance floor with their DJ set. We and our guests were thrilled about J-SAX!

Owner, Musical Director

For more than 20 years I have captivated and inspired audiences with my tasteful saxophone playing. As one of the few Swiss saxophonists I performed on stage alongside such musicians as Quincy Jones, Michael Bublé, The Manhattan Transfer, Al Jarreau, Patti Austin, Nikky Yanofski and many other talented musicians.

I have been living in Montreal for a few years now and have since fallen in love with the city and its fantastic music and cultural scene.

Originally grown up in Zurich/Switzerland, I studied saxophone, composition and arrangement at the Swiss Jazz School in Bern, graduating with a master’s degree in 2001.
