Jamaica Plain Saxophone Quartet Classical Quartet from Boston, MA

Described as “vibrant, versatile, and engaging,” the Jamaica Plain Saxophone Quartet brings energy and variety to every performance. JPSQ’s repertoire list covers the spectrum, with music appropriate for everything from weddings to birthdays to cocktail parties and more, and with almost a century of playing experience between the four members of the group, JPSQ brings poise and professionalism to every engagement. Established in 2016, JPSQ has performed actively throughout New England since its founding, and has been presented by organizations such as the Harvard Club of Boston, Rasin Foundation, the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, the Peabody Essex Museum, Boston Parks and Recreation, and the Boston Public Market. Our extensive repertoire list (see the song list below!) includes current pop tunes (Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga), golden oldies (Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Neil Diamond), your favorite throwback tunes (Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Smashmouth), classic swing (Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller), Latin (Piazzolla), and Classical (Bach, Debussy, Handel). We are equally comfortable playing a cocktail hour or a wedding ceremony, and we are happy to work with you on any requests that you might have. Just get in touch! Testimonials: “Every holiday season my extended family celebrates the by attending a musical event or performance. We’ve done the pops, the nutcracker, etc. but this Christmas we decided to have a more intimate event at home and luckily the JP Sax Quartet was available. I can say, without hesitation, that this was our best year yet and moving forward I hope we can reserve a spot in their holiday party lineup! The gentlemen where timely, professional, fun and so extremely talented. The music was incredible and filled us all with the wonder and excitement of the season.” - Heather Bello, Jamaica Plain, MA "Jamaica Plain Saxophone Quartet played our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Andy was great to work with leading up to the event - he was always quick to respond to emails and was very accommodating. I only wish I had been able to hear more of them as we were running around taking pictures during most of their performance time! Would definitely recommend the JP Sax Quartet to anyone considering live music for their wedding!" - Jenna G., September 2021 Wedding - Amherst, MA “JP Sax Quartet was the hit of our wedding photography workshop! These guys are talented, fun, entertaining and play a wide variety of music, from classics to contemporary. The bride and groom's (and my) favorite part of the evening was dancing to their tunes. I would not hesitate to book them for my next event!” - Kim Pang, PangZerb Photography "JP Saxophone Quartet is a pleasure to work with - they are incredibly professional and a whole lot of fun! Our customers really enjoy their music and we have been thrilled to have them return to play at the Boston Public Market for several years in a row. We can't wait to have them back!" - Carrie DeWitt, Boston Public Market “JP Sax Quartet was an absolute hit at our Holiday party. From the start, they were completely accommodating and easy to work with. On the day of the event, the quartet was timely and extremely professional! All of the guests have raved about their experience and loved the music choices. I would highly recommend the JP Sax Quartet.” - Shannon Haas, Harvard Medical School “The members of the JP Saxophone Quartet are a very talented and professional group of musicians. Our patrons at the Plumbing Museum loved their performance last summer! I am pleased to recommend JPSQ to any venue looking for an exciting, unique, and fun night!” - Sasha Parfenova, Watertown Plumbing Museum “The JP Saxophone Quartet played at our client appreciation party and were a hit! We received lots of compliments about them from our guests that night and in the days following. They guys were quick to respond to our inquiry, on time, and easy to work with. We look forward to working with them again on future events.” -Tristan Rushton, Coldwell Banker “The JP Sax Quartet made a spectacular addition to our annual work holiday celebration. They easily accommodated our musical requests, included some excellently lighthearted modern covers, and dressed to match our event theme. It was a delight to work with these professional musicians.” - Meg Nagle, Harvard Medical School "The Jamaica Plain Saxophone Quartet put on one of the most entertaining shows we have ever had at Standish Village. They knew exactly what the residents would want to hear, played a fantastic array of music, and had them all singing along. We can't wait to have them back and I would recommend them for any event, as they have a great ability to know how to cater to every audience." - Lauren Basler, Standish Village at Lower Mills
