Mike Smith Saxophonist

He has developed his own individual style of saxophone playing on alto and soprano saxophones. His roots are in Jazz, which inspired him from his earliest playing days on the alto. He later branched out into the Classical field, gaining a Performers Diploma from the Royal Academy of Music in London. Further along the line, he formed his own band, Phlexygon, a high quality Jazz/Rock ensemble, which he directed and led, and for which he wrote all of the music.

In recent years, as a saxophone soloist at weddings and other special occasions, Michael’s distinctive playing has enthralled congregations and audiences in Britain, Spain and America. In many of these instances, he has performed music which he wrote specifically for the occasion.
