About Jesse
I’m a professional saxophonist and improviser with 35 years of experience, specialising in tone, technique, and creative approaches to improvisation. My teaching combines jazz, modal language and Indian classical concepts to help you build a confident, expressive voice on the saxophone — whether you are a complete beginner, returning player or an experienced musician.
I have been playing professionally for 35 years across jazz, Indian classical and intercultural music, performing internationally and collaborating with leading artists from the UK and India. My work focuses on tone, improvisation and the creative meeting of musical traditions.
I bring this experience directly into my teaching, offering a clear pathway for students who want to develop not just technique, but artistic identity, confidence and musical fluency. My approach is supportive, patient and encouraging — I teach all ages and levels.
