Bio
The smooth jazz sound of Saxallogy consists of the duo textures of David Glymph (Alto Sax) and Willie Wilson (Soprano Sax and Keyboards) with a splash of Electric guitar from Steve Samuel. The blending of these dual Saxes and electric guitar creates harmonic tension and release of various musical styles from jazz, smooth jazz, R & B, pop, and gospel music that propel the music listener to a fluid and melodic splash of smooth jazz fusion.
About David David Middie Glymph is aptly nicknamed Saxomani because he makes his custom class vintage-finished P. Mauriat Alto Saxophone (Model PMXA - 67R) an extension of his body and soul. His Akai EWI 4000S is no stranger as well in this uncanny connection of man and instrument. David has experience in jazz, concert, and marching bands, and it is evident in his stage presence. The Saxomani has been an integral part of Mike Stone (Season 6 of America's Got Talent) and The Kritikal Band. David has played in festivals, concerts, fundraisers, weddings, and more. He most recently was honored to open at Elizapalooza 2014 (major fundraiser for Eliza that has helped raise more than one million dollars during campaign). He has played at The Jacksonville, NC Jazz Festival with the amazing JMichael Peeples, and premiered at the new Winston's Restaurant in The Granary Hotel, Event, and Convention Center.
About Willie Willie Wilson has been studying and playing keyboard and Soprano sax music for over twenty years. His mastery of synthesizers and the revolution that has occurred in the digital music world is profoundly heard. His Soprano sax lines run smoothly between his keyboard harmonies. When he plays live, one of the most repeated comments that Willie gets about his music is that "It sounds so professional, I thought it was a CD."
About Steve Steve Samuel is a multi-dimensional Berklee School of Music guitarist. His electric guitar lines will remind you of such artists as George Benson and Norman Brown. Steve's ability to create improvisational guitar lines and melodies that move and set the groove for David and Willie's saxophone lines provides an integral part of Saxallogy.
