Wow, thank you! 15,000 subscribers and 7.5 million views is some going!

My name is Matthew Stone, I live in Leicestershire, England. I'm a saxophonist, playing throughout the region in various bands. I try to play out at pubs, clubs, weddings and parties as often as I can.

I started off as a child playing the flute and then guitar. The saxophone came later in life, a first short spell in my early 20's, then a renewed interest about 8 years ago. The guitar has been constant, as well as love for jazz, particularly West Coast jazz from the 50's. That came from Dad, and my Mum is a very creative person too!

Playing the saxophone is a spare time thing for me, I have an important day-job, so I apologise If I can't answer all your questions. Please don't ask me for backing tracks or sheet music. I pay for mine, and I think everybody should or there would be no musicians left!

I’m taking a break from posting at the moment, work is a priority- plus I’m “woodshedding” on the guitar!

    Great version. Keep playing. I try to play only by ear, but I dont spend much time in it because of other things in life, but I do love pretty music and can appreciate the talent and effort to play so. Love it .

    Hey, Matthew. Love your version of this tune. Saw some of your explanations of your studies and trials in learning the sax. I do slightly similar and understand your point of view to trying to play at all. Let alone being a pro. Like me, I can see you love the music, but I can say you play well compared to me for sure. Keep playing !!!!! It's a beautiful art and hobby. Sounds great to me . Also, your version of The girl from Iponima, did I spell that right??? Sounds great.

    You've improved! (not that you weren't good before).. I've listened to a bunch of your work from ten years ago.. I think the emotional communication and story telling aspects are really good here, and the ornamentation is very fluid and tasteful.. very nice!
