Steve Clarke

"Steve is a consummate professional. He is exceptionally skilled, competent, and cosmopolitan. I enjoy watching him engage people from all walks of life, even as he masters the instruments of his trade."

"Vert talented saxophonist who puts on wonderful performances. Great saxophone teacher as well."

"Greatest Music Teacher I ever had and ever will have"

"One of the greatest musicians I've had the honor of playing with. His passion for music shines in every note and he is an incredible collaborator onstage."

"Steve is a consummate professional, constantly striving to better the sound of his music and his band. I once saw him play Happy Birthday at a dance and it moved the entire crowd with everyone saying it was the most soulful version they had ever heard. Steve gets the best swing musicians in the twin-cities and gets the best sounds out of them. He also shares his gifts and enthusiasm for all types of music with the next generation of musicians. Over the years some of his students played with his band and they all said he was a great teacher and an inspiration to them."

"We signed up for saxophone lessons for my middle schooler, and Steve was fantastic! He was easy to work with and communication was great, but the coolest part was having a professional musician teaching my son. I saw Steve at lessons in a Thursday, and then saw him playing with Cornbread Harris on a Sunday. A great guy and great musician"

"Steve is an amazing player with tons of great bands to book--he's a true Mnpls classic. Don't wait or hesitate on Steve Clark, he's the real deal and a gas to play with!"

"Steve gave my son lessons while he was in school which helped him to become a very accomplished sax player and musician."

"Wonderful musician! Book him and his band(s)"

"I've been working with Steve for many years, and following his music for even more. He is talented, professional, punctual, and knows how to engage with his audience. He has been easy to work with over the years. "
