Multi Award Winning Female Saxophonist, Birmingham, UK, Jazz, Gospel, Reggae, Blues, Soul and Originals. 'Music for the soul'
A new, lovely Sunday afternoon, a new video for all of you. Back at Ditton Manor, the Millicent Stephenson Trio performed the legendary song ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, written by Bart Howard in 1954. Our interpretation is based on Frank Sinatra’s recording of it, which released around a decade later.
As a sax player, I aim to keep and honour the essence of the original song when I cover it, while also bringing the qualities of the saxophone to it. Additionally —and this is the fun part— I embellish the piece with my own personal touch.
This year is coming to a close. Looking back, I feel blessed by the amount of special occasions I’ve had the chance to contribute to with my music. There’s been a little of everything: private and public events, celebrations of beginnings, milestones and ends.
Sax Girls Rock, an online community of female sax players I’ve been in contact with for several years, will offer their first live concert on August 3rd. If you’re in the USA, don’t miss it!
This Saturday 6th August, I will perform at the music event of the Commonwealth Games, which will incorporate a Jamaican theme due to the date being the 60th anniversary of Jamaica’s independence!
Let me tell you about how the Walsall Black Sisters Collective celebrated its 35th anniversary. I played the sax!
If you think a sax performance would go great with your event, be sure to enquire quick through my bookings form, so you don’t get your time slot snatched by someone else!
Here I leave my original song “I’d Be Blue (If I Didn’t Have You)”, part of my album Reflective Notes, as a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
My version of ‘Take Me To The King’ gives an uplifting instrumental reggae twist to the chart topping Gospel and Contemporary Christian song originally performed by Tamela Mann and written by Kirk Franklin.
