Words can't express the level of anointing Mr. Russell brought to my mom service. At the end of the service he was like family. I will most definitely recommend his love and professionalism for your next event

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 21, 2024•From Bolingbrook, IL
Our entertainment cancelled 6 days before my mother in-laws surprised 80th b'day party. I came across "The Bash" from Google search and was looking for saxophonist. Ralph Russell's name was listed 2nd and he had great reviews & videos. After submitting request for quote, Ralph responded within an hour and accepted!! He surpassed my expectations from start to finish. A true professional, easy to work wiith, very accomodating, great communicator. So talented with the saxophone, our family and guests were very impressed and entertained. Ralph stayed passed the 2 hrs without complaining because our family speeches were passing around his microphone!

It was a pleasure to be a part of your event. An 80th birthday party is an excellent thing to have for somebody. It just shows how many lives your guest of honor has touched. What a great time. Thank you for the opportunity.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 6, 2024•From Chicago, IL
When Ralph Russell arrived, he had a big smile on his face. He was very excited to be there to perform for my husband's 75th birthday celebration. We had Ralph Russell perform last year for our son's college graduation party.
He was absolutely amazing! So, we decided to invite him back. We will also book him for our family reunion. Ralph is the consummate performer! He's very personable and kind. He's a superb saxophonist! I would highly recommend Ralph for any occasion or event. Hat's off to you Ralph Russell. We look forward to booking you again.

Private Party•Reviewed on May 16, 2023•From Chicago, IL
When Ralph walked through the door of the Empire Room he was ready to go! I have no words to describe the impeccable service Ralph provided for us. His energy in playing the saxophone was through the roof. He is beautiful sounding and very polished in his art. We will definitely hire Ralph Russell in the future for our events. Thanks so much, Ralph!

Thank you for such kind words. It was a magical night. I was honored to be part of the celebration. I look forward to seeing you again. - Ralph
