Company description
Alvin Hayes, Jr. plays all saxophones, flutes, clarinets and other members of the Woodwind family. He hails from Long Beach, California. As to his musical background, he remarked “my Mother and Father were involved in music, so I guess that I was destined to play something.

His first instrument was the violin. “I can remember the violin, age 9… “I had an aunt”, he goes on to say. “And she had this instrument and my Mother wanted to get me involved in music.

He was giving private lesson. Soon after, young Alvin began studying classical saxophone and flute with Clark Crandall. It was with Crandall that Alvin received his early technical foundation and appreciation of all types of music.Reviews
