A true professional

What can I say about Yuri? Wonderful tone, amazing player, and a true professional. He handled the horn lines I had pre-written well, and during the solo/improvisation section....wow. He was on fire. Thank you Yuri!

Such an honor to work with him

Such an honor to work with a great talent like Yuri. I appreciate all the hard work he puts in to get the track perfect. You can trust he's going to give you incredible Saxophone solos or a whole Sax section. Can't wait to release these songs so people can hear all of the amazing musicians from Musiversal!

Incredible saxophonist

What an incredible saxophonist! Beautiful tone, brought lots of really spot-on improvisations that lent such beauty and depth to the song.

Absolutely amazing at improv

I came in hoping for a King Curtis vibe...Yuri gave me King Curtis and Charlie Parker. Yuri is absolutely amazing at improv and can seriously wail. I'm going to have a hard time choosing takes he gave me so much incredible material. And, he is a really nice guy to work with as well! I just booked 2 more sessions!

A real pleasure to work with!

Yuri's tenor sax add just the right amount of grace notes, emphasized attack and smooth vibrato to give my song a new level of style and soul. I also really appreciate how quickly through a rather lengthy composition, getting through a 5 minute song in just one session. A real pleasure to work with!

Scot Byrd

A joy to work with

Yuri is a joy to work with and I'm extremely happy with the performance he gave. He elevated the song with his agility, timbre and responsiveness to my input. I can't wait to work with Yuri again on several of my other projects!
