Mad Sax Big Band

Founded in 2010 and led musically by saxophonist Paco Márquez, Mad Sax Big Band consists of 13 saxophones, a rhythm section featuring drums, bass, and keyboards, and vocalists Yoio Cuesta and Paco Benítez. Eschewing traditional brass instruments like trumpets and trombones, the band uses eight saxophones to cover brass parts, creating a distinctive sound that highlights the richness and versatility of the saxophone. Presenting their Jukebox Melodies programme, they perform a diverse repertoire spanning early swing, 1940s and 50s big band classics, Latin numbers, memorable musical themes, and rock.
