   About Bobby Streng
BOBBY STRENG SAXOMBLE!: LIVE AT THE FIREFLY: the debut album is out! Check us out at www.cdbaby.com/bobbystreng **********************************************************

Based in Ann Arbor, I'm an active saxophonist, composer, and arranger of all genres of music. Since getting my masters in saxophone from the University of Michigan in 2004 (studies with Donald Sinta), I have worked as a freelance musician in southeast Michigan. In addition to playing with great Southeast Michigan groups, I run my own ensembles, such as.....

**********************************************************

BOBBY STRENG SAXOMBLE:
With his new group, the Saxomble, Bobby Streng fuses his backgrounds in classical, funk, jazz, and rock into an exciting live experience fueled by the sound and improvisation of a powerful five man saxophone front. While the ensemble that he has assembled is tight and well rehearsed, it is the uniqueness of each players voice that will impress audiences most.
The Saxomble boasts eight talented and experienced members: (Bobby Streng, Pat Seymour, Mark Kieme, Mike Hiemstra, Dan Puccio saxophones; Jonathan Ovalle keyboards; Matt Henninger bass; Nick Adams drums).

With their unique sound, scores of original music, and an ultra-high energy live show, the Bobby Streng Saxomble breathes a new life into the world of instrumental music.

What do you think of my 80s playlist?


I found a "Best 1,000 singles of the 1980s" box set and have been studying all week.

Ill be teaching a class on 'The Quintessential 80s syth-based track and its relationship to Chick Corea's innovations in the 1970s'

I think i might have to make it an online course though... Dont have many seats over at my place...

Ill e-mail you the syllabus if you are interested ;)

Hope you are having a good one
