Chris Mitchell Jazz – Begging for Sax Tour

The seductive sounds of Saxophone XXXtraordinaire: Taking Jazz, R&B, and Soul to Another Level

This isn’t background music. This is front-row, spotlight-on, pulse-racing sax seduction. Chris Mitchell doesn’t just play the horn—he commands it.

He brings the fire of Coltrane, the edge of Prince, and the souldeep storytelling of Marvin Gaye, all channeled through one instrument. When Chris steps onstage, he’s not performing… he’s testifying. Every note is a confession, a celebration, a release.

Fans don’t just watch his shows – they feel them. They’re on their feet, vibing in the aisles, hands in the air, begging the night not to end. And by the time the last note fades, everyone in the room shares one truth: They’re all begging for sax. 

Chris Mitchell Jazz has performed on stages ranging from House of Blues to the Variety Playhouse and the Uptown Theater, and at festivals across the globe. His viral performances, genre-melting albums (The Chris Mitchell Experience, I Found Forever), and magnetic stage presence have crowned him one of the most electrifying modern artists in live music today.

There’s jazz… and then there’s Chris Mitchell Jazz.
