Bobby Streng is an active saxophonist, composer, and arranger of all genres 
of music.  With his new group, the Saxemble, Bobby 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 constructed is tight and well rehearsed, it is the uniqueness of 
each player’s voice that will impress audiences most.  The Saxemble boasts 
eight talented and experienced members: Bobby Streng, Pat Seymour, Mark 
Keim, Mike Hiemstra, Dan Puccio on saxophones, Jonathan Ovalle on keyboards, 
Matt Henninger on bass and Nick Adams on drums.  With their unique sound, 
scores of original music, and an ultra-high energy live show, the Bobby 
Streng Saxemble breathes a new life into the world of instrumental music.

Bobby performed under Maestro Leonard Slatkin for the 2006 Grammy Award 
winning Noxos Records release of William Bolcom’s epic: “Songs of Innocence 
and Experience.”  As a member of the Larry Teal Saxophone Quartet, he 
recorded a live version of Michael Colgrass’ “Urban Requiem:” released in 
2004 on Equilibrium Records.  As a jazz and pop artist, Bobby has 
collaborated and performed with artists such as Hank Jones, Chris Potter, 
Sunny Wilkinson, Terrel Stafford, and the Ojay’s.  His Big Band 
compositional collaboration with jazz piano legend Hank Jones for the 2004 
University of Michigan Jazz festival was released in 2005 on University 
Records.
