Melissa Aldana is the 16th person on our saxophone advent calendar and the youngest saxophonists on the list.
Melissa was born in Chile in 1988, starting on the Alto Sax aged just six! She moved onto the Tenor Sax in her teens after hearing the sound of Sonny Rollins, (her first tenor was her grandfather’s Selmer Mark VI.)
Destined to be one of the most important jazz saxophonists of the 21st Century, start listening to Melissa today!
