Ken Ulansey -- Philly's Dr. Sax
Welcome to the web site of Ken Ulansey! Ken has built a reputation
as an outstanding musician (he plays sax and clarinet) and entertainer through
his warmth, virtuosity and the diversity of his repertoire. He brings
enthusiasm and quality to his performances and recordings, earning praise from
critics
and satisfied clients.
His wide range of musical tastes, from swing to classical, pop to world beat,
enables him to intrigue many different audiences, or to provide a fantastic
variety at any one event. His ensembles
range from two to 12-pieces, providing a quiet duo for a wedding ceremony, and
then, perhaps, a septet for the reception. Or, for concert settings, jazz
groups that draw on Zydeco, Stravinsky and Balkan beats. His ensemble includes
many of Philadelphia's outstanding musicians -- Grammy Award winners, full-time
professionals who have played with the greats of jazz or the world-famous
Philadelphia Orchestra. His vocalists have thrilled audiences around the world.
Ken has won awards and grants in performance or composition from The Pennsylvania Council for the Arts and The Philadelphia Music Foundation, among many others. His band received a citation as Best Party Band in Philly from Philadelphia Magazine.
Say Michael and Lisa Kleiner: "We wanted a variety of music for our wedding so there would be something for everyone. Ken and the Ensemble fit the bill. They could play Klezmer, the Jewish freilachs, Motown, Big Band, Swing, Rock. Guests said they never saw so much dancing. When the young children of cousins started dancing, the keyboard player grabbed an accordion and joined Ken on the dance floor to play for them. Ken's modesty, sense of humor and pleasant manner made him easy to work with."
Whether for concert or party, dancing or listening, the group is delighted to work with you to create just the atmosphere you desire. This web site is designed to help you find the sorts of music for your occasion...so have fun exploring!
