Saxophonist Bob Reynolds (pictured), known for his association with hit-making singer/songwriter John Mayer, will be in St. Louis to present a free master class at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday, November 12 at Saxquest, 2114 Cherokee St.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Reynolds also has performed or recorded with other well-known musicians such as Michael Buble, Nellie McKay, Richard Bona, Tom Harrell and Brian Blade. The Los Angeles resident played in the house band for NBC's Bonnie Hunt Show and has received four ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Awards.
