Derrick Feole, originally from Boston has been involved in music for most of his adult life.  First playing the piano and then studying the saxophone since 1987.  His concentration of studies in the beginning was classical and composition and then evolved to Jazz, Blues and Funk. 

At a young age Derrick first started to learn from his Grandfather, Angelo.  Angelo taught him the basics of music theory and reading and then moved on to more complex studies in his early teens.  In addition to learning from his grandfather he also studied with Joe Viola (former sax player with the original Glen Miller Orchestra 1929-1931).  While studying with Mr. Viola, Derrick was able to convince him to sell him his 1931 Selmer Tenor Saxophone that Derrick still uses now.  During these years Derrick also studied with Henley Douglas Jr. of the Heavy Metal Horns and Boston Horns (USA), and also studied weekly at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.  These studies strengthened his musical abilities and also introduced him to Classical Jazz, Blues, and Funk.

Currently, Derrick plays solo jazz and blues at various clubs, hotels, and restaurants, and also pure improvisation with House music and DJ’s within Switzerland.
