2023 Cloudvocal sax jam invited an arranger from the West Coast of the United States to create the event's backing tracks, allowing everyone to improvise and engage in performances in a big band style. The event also invited the operations director of an online saxophone teaching platform and a well-known saxophone e-commerce site to serve on the judging panel, selecting the best performances from participants around the world.
Top 3 winners
The competition first went through an internal selection process at Cloudvocal, where a total of 8 performers were selected to enter the final round. After that, Cloudvocal invited SaxSchool Online, a well-known online learning channel, and the content director of the UK’s largest saxophone retailer, SAX, to judge the performances of these 8 finalists. They assessed each performer based on tone, improvisational development, and overall execution. The combined scores from these categories determined the top three winners of the event.
