Description
T.J. Graham is an elegant and charismatic jazz vocalist who brings her Memphis-based jazz, blues and swing music to Atlanta, GA and the Southeast to energize private parties, cocktail hours, dinners, company parties, and jazz clubs. Accompanied by her keyboardist, "Keyboard Dave," she focuses on the classic standards of Fitzgerald, Ellington, Holiday, Vaughn, Sinatra, King-Cole and Krall, along with a mix of Blues, Broadway, Latin Jazz, R & B, and Pop hits. With 5 CD's to her credit, her infectious style and stage presence have earned her the praise of jazz enthusiasts and critics alike. Robert D. Rusch of Cadence Jazz Magazine says that "she is a jazz singer without fanfare or gimmick, who uses understatement and considerable subtlety. She chooses her material and addresses it, not with competition, but with support and clear delineation, producing a natural partnership in her interpretation and reflections. It all appears so effortless, but talent and sincerity should."
Keyboard Dave's superb keyboard stylings have entertained audiences in the New York/ New Jersey areas for 25 years before he relocated to Atlanta, GA and has now taken up residence as one of Atlanta's best party and wedding pianists. Playing acoustic piano, he'll make romantic love songs come alive with feeling and emotion and when the occasion calls for it, he'll turn up the volume on his multiple electronic keyboards and turn into a one-man-band with a wonderful rhythm section, perfect for slow or fast dancing. Together with TJ Graham, this awesome duo's experience and musicianship has brought top-notch classic jazz music to the Atlanta, GA music scene.
TJ and Dave play the right mix of instrumental piano & vocal songs to keep your atmosphere lively, yet they maintain the appropriate volume level never overpowering the location, so there is plenty of room for your conversations over the music. Through the magic of midi file accompaniments, they also have quite an extensive repertoire of music that can be danced to, whether it is big band swing, latin, rock & roll, r&b or pop hits, they play it all for your listening or dancing pleasure!
Why invest a large amount of money to hire a full band when TJ and Dave can provide you with very affordable soothing dinner music or lively dance music that adds style and joyous ambiance without breaking the bank?
They can bring a small sound PA for use with a provided piano, or bring a portable piano and sound system that allows them to perform at indoor or outdoor locations without pianos.
