Description

Oh La La! is the perfect band to serve as either a soothing backdrop for an intimate evening with friends (soft acoustic jazz, chanson française, 30's and 40's swing, bossa-nova ) or a sultry soundtrack of classic Soul and Blues from the 50's and 60's.

Comprised of some of the top jazz and world musicians in the New York and New-England area, Oh La La! Sets itself apart from other bands in its stylistic versatility and ability to adapt to your specific taste, budget, volume and space limitations. In any configuration, ranging in size anywhere from duo to septet , the band retains its sense of elegance and class that guarantees your event's performance to feel timeless.

We have a very extensive repertoire in multiple genres, but are happy to fulfil any specific song request for your special evening. We can also try to emulate a particular recording that you love, or even accompany one of your party's guests in performing a prepared piece! We specialize in adding a personal touch, customizing each performance to best fit the mood while retaining our vintage look (retro dress and suits, double-bass, vintage microphone).

Nous parlons français, et pouvons aussi jouer toute une soiree de chanson française…laissez-nous vous transporter dans une nuit parisienne!
