Description

Hello, my name is Rick Holland. I have several groups within my company that play anything from Corporate Events to wedding receptions to Jazz Festivals. We play mostly Jazz and Swing, but recently have expanded our 6 and 10 piece bands to include R&B sets for listening and dancing entertainment. I will be including some pictures and tracks within this web-site. The R&B sets are not recorded as of yet, but will be soon.

My groups range in size from 2 to 11 members.

My groups now feature vocalist Nancy Kelly. She's a world renowned performer, who's won international awards with Downbeat magazine, among many others. My sextet has 25 new scores for her and my group. We also feature her with my Little Big Band (10 piece) featuring the arrangements of Calvin Custer. Nancy can also be heard with my quartet or trio.

Please let me know if I can be of service to you.

Feedback

  • The band was excellent, there were some breakdowns in communication between the band/caterer/wedding party vis a vis some of the scheduled items but i don't think anyone noticed. I was upset that the one song I requested the band learn in one of my earliest emails was not accommodated but they did play it on an ipod so I guess it worked out ok. They were very nice to let my husband play the bass on a few songs. They must get "my cousin plays whatever" so often but in this case my husband is an accomplished bassist so they let him play. -- Susan M, Pittsford, NY, 7/19/2008
