Description

String-Sessions performs feel good Jazz without the clichies and overplayed selections from smooth jazz radio. We integrate Blues and Bossa selections from Jobim to Miles including Latin Jazz artists. Latin artists like. . . Emuir Deodato, Cal Tjader, Sergio Mendes, Santana, War, Marc Antoine to Craig Chaquico to name a few. String Sessions also features Soul & Urban Jazz and many 60's jazz selections for dancing or just sitting back and listening. For the traditional Jazz aficionados our repertoire includes Jazz standards from Ramsey Lewis, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, Eddie Harris and Wes Montgomery. For dancing or the more modern music fan we cover some of the latest Smooth Jazz from Peter White, Rick Braun, Joyce Cooling, Chris Botti, Jeff Goub, Chris Standring and Fourplay. Performing as a trio, quartet or quintet you'll always find the sessions smooth sweet and satisfying.

Feedback

  • They were a very well organized group. Enjoyable music! Everyone complemented them the next day. Overall we would defenitely hire them again for a party! JOb well done! Thanks! -- Jennifer S, Jacksonville, FL, 12/1/2007
  • EXCELLENT!!! -- Merideth R, Lecanto, FL, 11/17/2007
  • We were so pleased with String Sessions. Dennis, the band leader, couldn't have been more professional. At the wedding, our family kept asking about the band and how we found them. They sounded AMAZING. They were the hit of the night. I can't wait until we have another formal event that they can be a part of. My only regret is that we didn't videotape the wedding so that we can re-live those great musical moments. -- Nicole P, Melbourne, FL, 6/30/2007
