Description
We are one of the DC area's most popular jazz bands, and have appeared at venues like The Smithsonian and The Kennedy Center, as well as popular jazz clubs like Twins and Extra Virgin.
We offer ensemble sizes to suit your event - from solo guitar or piano up to full jazz quintets.
We can create or recreate atmospheres ranging from a "Gatsby-like" pool party to a New York City Jazz club. From Ellington's swinging "Take the A Train" to Herbie Hancock's funky and danceable "Chameleon" and everything in between -- our goal is to deliver classic quality live Jazz to our clients!
References: References are available upon request and many of our clients have agreed to chat by email if you wish!
