We are friends and we love one another and our clients love to see that in us as well. We come with a set list but our musicians knows hundreds of songs, both old and new and we are quick on our feet. Unlike some other bands, we do take request. If you wanna make sure your request is known by all just ask us well before the gig date and we will make an effort to cater to your song choice. I love Jazz. Some of our clients just like an intiimate setting with me and a piano or maybe just a 3 piece. Some love the whole band! It's all good to me and we get in where we fit in. Clients love that we are so versatile. Call us to take you on Jazz Cruise in your mind or a Fantastic Voyage. Don't forget , on R&B and Funk gigs, we always find a way of throwing in some Mowtown and Latin songs as well. Selena and Santana are our favorites.
