We’ve been together since 2001, playing top quality jazz to a wide variety of audiences throughout the South West. They have played for select parties of just 20 people up to groups of over 500 people, at venues such as the English Riviera Centre, Powderham Castle and the Imperial and Grand Hotels in Torquay. Here is a short biog:
This outfit plays the perfect background music for meals and drinks receptions, but can also play a more prominent role if required. This saxophone led group play a sophisticated selection of jazz and swing standards made famous by jazz greats such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and the Dave Brubeck Quartet. They play many songs from the great song writers of the 30's to the 50's, such as Jimmy Van Heusen, George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart and Cole Porter. With the Quartet some well chosen songs outside of jazz, played in a jazz style, are also possible (see play list). The appropriate sized group for your event depends on a number of factors, including budget, fullness of sound and the size of your venue. We will happily help you decide which is the best sized group for your day.
The duo are also accomplished classical players. For weddings they can play a well chosen selection of classical music (clarinet and piano) to be played before and during the wedding service itself.
Available line ups:
Duo: Piano and sax
Trio: piano, sax and bass
Quartet: piano, sax, bass and drums
