Our Performance Service Mission… 

To provide music for your casual or corporate function, dinner club, party or special occasion!

Why hire an entity otherwise known as a "wedding band"?

You know, choosing music for your festivity, dinner-club, or party...can be a scary thing sometimes, but it doesn't have to be! -- because we've got all the bases covered for you! We have expertise in performing new age jazz, "dinner jazz" (bossa, samba, swing, etc.), adult contemporary, the cool sounds of Rhythm 'n' Blues, and even deliver rock influences when circumstances call for it.  (....more)

We provide value to your occasion or venue! We add a touch of class...just the kind of ambience (sonically and visually) that is succinctly appropriate for the job.

Back to Home

We're playing Grover Washington, Herbie Hancock, Jobim, Santana -- all the greats! Our contact info can be found here.

No wonder this band's vocalist was invited to perform with Tower of Power in Lake Tahoe, Nevada!  We're talking about that quality sultry singing voice of Mr. Cliff Lopes.  He also plays drums for our groovin' rhythm section -- the Smooth Jazz Ensemble's drum and bass make up a rhythm section that locks up to tight, infectious, feel-good groves. -- fun!

This very hot section includes the smooth jazz progressions of keyboardist, Tom Wider, a veteran of the San Jose Jazz Festival and Harrah's Club in Reno. This biologist-turned-pianist proves to be one formidable jazz cat!

And then there's some sexy smooth tones from that sleepy sax blown by Jonathan Whitney. The sound from this sax man bears witness of the influences of Stan Getz, Paul Desmond, as well as traces of Miles Davis, Herb Albert, and Astrud Gilberto. 

Here are some things that other people are saying.

For more info on each of the ensemble members, simply look to the images in the left margin and click on their friendly faces.    :)

So steal a couple of minutes and review our info and listen to our samples.  You'll be glad you did.
