For occasions that call for something extraordinary

The whole band.
No shortcuts.

Two vocalists, five saxes, four trumpets, four trombones and a full rhythm section, all under the direction of our musical director. A lot of musicians? Absolutely! That’s the point

And no, they’re not all there just to make things louder. They’re there for the possibilities. The punch of a full brass section, the richness of five saxes, the groove of a live rhythm section and those moments when the entire band kicks in together. It’s the kind of sound you don’t just hear. You feel it. If you’re going to have a live band, why do things by halves?

The guest list changes.
The standard doesn’t.
