We are the ideal performers for any Gatsby-themed events, swing dances, prohibition-themed parties, 1920s parties, birthday parties, weddings and bar-mitzvahs, or any special event where classic jazz is desired.
Flexible lineups to meet your need and budget
We often play as a trio with Josh on horns, plus two guitars. We also often add a stand-up bass player for that classic swing sound. We can also call one of our great violinist friends, and we often add an accordion when we play French music. We are experienced professionals who know how to tailor our music to meet the needs and budgets of our clients.
