Why hire Myra Murphy Jazz?
I am a Professional Jazz Pianist/Jazz Vocalist who is currently performing in a Jazz Duo or Jazz Trio format. A New York native, I am currently living in Bucks County
and performing mainly in Princeton and the New York
City areas. As an Award Winning Juilliard Graduate with a Master of Science Degree, I am also prepared to perform in a Classical Duo. Both Duos and the Trio have performed extensively to great reviews. As both Pianist and Vocalist who is equally adept in both mediums, my group can offer great versatility. With the addition of Guitar or Saxophone, my Group can also offer a Quartet.
Myra and her bassist, Josh, were great. Everyone at our party said we'd have to get them back to do this again. They tailored their sets to the birthday person's wishes and were very professional. What a relaxing eveing. They made us feel very F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Response from Myra Murphy Jazz:
We really enjoyed playing for this party. The guests
were very knowledgable and sophisticated about music
and the arts.
