Live Performance Overview
Mango's is a six piece, all-star band, with Trumpet, Sax, Guitar/Vocals, Bass, Keyboard, and Drums. Music played includes Frank Sinatra, Al Green, James Brown, Latin Jazz, Swing, Blues, etc, etc, etc...ALL GREAT!!<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
GRILLE 66 performance is as a Solo Sax with own background music. It is a low key, elegant, mostly background music performance, with some higher-energy features as the night progresses. I play a wide variety of styles and musical eras, similar to Mango's, with emphasis on Smooth Jazz.<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Performances with the female vocalist are always well recieved, in part, due to the interaction between the saxophone and vocal, as well as vocal harmony. This set-up is always excellent for concert or dance settings.<><><><><><><><>><><><><><><>
Come and enjoy great music presented in a great atmosphere!!

5 - 360 minutes
Stage/Setup Requirements:
- Electricity
Set/Song/Sequence List:
Songs By Category- John Michalak sax/vocals
This list represents over four hours of dance music, plus a full set of dinner music. Also, I am able to acquire and learn just about any style of music and/or song(s), and add those songs to my repertoire. I would be happy to do so to satisfy specific musical preferences.
