Why hire The Mark Pedigo Trio?
We play straight-ahead jazz along with some original compositions. Headed by Mark Pedigo (piano) the group includes Matthew Milunksi (drums) and Nicholas Shea (double bass), all of whom have extensive jazz experience. Upon request, we can bring in sax, trumpet, guitar &/or vocals.
Mark also plays solo piano (jazz, classical) for e.g., weddings, ceremonies and cocktail hour.
Terrific jazz performers
The Mark Pedigo Trio was swingng and professional. Mark made an extra trip to check out the venue the day before the gig. He arrived on time the day of the gig. His trio performed jazz standards and up beat tunes that the audience enjoyed. Well done! I highly recommend this group.
