Alamance Jazz Collective

Fundamentally, the style of our music is jazz, meaning that you can expect a sound influenced by its various subgenres like bebop, hard-bop, swing, blues, Latin, ballads, and modal jazz, though we certainly dabble in the realm of funk and gospel as well. Many of our songs originate from the Great American Songbook and compositions by the Jazz Greats of the 20th century, but also more recent selections and originals.

To get a better idea of our sound, check out the videos at the top of this page (the first four are live performances in gig environments, and the fifth is a studio recording session featuring high-definition audio).

Our NC-based but internationally hailing musicians specialize in jazz performance. This includes but is not limited to the styles of the great American musicians Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Thelonious Monk, among many others. Our services have been provided to businesses, individuals, events, parties, weddings, bars, concert halls, coffee shops, country clubs, and other venues throughout (but not limited to) Greensboro, High Point, Elon, Burlington, Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Cary, and Sanford. Years of gigging and performing experience give us the ability to adapt our sound in any situation, to communicate reliably with clients, and to conduct our business professionally.

-Various other private events (weddings, receptions, parties, birthdays, cultural parties, etc.)

The most important thing is for us to have electrical outlets near the performance area. We bring all other necessary equipment ourselves, including amplifiers/speakers, instruments, music stands, vocalist microphones, and necessary cables.

We also usually ask that drinking water be available for each musician (glasses, bottles, nearby water fountains, etc, are all fine).

Musicians who require more setup (keyboardists, drummers, and guitarists) typically arrive up to an hour before the beginning of the set. If needed, the band/individuals may be asked to arrive earlier or later to fit the needs of the event.
