Highly Recommend

Alec assembled the perfect jazz quartet to play our corporate event. He was communicative throughout the process, and all musicians were professional, skilled, and very pleasant. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

What to expect

I put together bands to meet the needs of the event. As such, I can meet many different needs.

Need soft background music for an upscale event? I can provide solo piano music to create just the right atmosphere.

Need something with a little more energy? How about a jazz piano trio with drum and bass accompaniment to liven up the mood.

Want to put on a show and get people dancing? How about a 6 piece funk band playing modern hits from Michael Jackson and D'Angelo?

That's the great thing about jazz musicians - we are so flexible!

About

- I've devoted so much of my life to playing music that I even got a doctorate in jazz piano!
- I'm a native Angeleno, but I've lived all over the state, and even in Texas for the DMA.
- My musicians and I are so talented we can play loads of styles: mostly jazz but also funk, salsa, soul. (Also lo-fi, pop, country, and bluegrass if you ask nicely enough 😊)

Additional booking notes

Unless you happen to have an acoustic piano on site already, the only thing I need is electricity to power my keyboard and amp(s).

Set list

The truth is, we can play too many tunes to list here. That's the thing about jazz musicians: we can play ~aaaanything~ (almost). If it's a jazz song, we probably know it. Other material we can learn quickly.

Influences and inspiration

Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson, Chick Corea, Sullivan Fortner
Greyboy Allstars, Stevie Wonder, The Meters, Jamiroquai
Eddie Palmieri, Cal Tjader, Etta James, Marvin Gaye

Setup requirements

Depends on the instrumentation, but usually we just need one power outlet. We can schlep and set up all our own gear.
