Smooth Grooves
I play smooth jazz guitar including songs from Joyce Cooling, The Rippingtons, as well as songs from The Eagles, Santana, Earth Wind and Fire and more. I can add a live sax player to form a duo for an additional $150. I play with backing tracks that I have created that include drums, bass and keyboards. I have my own cd you can listen to at itunes and (link hidden) called "First Flight."

March 5, 2023Jack and Jonathan were amazing! Not only punctual, kind and flexible but amazing musicians. The guests, bride and groom let me know how much they loved and appreciated the music. The volume was ideal and the ambiance they created allowed for a perfect wedding reception. Book them now! You won't regret it!! Bonus! Jonathan is an amazing D.J.

Price range: $250 – $500 per event
I play smooth jazz/rock music along with my own backing tracks. I play instrumental music with some backing vocals from songs like the Eagles, Tom Petty, Santana, Earth, Wind and Fire and some smooth jazz songs from the Rippingtons, Acoustic Alchemy and other smooth jazz music. Perfect for background music at a party or small gathering. I am originally from the east cost, a graduate of Syracuse University and then many years living in NYC.
