We are the perfect addition to a cocktail party where music needs to be present, but not overbearing. We're able to read an audience's needs and respond with the right song choice for the moment.
About
From a mambo-infused take on Nat King Cole’s Nature Boy to updated arrangements of The Beatles, Steely Dan and Sting, the music of Jim E Leggs Trio offers an upbeat, fun and varied mix of jazz, funk and classics that will lift your spirits. The music is the thing, with vocals on some tunes and on others their instruments tell the story. Jim E Leggs Trio’s jams on well-known tunes provide unexpected turns along the way.
Jim E Leggs is comprised of alumni from various well-known projects in the Western NY region, including Miche Fambro, Heroes For Ghosts (A Pink Floyd Tribute), Moondance, and the Gate Swingers.
- Trio lineup:
Pete Halliday: keyboards, vocals
Frank Minuto: drums, percussion, vocals
John Baccoli: basses, vocals
p.s: And yes, the name of the band comes from the Seinfeld reference about Kramer's girlfriend's restless leg syndrome, otherwise known, according to Kramer, as the "Jimmy Leg".
Additional booking notes
We bring our own professional, audiophile-quality sound system and can have everything up and running within an hour!
