Wonderful Trio - Perfect for Our Event

Klein's Fine Times jazz trio was a wonderful addition to our event. They did a great job playing background music and hearing our requests on volume and pacing. Their music was wonderful. Communication with them was very easy. Highly recommend!

Great Band For Our Holiday Party!

Held a Holiday Union Party in Youngstown. Klein's Fine Times, with guitar, bass, drums and trombone played the perfect music to set the holiday mood. Had never had a band at our union party before, but members were impressed and happy to have a band to play during the party. Great sound! Not too loud, great music selections, and very nice and professional! Exactly what I was looking for in a band to play our party!

What to expect

You can expect a group of professional players who provide low key and relevant music to your event.
Group size typically ranges from a duo to a quartet but can also be augmented at your request.
We pull our song material from books of Jazz Standards as well as from jazz arrangements of more recent popular tunes.

About

I am a freelance bassist who studied jazz in college. Through my study and work, I have met many fine jazz musicians. It is my pleasure to call together a collaboration of musicians to share our talents with you.
