Led by saxophonist Cynthia Mullis, the band performs acoustic jazz with sophisticated style. Experienced in the jazz scene of New York City, Cynthia brings a taste of Big Apple jazz to Seattle, playing saxophone with an East Coast flair and a West Coast sensibility.
New York Confidential is a sophisticated change from the average cheesy-sounding variety band: no synthesizers, no out-of-tune singer, no Louie Louie. Our specialty is providing listenable and danceable acoustic jazz. It is our primary concern that the music fit the setting in attitude, style, ambience and sound level. Our repertoire covers the full spectrum of jazz and can be easily customized to your preferences and tastes.
The band is available to perform in a variety of settings. New York Confidential consists of saxophone, acoustic bass and jazz guitar, with vocals and tasteful drums to add extra pizzazz. A duo or trio can provide background music for cocktails, dinners, and parties, performing cool jazz standards and bossa novas. Add drums and vocals to create a lively party atmosphere with music from the R&B side of the jazz spectrum.
