The Queen City Jazz Trio is composed of 3 long time professionals. Individually we have worked with some of the finest musicians including Buddy Rich, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Frank Wess, Chuck Jackson, Jim McNeely, and many others. We play jazz standards, bossa novas, and smooth jazz. Our sound is perfect for corporate events, receptions, galas, etc. Our core group is keyboard, bass, and conga drums. We can add a singer and/or a sax player if your situation calls for that. If you want some DJ music mixed in with the live music for dancing we have that covered as well. We provide a good PA system.
I’d hire them again. The music really set the tone for the event.
We loved every bit of working with the Queen City Jazz Trio! Bob was so responsive, answered all our questions, and gave us really helpful suggestions of songs to consider (including samples!). We ended up deciding to add a vocalist and a saxophonist, and they suggested great people who integrated perfectly with the core group members. We engaged QCJT for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they played a mix of jazz standards and bossa nova instrumentals. I can't even begin to describe how great their music turned out - the music ended up being one of our favorite things about our wedding and we are so thankful to Bob and the trio for pulling it all together. They are professional, prepared, and very very capable. I highly recommend them for any event.
Our group truly enjoyed the music and the casual, fun atmosphere this talented trio created!
These are professional and gentlemen. My event was a formal affair and the trio was in tuxedos. Music was exactly what I requested. Thank you for this connection and look forward to using this site for future events.

We are not a dance band, but you can certainly dance to our music. The type of music we provide is perfect for receptions or events where a light jazz band will add a touch of class.

Thank you for such a wonderful evening and special birthday celebration. The music selection was fabulous. The rhythms and harmonies were tight.

Thank you again for arranging the concert the other week with the Queen City Jazz Trio and Nicci Canada. Although I was out of town that week, my colleagues that went said it was just wonderful. We heard lots of compliments from our residents, and know that they thoroughly enjoyed it.
