It was a real pleasure to perform for the Mother’s Day brunch! Staff members treated us like family. We would love to do it again!

What to expect

Take Three plays jazz, pop, Latin and funk music for parties. We have over thirty years of experience performing the perfect music for wedding receptions and private events.

We work with wedding planners to provide great songs for wedding ceremonies, for example "At Last", "The Way You Look Tonight", and "La Vie En Rose".

We bring our own microphone and PA system to our engagements. We are happy to provide a microphone for speeches and announcements.

We can play music from your playlist over our PA system when needed.

About

Take Three is a jazz organ trio with a thirty-year history of performing and recording together. Our influences range from classic jazz organ trios like Jimmy Smith and Dr. Lonnie Smith, as well as modern groups like the Larry Goldings Trio.

Additional booking notes

We provide everything we need to perform. We only need one power outlet and an area of about 6'x8' to set up our instruments. We prefer to arrive at the venue a couple of hours early to avoid loading in our instruments while guests are arriving.
