Overview

The Apollo Quartet has gained a well-deserved renown for their hepped-up, honest and eccentric interpretation of the Great American Songbook. Fiery renditions of favorites from Cole, Billie, Frank and Nat are the matchsticks to light up any evening, and classic takes on more modern favorites will keep everyone on their toes. The Apollo Quartet is about more than sentiment. They’re about beat. From the croon to the thump, its a heart that moves. They’re giving audiences around the world a take home smile, If not a few sore feet.

high caliber performers

They were communicative and engaging. James arrived with the trio early in order to survey the scene and set up for optimal sound quality. The evening's musical program progressed beautifully, each set better than the previous one. Our guests were delighted with the music, and there was no question that the party was "made" by the caliber of the trio. Many thanks to the guys, we hope to see you again soon!

terrific band, perfect music

Terrific. All of the comments that I received throughout the night and in the office the following week raved about the the The Apollo Trio. JW and his troupe played non-stop the entire evening and provided the perfect style of music that we were looking for. True professionals.

Just what we wanted!

JW and his group were prompt, professional, and accommodating. Not to mention entertaining. The music was wonderful - just what we wanted for our event. I will think of them first for anything similar in the future.
