The Marlene Jazz Ensemble will add that special "wow" to your event with unique and stylish jazz, be it a wedding, corporate function, holiday, or any kind of private party. We're versatile with our band size and instrumentation--available from solo, duo, trio to larger ensembles. Marlene is a pianist and vocalist and her ensemble performs a vocal and instrumental repertoire covering jazz, bossanova, rhythm and blues and originals, from Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra to Jobim, Sting and Aretha Franklin. Our instrumentation is varied. Most often, our clients choose a trio of piano/vocals, bass and either sax, guitar or drums, but we work with other instruments as well.
Thanks Marlene for great performance. All our guests were impressed by professionalism of your band and we had a great time

"Marlene and The Marlene Jazz Trio are absolutely fabulous! In the past two years, they have been enhancing my events with a wide range of talents, from their elegant background dinner music to their upbeat, fun loving entertainment. Marlene's vocals are amazing, in particular.
I would recommend Marlene and The Marlene Jazz Trio to anyone who is looking for exceptional entertainment, with a professional attitude, and at a reasonable price."

“The Marlene Jazz Ensemble was a perfect accompaniment to our gala on Saturday evening. It set a very relaxed tone for our guests and was not so loud as to make conversation difficult. We all enjoyed meeting the individual musicians and appreciate that we share similar concerns about the environment.”
