Wright of Way Music
Overview
I play a wide variety of music on the piano, specializing in jazz styles, pop and R&B tunes, light classical repertoire and gospel/sacred music.
I also have my trio (piano, bass, drums) available for engagements which can be augmented with either vocals or horns as desired.

August 8, 2019Jay Jazz is Awesome
Jay was fabulous, we hired Jay to play the piano for my daughter’s wedding ceremony and it was beyond perfect. Jay is warm, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our day go beautifully. He has amazing talent and truly is one of the best pianist i have ever heard. Thank you Jay Jazz for all you did to make our day perfect!

April 9, 2025Jay goes above and beyond, made our day extra special!!
Since beginning to work with Jay, my husband and I have not stopped raving. It all began when we had an eclectic hand picked list of songs we wanted included in our day. As music lovers we wanted to include several film scores, classic American Songbook tunes, the Beatles, Oasis, Beach Boys and even Keane. Jay DELIVERED. He found every piece of music we requested and made sure it was exactly what we wanted for our day. He went above and beyond, he sent us Mp3 recordings of our chosen processional songs so we could practice our timing, traveled out of town for our wedding, and gave us the most special moments on our day as music means so much to us. Jay was enthusiastic, professional, and the amount of PURE TALENT is hard to describe with words. He helped us feel confident, was flexible, and accommodating. We cannot say thank you enough!! I will forever cherish listening to Jay play as I anxiously awaited my walk down the aisle and his music helping me feel calm and comfortable. He provided that special touch, that elevated element we were seeking. He is worth every single penny and MORE! Cannot recommend highly enough!!!
