The band is based around a 3 piece rhythm section that can itself play lovely swinging jazz and latin music but can add more instruments or a singer to create a bigger more varied sound.
The trio of piano, bass and drums are in big demand on the Scottish Jazz scene. They were the rhythm section for Fat Sams Band and at present play with King Louis and the Primas, Remembering Acker and lots of singers.
We add the great accordionist Gregor Lowrey from ceilidh Minogue to the trio to create a swinging ceilidh sound. Often a fiddle too is added..
We can add to the trio with a singer or a sax or trumpet player playing swing, jump jive, latin american or quiet mood jazz.
Variety is the name of the game. We can play background music for receptions and corporate events, ceilidhs, Stage Shows or Weddings.
Ideal for drinks receprions or during dinners allowing guests to listen and still have conversations.
