What is the instrumentation of the band?
We are most often asked to be an 8-piece band (Keyboards, Sax, Bass, Drums, Guitar, Trumpet, 2 Female Vocalists) although we can easily scale both up and down from that size, depending on the styles of music that your party will encompass. Frequent Add-Ons: A third horn fleshes out the horn section for Swing and Funk material. With the growing popularity of “World Music,” many people have been requesting our Percussionist — a specialist in Brazilian music, he’s comfortable with pretty much any tradition we throw at him. Another special addition: our “World Music” Vocalist/Guitarist. She is very versatile, singing in 10 languages: Sambas in Portuguese, Edith Piaf in French, Cole Porter style standards as well as singing and teaching Israeli Dances and East European Freilachs. In addition, in the past, we’ve added violin, tuba, blues harmonica, accordion, banjo …. So feel free to let your imagination go!
