LA Jazz Piano Trio
The LA Jazz Trio is one of our most popular size bands, and for good reason. This jazz piano trio (saxophone, piano, and acoustic bass) is perfect for an intimate setting, such as a corporate event, private party, wedding reception, wedding ceremony, or any type of event that requires nice, upbeat background music.
The band keeps the music upbeat and lively without ever being too loud for your guests to talk at a normal volume. They are extremely versatile, and can play all styles from swing standards, Latin, salsa, and smooth jazz, to cover band dance tunes.
If you're looking for something with a bit more energy for an outdoor event, check out our LA Jazz Quartet. Or, if you have a specific event in mind, just let us know and we'll find an ensemble that's right for you.
