Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Our technical needs are quite simple. We require:

One standard electrical outlet to power our basic amplification equipment.
Sufficient space for a trio setup: This means enough room for a piano (if available at the venue), a saxophone player, and a double bass player. Ideally, this would be a small stage or a designated area where we can perform comfortably.
While we can bring a portable piano, having a well-maintained acoustic piano at the venue is a bonus. Having access to a piano allows us to showcase the full range of our sound and repertoire.
We are happy to adapt to different performance spaces and are always open to discussing any specific requirements you may have. Our goal is to work with you to ensure a smooth and successful performance.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We can certainly provide sound and lighting equipment to ensure your event has the technical support it needs. However, it's important to note that this is quoted separately from our performance fee. This allows us to tailor the equipment package to the specific size and needs of your venue, ensuring optimal sound quality and an appropriate lighting ambiance.

If you're interested in adding sound and lighting to your booking, we'd be happy to discuss your requirements and provide a detailed quote. We want to ensure all aspects of the event run smoothly, so please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.


What information do you require about a venue?

To ensure a seamless performance and the best possible experience for everyone, we appreciate some general information about the venue:

Location: Knowing the venue's address helps us with planning logistics, such as travel time and potential parking arrangements.
Space: Understanding the available space helps us determine if it accommodates our needs comfortably. We typically require enough room for a piano (if available at the venue), a saxophone player, and a double bass player.
Stage or performance area: Ideally, a small stage or designated area would be ideal for optimal performance visibility and sound quality.
Technical capabilities: Knowing if there's a readily available and well-maintained piano at the venue helps us decide whether to bring our portable one. Additionally, if you plan to utilize sound and lighting equipment, understanding the venue's existing capabilities can be helpful.
While this information is highly valuable, it's not strictly necessary for booking. If you


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

We are happy to provide a curated Spotify playlist to set the mood before and between our sets at no additional charge. This playlist will complement the style of our music and create a cohesive atmosphere for your event.

If you'd like a more interactive experience, we can also offer DJ services. This would involve a dedicated individual who can take requests, seamlessly mix music between sets, and adapt to the flow of the evening. However, it's important to note that DJ services would be quoted separately from our performance fee.

Please let us know if you're interested in discussing DJ services further. We're happy to tailor our offerings to your specific needs and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

These experiences have fostered a deep appreciation for the diverse energy each setting brings, and the opportunity to connect with passionate audiences in such varied environments is truly rewarding.

Instead of singling out specific gigs or venues, we choose to celebrate the cumulative experience of gracing these different stages. Each performance has contributed to our growth and allowed us to share our love for music with a wide range of audiences.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Our sound is heavily influenced by the timeless melodies of jazz classics and the smooth rhythms of bossa nova


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We all come from a strong foundation in classic music studies, which equipped us with a deep understanding of musicality and technical skills. But what truly ignited our passion and led us to start gigging was the shared love for the energy and creativity of the jazz scene. We found ourselves drawn to the collaborative spirit and freedom of expression that jazz clubs offered, and that's where we began our journey as a performing band.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We truly enjoy playing at both weddings and private events! It's especially rewarding to be part of such special occasions, and we love the versatility of these settings.

This flexibility allows us to connect with the audience and contribute to an unforgettable experience.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Whether you prefer a shorter set or have a different format in mind, we're happy to work with you to create the perfect musical experience for your event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely! We're open to performing outdoors as long as the weather conditions are favorable.

If you have any concerns about the weather or potential outdoor spaces, feel free to discuss them with us, and we'll be happy to collaborate on finding the best solution for your event.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We definitely love collaborating with clients to curate the perfect musical experience! While we do have a diverse set repertoire of jazz classics, bossa nova, and original compositions, we're always open to discussing your preferences and adapting our setlist to suit the occasion.

Feel free to share your favorite songs, styles, or the overall mood you'd like to create, and we'll do our best to incorporate your wishes within our musical expertise.
