UPBEAT SONGS
Here in my arms
Lover
I've got five dollars
You took advantage of me
The lady is a tramp
This can't be love
I wish I were in love again
Thou swell
All of me
"A" train
Ain't we got fun
I'm beginning to see the light
It don't mean a thing
If I were a bell
Get Happy
I got Rhythm
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Blue Room
Dream a little dream
Cheek to cheek
Manhattan
Mountain Greenery
Everything I've got
My baby just cares for me
Fly me to the moon
Stella by starlight
But not for me
MELLOW MUSIC/MUSIC FOR DINING
My funny valentine
Bewitched
Misty
The man that got away
I didn't know what time it was
I could write a book
Blue moon
Summersite
Isn't it romantic
Blue room
Every time we say goodbye
With a song in my heart
Spring is here
My romance
Autumn leaves
I'll never smile again
I'm a fool to want you
My one and only love
Skylark
At last
Sentimental journey
Like someone in love
Stella by starlight
Moon Indigo
Stormy weather
Why can't you do right
Duo: We require 2 plug sockets with one meter of the performing space. We require one parking space
Quartet: We require 3 plug sockets and 2/3 parking spaces. Depending on the event and the desire of the client- we can hire and bring a PA or would need a PA set up
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue. Depending on the time and location of the venue, we would need dinner.
We don't have our own PA but for extra we can hire one and bring it along for our set. We don't provide lighting. We can discuss these options with you. We can provide amplification for duo set up. This includes two amps.
No
We played at The Greenbank Pub upstairs in Bristol for a Jazz night. The crowd were lovely and the atmosphere was magic.
We love to play all sorts of events. In restaurants and bars, we add great atmosphere.
We all have been played in various groups for a decade. We have vast experience in all kinds of venues from bars, restaurants, event spaces and concert halls. We all regularly gig and have residencies in local venues to Bristol. Many members have gigged in Europe and played many festivals. We are a relatively new collaboration of musicians, however the vocalist and pianist have been playing together for 5 years. The pianist has a monthly residency at Ronny Scott's in London and at The Greenbank in Bristol. They have collaborated on the pianist jazz trio Yetii and played many gigs together in this set up.
Ella Fitzgerald: The ease into which she weaves intrigue into melodies. Her tone so rich and full is stunning. Misty is an all time favourite as well as Skylark. I love a heartfelt ballad!
We would need at least 1 hours for load in and set up before playing. We can play 1 hour set, 1.30min set, over this we would need a break in between such as: 2x 45 min sets or 2x 60 min sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
Yes, ofcourse- if whether permitting. Out of rain and not in full sun. We would need a flat ground and access to a close power supply and plenty of space
We are happy to discuss with a client any song requests, given enough notice so as to learn the music. We limit this to 2 songs.
"I hired Bea and the Piper Jazz Collective for my New Year's Eve party in Bristol and they were fantastic! Incredible playing from everyone involved and Bea has a beautiful voice!"
