We are able to provide a piano keyboard, drum kit and PA system if required. All our equipment is PAT safety tested.
We don't provide a DJ service but we are happy to play music from an iTunes or Spotify playlist, selected in advance by the client or by ourselves.
The EFG London Jazz Festival was a fantastic event to be part of, and we really loved playing at Claridges Hotel in London, as it's such an iconic venue.
We particularly love weddings and Jewish simchas (celebrations) because of all the generations that come together for a huge party.
We are all trained musicians with busy freelance music careers as individuals, and we did a show together for a festival. It was such great fun that we decided to form a band.
One of our biggest influences is what we call the Jewish American Songbook - Jewish composers and writers who came to America and made a huge difference to the world of music, such as George Gershwin and Cole Porter, known for many of the famous jazz standards.
Our set-up time varies between 1 - 1.5 hours in advance of the performance. We usually play 2 x 45 minute sets, though this can be adapted to suit the client's requirements.
We are happy to perform outside, but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
Clients are able to choose in advance from our repertoire lists. We can include specific songs before the event, up to a maximum of five songs, requested in advance.
The New York Times described the band as “soulful and virtuosic”, and our heartfelt, fiery performances make us an audience favourite. The band features Miriam Kramer – “a violinist of superior natural talent” (The Strad), Sara Feldmann Brummer – “sensuous and impertinently hilarious vocals” (This Is Cabaret) and pianist Nicholas Durcan, whose Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin) was praised as “a sparkling performance” by The Observer. Bassist Steve Rossell and drummer Hamish Birchall complete the sound.
Yes, our singer Sara Feldmann Brummer is also an experienced Cantorial Soloist for Reform / Progressive Jewish weddings, and she is able to sing the Sheva Brachot and other musical elements of your Chuppah ceremony. We can provide a pianist and / or violinist to accompany her, or she can sing unaccompanied.
