From subtle ballads to groovy funk, and from sunny bossa nova to swinging cool jazz — this trio can do it all.
This is our most versatile trio line-up, and perfectly suited to a wide range of events. You'll instantly recognise the classic trio sound of the legendary 1950s and 60s: the Oscar Peterson Trio, the Bill Evans Trio, the Ahmad Jamal Trio — each built around that signature combination of piano, double bass, and drums. It's no coincidence that this has become one of the most beloved line-ups in jazz history.
🎶 Ready to bring live jazz to your event? 🎶
Let's compose the perfect line-up together — from an intimate duo to a full swinging band.

We need a performance space of at least approx. 3 by 4 meters. A normal 230V power socket is required.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment.
Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from our curated playlist before, after and between our sets.
Usually we arrive 60 minutes in advance. In general we are booked 2-4 hours, but other time frames are always to be discussed. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
You can easily let it to the pro's to decide which song to play, so you can focus on other important things and your guests!
Without exception our clients rate us with 5 stars, indicating an exact match between our performance and their expectations. Or maybe even exceeding expectations!
