The Gentlemen of Jazz
This sterling group of musicians form one of the best bands on the
West Coast. Whether you are dancing or just sitting back and enjoying
their
great sound, you will be treated to superb musicianship and quality
entertainment. Dancers love the band because of its wide variety of
tempos and styles. The "Gentlemen" play swing jazz of the
forties and fifties, bossa novas, and other latin rhythms. Duke Ellington,
Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller,
Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Artie Shaw, Louie "Satchmo" Armstrong
and Billie Holiday, are just a few of the many artists and composers
this group has in its song book. The Gentlemen of Jazz were featured at the Silverado Country Club
and resort for a two year engagement and provide the music for the
Chrysler/David L. Wolper annual Tournament of Stars that benefits the
Boys and Girls Club of Napa Valley. They have been in great demand
at every major winery in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys and each year
provide the music for many wedding receptions because their music is
appreciated by all age groups. The members of The Gentlemen of Jazz
have performed and recorded with the very best in the music industry
i.e.; Duke Ellington, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini, Earl "Fatha" Hines,
Joe Williams, Stevie Wonder, and Engelbert Humperdink, to name a few.
