Great Requests Forsooth!
Elegant Music Jazz Trio @ The Shakespeare Club Pasadena, CA
Hello, My name is Eric Zimmermann. I am a DJ/Master of Ceremonies, Pianist and Bandleader.
In my line of work I get some very interesting requests and discover new music and new ways of looking at music whenever I talk with people about music for their event.
Creative Music Choices
Earlier this summer a bride getting married at the Falkner Winery in Temecula asked me if my jazz trio could play the theme from “Game of Thrones” during her cocktail hour. As soon as she mentioned this I got the concept! The arrangement wrote it self. Check out the video above.
She had other great music requests. See: Beautiful Wedding @ Falkner Winery Temecula, CA
