Valuable Reference & Wedding Planning Resource

If a picture is worth a thousand words.  Then I guess a moving picture is worth… more!

Talking about music is fun but trying to describe it really doesn’t replace hearing it; music is something to be experienced.   Seeing a performance on video is a reference and planning tool that helps the listener experience the music and instrumentation.

The Elegant Music Web Site has a Video Index.

There is one easy to find page where all of the video are organized by category.  Whether traditional music or something “outside the box” you can see many options and get ideas.

This is a handy link that can be e-mailed to anyone planning a special event.

This is a valuable reference to help anyone become familiar with Elegant Music services and is a step toward choosing music for that special event.
Okay, so if a picture is worth a thousand words and a moving picture is worth even more, then I guess a live performance is… “Even Better!”

Part of our service includes coming to our office where we play “Live”.  It is like a mini concert; we answer questions and help fine tune music choices.

Composing and Arranging for Quartet

Very often after hearing music and talking about music ideas come up.  A bride might not have thought that it would be possible to have an ensemble play a favorite song that she only knows as a recording or video; it may be a new concept that such a piece of music could be performed live for her wedding.

Dinner Dance In A Secret Location Elegant Music Jazz Trio

By

In a secret location men finely dressed in white tie and tails and women in beautiful evening dresses met and enjoyed cocktails, amazing food and perhaps wine too and as the evening progressed one thing lead to another and these couples, danced!

The secret location has a beautiful Steinway grand. Solo piano was featured during the cocktail hour then when dinner chimes sounded String Bass and Drums accompanied the Pianist as doors opened to a beautifully set dining room.

The trio struck up “The Way You Look Tonight” a song most notably made famous by Frank Sinatra. Couples entered the ballroom and “took a turn on the dance floor.”

Not ready to sit down just yet guests remained on the dance floor so the trio segued into “Beyond The Sea” a French song with English lyrics made famous by Bobby Darin. After a cue from the banquet captain the trio took a break so that guests could be seated and the dinner service could begin. After dinner and much lively conversation dancing resumed.

Guided by perfect manners and a common purpose to have a good time everyone seemed to know what to do; men conducted themselves as gentlemen and women conducted themselves as ladies; everyone enjoyed the company of each other; another successful party!

There are private organizations and clubs that observe traditions such as dinner dances. Celebrating ideals of bygone days they meet simply to have a good time. Photography was not permitted.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Saturday November 10th the Elegant Music Jazz Trio performed for a formal dinner dance. Men wore tux. Women wore amazing cocktail dresses and evening attire. Guests knew how to have a good time and conducted themselves as ladies and gentlemen.  So it was fitting that the Elegant Music Jazz Trio performed at the venerable Annandale Country Club for this elegant affair.

It is true that as musicians we play and interact with each other.  In the moment (together as band members) we create the music on the spot, right before your eyes… or ears.  We have a lot of fun doing this.

Audience Participation!

The audience plays an important roll in a performance. Their interaction with the performers and each other as dancers greatly contributes to the band’s performance. So there is a phenomena, a special communication between band and dancers that occurs, each inspiring the other. Well there was certainly a lot of that on Saturday night. The band members and I had a lot of fun interacting with the dancers who in many ways “conducted us” with their dancing.
We were all swingin’!
