Hello. My name is Eric Zimmermann. In addition to being a DJ/Master of Ceremonies, I am a Pianist and lead a number of ensembles in performances throughout Southern California.
Elegant Music started with my wife Flutist Sheila Zimmermann and I playing Flute and Piano Music together.
Printed Piano music is a lot like Harp music.
A Piano can be replaced with Harp in an ensemble. So just imagine what this recording would sound like with Harp and Flute instead of Piano and Flute.
This exponentially expands the variety ensembles Elegant Music provides.
See: Quartets of Elegant Music
The instrumentation of the original Elegant Music Quartet is Flute, Violin, Cello and Piano…
So we have personally performed for happy occasions in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California with hundreds of musician in a variety of ensembles since 1990. That they are good players is a given; that they are helpful, responsible and nice people too is required.
Jessica is a composer, recording artist, athlete, actress, dancer… In this video Jessica covers “Hands Down” by Dashboard Confessional:

This is an unusual combination of some of my favorite instruments. I very much like the sound created by this ensemble when these instruments perform together. This ensemble is an expansion of the Elegant Music Quartet that includes both Harp and Piano in the same ensemble.

It is so much fun to arrange music for and perform with these talented musicians.

Bringing friends together is a great idea.
The spontaneity of “It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere”
is reason enough to get together.

There are 2 videos in this post. Part 2 plays automatically right after part 1.
In the first video (Part 1) a young woman from the audience called out to the band, “Hey music guys, are you single?”
Momentarily caught off guard I didn’t know whether to be flattered or embarrassed. However, the band’s “response” did reveal our responsibilities…
…but it was fun to consider the flattering question and banter.
See (Part 2) where we play beautiful romantic Latin American music which I like to think inspired the young woman’s question :-)
There is an event venue close by.
An asset that with a little bit of decoration and the right music would contribute greatly to the success of your party.
The venue is called “Your Back Yard”.
In this video the band is dressed in Hawaiian shirts having fun playing Latin music. Whether a casual event or formal, I always enjoy performing with the Elegant Music Jazz Trio.
The gigs shown in this post were all backyard events; except for the performance of “Fragile” which was part of a memorial service held indoors.
In writing this Quartet arrangement I had the realization that Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, affectionately known as “Sting”, is a Jazz artist and that his song “Fragile” lends itself beautifully to Latin Jazz interpretation.
“The circumstances that might have caused a Christmas party to be moved to May are still a mystery. The creativity required to artfully circumvent these mysterious circumstances and . . . ”
Well, watch the video and find out.
“There ain’t no cure for the Summertime Blues.” To kick the blues all you need to do is to view this video and it’ll put a smile on your face :-)
In referencing Disney’s “Lady and Tramp” I want to point out that motion picture themes are packed with meaning. The performance of a song featured in a motion picture can bring that meaning to any activity that it is performed for:
It is a lot of fun to plan music for an event!
