The Safe Choice That Still Wows
Corporate entertainment has to do two jobs at once: impress a room full of guests and make the planner's life easy. We've built our reputation on both — a refined vintage jazz experience your executives and clients will remember, delivered with the professionalism your timeline demands.
Expect prompt communication, punctual setup, professional PA, guest-friendly volume, and a curated event flow that fits your run of show. The only surprises are the good kind.
Holiday Parties
Festive vintage jazz that works for every generation in the room — elegant through dinner, swinging once the dance floor opens.
Client Appreciation & Receptions
Sophisticated background sets that signal quality the moment guests walk in, at a volume that lets deals and conversation flow.
Award Dinners & Galas
Featured performances with Old Hollywood presence — walk-up music, showcase numbers, and a polished stage picture for the photos.
Brand Activations & Themed Events
Gatsby launches, vintage Vegas nights, 1940s USO tributes — era-true music and wardrobe that bring a concept fully to life.
Hotels & Country Clubs
Venue-ready professionalism: certificates of insurance on request, coordination with banquet teams, and tidy, efficient setups.
One Point of Contact
A single, responsive contact from inquiry to load-out, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Past venue credits include Disney's Club 33, The Hollywood Roosevelt, Vibrato Grill Jazz, The Cicada Club, Spago Beverly Hills, Disneyland, and Carnegie Hall — with regular appearances aboard The Queen Mary in Long Beach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you perform for corporate events?
Absolutely. We regularly perform for holiday parties, client appreciation events, award dinners, and gala receptions. Corporate planners appreciate our clear communication, punctual setup, and polished presentation.
Can you provide different ensemble sizes?
Yes. From an intimate trio for cocktail hours and dinners to the full Carnations ensemble with horns for a featured performance, we'll recommend the configuration that suits your space, guest count, and atmosphere.
Do you bring your own sound equipment?
Yes — we bring a professional PA and microphones scaled to your venue, and we keep volume guest-friendly so conversation is always comfortable. If your venue has house sound, we're happy to coordinate with their team.
Can you play during cocktail hour or dinner?
That's one of the things we do best. Elegant background sets — think bossa nova, French café, and Old Hollywood standards — keep the room warm and conversational, then we can raise the energy when it's time to dance.
Do you perform holiday music?
Yes — a full vintage holiday songbook, from Bing Crosby ballads to swinging arrangements of seasonal favorites, with festive wardrobe to match. December dates book early, so it's wise to inquire ahead.
Can you coordinate with our planner or venue?
Always. We're planner-friendly by design: clear timelines, prompt communication, tidy setup, and a curated event flow that fits your run of show. Introduce us to your planner or venue contact and we'll take it from there.
Do you provide music during band breaks?
Yes — we provide curated break music through our PA so the atmosphere never drops, and we can work from your playlist if you have one.
How do we get a quote?
Send an inquiry with your date, venue or city, guest count, and the atmosphere you're imagining — elegant background, lively dance set, or a full vintage theme. We'll reply promptly with availability and a proposal tailored to your event.
