Song requests
The Shadow of Your Smile
Almost anything by Jobim. I also like songs written and or sung by Leila Pinheiro. And Rossa Passos
Couldn’t Be Happier!
James and his band mates, Mike and Ben, showed up in plenty of time to set up, and were ready well before their 1030 hrs start time. I could not have been happier with the quality of the music they played, their selection of songs, and with the way their performance added to my event. James was very amenable to all my requests, and all three were very amiable and completely professional. I would hire them again without looking anywhere else. This trio comes highly recommended by me. Please support their work. Their musicicanship and talent deserve it. Thanks, guys!
A bossa nova band is a Brazilian musical style that blends jazz and samba to create smooth rhythms and flowing melodies. These groups create a warm, laid-back ambiance that instantly transports guests to Rio’s sandy shores. The style is steeped in history, celebrated for timeless classics like "The Girl from Ipanema" and iconic composers like Antônio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz. Bossa nova music is perfect for cocktail parties, weddings, and upscale gatherings.
