Alan Early Trio was an absolute pleasure to work with and so talented. We held a Gatsby themed auction and the Alan Early Trio could not have been a more perfect addition to the evening. Thanks so much for everything!

Response from Alan Early trio/quartet:
Thanks so much Sarah, we had to look in the archives a little for some of the music, but it was great to play in the environment where everyone was dressed in style for the party!
Alan
I enjoyed working with Alan Early and the rest of his quartet. They made my parents party special. They were professional, friendly, affordably and talented. I can't say enough good things. If you need a jazz band - they are fantastic!

What to Expect
We are a sophisticated and very professional band - we will not play loud but will provide a perfect atmosphere for you cocktail party or some swinging dance music for your wedding or other social event. Just picture some mellow sax and flute playing along with some very melodic guitar and bass and you will get the idea!

Influences & Inspiration
Stan Getz and other great sax players influence my own playing, and the group is a kind of throwback to great lounge bands of the 50's.
