The Oasis Jazz Trio--saxophone, guitar or piano, and bass--will provide a relaxing, lively atmosphere for your event or dinner guests. We play frequently for restaurants and private events in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge area. Our repertoire includes classics from the Great American Songbook (Cole Porter, Rogers and Hart, Gershwin, Arlen, etc.), jazz standards (songs by Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, and many others), and jazz versions of traditional Christmas songs and modern holiday tunes. We can create a welcoming and festive ambience for your gathering any time of year!
With the addition of an excellent drummer, we also perform regularly as the J-25 Jazz Quartet.
Amazing! Showed up early, started on the dot, worked in music to go with our theme, super professional, fun to be around, sounded AMAZING. This group made our event special and were the highlight of this evening. Could not have asked for more!

We will arrive early enough to set up and will be ready to play when you want us to start. We will be fully equipped and dressed appropriately for the occasion and the venue. We will adjust our volume to ensure we can be heard but are not obtrusive. Our goal is to enhance your event and help make it thoroughly enjoyable and memorable.
The Oasis Jazz Trio includes Bruce Fogelman on tenor and soprano saxophones along with a keyboard or guitar player and a bass player (usually Jake Kovoti). Our repertoire draws primarily on the Great American Songbook, and we also play contemporary standards and holiday music. We play swing tunes, ballads, jazz blues, bossa nova, and even a few funky tunes. Our aim is to provide music of interest to enhance your event; it's suitable for dancing or just listening, and it can be a main feature or an audio background for your festivities.
