The Tim Hartis Jazz Trio plays often in the greater Charlotte NC area for receptions, dinners, anniversaries, weddings, dances, and parties. The instrumental trio of pianist, bassist and drummer plays great American jazz songs, including swing, Latin, ballads, blues, waltzes, and ragtime. The trio can add light pop and R&B songs upon request.
The trio can also play as a vocalist, pianist, and bassist. The band also performs as a quartet. A vocalist or saxophonist plays with the pianist, bassist, and drummer. The band can play as quintet, with a vocalist and saxophonist added to the trio. When performing as a quartet or quintet, the band often uses the name JazzGroupProject.
Tim, Ben, and Keith were booked for a Spartanburg ArtWalk event at The Johnson Collection at short notice, but they happily agreed to organize a setlist for roughly three hours of music. They were very professional and set up and packed up quickly and carefully. Their friendly demeanor allowed visitors to wander around looking at the art or sit and comfortably enjoy the music.
We were all touched and impressed by Tim's set list, where he paired each artwork in the gallery with a tune from the era. Everyone enjoyed the music thoroughly, but Tim's explanations connecting the art to the music received several appreciative comments from visitors. Thank you!
Response from The Tim Hartis Jazz Trio:
A big THANKS to Blake, Sarah and Mary for having my jazz trio play for the ArtWalk event. It was a pleasure to work with all three of these professionals. The event was top-notch, and we hope to perform again at TJC Gallery in the future.
Tim and his jazz trio played for our elders during our France themed event and they were phenomenal! They were wonderful interacting with our residents during their performance and created a beautiful set list inspired by France. Definitely recommend them for future shows!
Response from The Tim Hartis Jazz Trio:
Thanks for having us. Fun, engaging crowd! It was exciting to tailor our music for the Olympics in Paris.
We had the Tim Hartis Jazz Trio perform for a special event at our senior living community this week and they were absolutely amazing! They made an extra effort to play music from the 1940's era of our event, interacted beautifully with everyone, and were sensitive to the individual needs of our residents. They are incredibly talented, and we will definitely book them again for future performances.
We booked the Jazz Band Trio for an event and the band was nothing short of phenomenal! If you're looking for a professional group that will make sure you get exactly what you're looking for, then this is the group for you. We booked them for a Valentine's Day event and they came prepared with all the love songs and made sure the sound levels were perfect for the room. Couldn't recommend them enough and we will be booking them again!
The Jazz Group was amazing! We hired the group for our New Year 4 Year Anniversary Celebration for our assisted living community. The residents and families loved the entertainment, variety of music and performance overall. We will definitely hire the Jazz Group again....Highly Recommend!
The Time Hartis Jazz Trio performed at our fundraising event and did a fantastic job! They were very professional and provided the right sound for our event. Highly recommend!
Tim and his Jazz Trio did a wonderful job for a recent party. We wanted "background" music for an Engagement Party and they did a great job! I have used Tim on several occasions and he and his Trio are always very professional and want to make sure they accommodate the kind of music we want. I highly recommend them!
Response from The Tim Hartis Jazz Trio:
