About the Group

Whisper Not Jazz is an ensemble of professional musicians who have found their niche. Appropriate for any special even where good taste abounds, Whisper Not Jazz embodies the eclectic and sophisticated, playing a blend of jazz, latin and pop tunes. The group can appear in varying formats depending on client need , but the most common unit is a trio- trombone, piano (or guitar), and bass. Whether subdued or punchy, lounge trio or swingin' like Basie, Whisper Not Jazz will not fail to please. As Tony Bennet said:

If you choose good tunes, you can't go wrong.
