The Group's Profile
The group takes his name each time depending on the type of music that performs and the musicians that participate. Some times as
MARACUYA when it performs Latin music, some other times as FINE
ART QUARTET when it performs Jazz etc.
The group is constituted by experienced musicians with multiannual experience, so much in Greece and abroad (such as United states, UK and Europe) with influences mainly in Jazz, Latin and Soul music.
Usually the group as three or four pieces band is performing in five stars hotels in the island of Rhodes, however it takes part with more musicians in concerts, night life events and public appearances, as beach parties etc.
This variable format group provide a cool jazz ambience, ideal as a background to a drinks reception, corporate event, wedding or other private gathering, or scaled up to a more dance-oriented role. Using the substantial and impressive programming expertise of our Jazz musicians can be formulated in to a 'custom-designed' band to fit almost any occasion.
The group’s repertoire includes over 300 great tunes of different styles such as:
Classic/Mainstream Jazz, Swing Era, Modern Jazz, Romantic Ballads, Old-Time Jazz, Blues, Latin, Funky Dance Music and more...!!!
These are just a few of the acts that are available. We can assist in booking practically any name act you want for your event – if the group is available and within your budget. Contact us with information about your organization and your event.
