James Everett
Vocalist / R&B - Jazz - Pop
A native of San Francisco with a sound and performance style that’s reminiscent to the Rat Pack days fused with sprinkles of Luther Vandross, Al Jarreau, Tony Bennett, Smokey Robinson, Michael Buble, Nancy Wilson, Aretha Franklin and more...
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Whether it's upfront (concert style) or easy listening background music to your liking; you can expect a classic mix of Jazz songs through the ages fused with sprinkles of some of the most popular and current R&B/Pop tunes of today (if requested). The musical style is intimate, jazzy cool, classy fun and electric. The aim is to provide you with quality entertainment and professionalism that will make your evening a memorable success.
BAND SET-UP: The performance act consists of James Everett (vocalist), piano player, guitar/bass, drums and or Trumpet/Sax. If you wanna dance we recommend going with the quintet (5pc) or sextet (6 pc). However, we can also just use a rhythm section (Piano, Guitar/Bass and drums) if space is limited.
Other options for larger events include: A 16pc Big Band.
