The music behind the voice - traditional accompaniment options:
"Vegas" 16 piece Orchestra
Toronto's official crooner orchestra conducted by Anthony Terpstra;
18 instruments: piano, bass, drums, five saxophones, four trumpets, three trombones, flugelhorn, clarinet, flute.
"Canada's finest big band. A perfect blend of age and youth, energy and experience. The Best in the City!" (Toronto Life Magazine).
"Cabaret" 7 piece Band
Retention of the big band essence through a compact ensemble which knows what an audience wants and senses when to play. It makes the sets flow and ebb and play the ongoing dynamic of the band and crowd.
11 instruments: piano, bass, drums, baritone sax, tenor sax, alto sax, trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone, clarinet, flute.
"Cocktail" Quintet
Four instruments and me. This is a reduction of all the horns into one saxophone plus the trio (piano, bass , drums); still delivering the cool unbroken quality within the swing and ballad musical arrangements. Suggested for cocktail/dinner music.
"Speakeasy" Quartet
Andy plus piano, bass and drums. A classic jazz ensemble rendering a reposeful background sound.
