Hear what a client has to say about the band!
Summer Wind's repertoire showcases the great jazz standards from the 30's through the 60's made famous by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Harry Connick, Jr., Michael Buble, and many other monumental singers. The smooth vocal stylings of Dave Scott provide the voice for Summer Wind. The band also features saxophonist Bill Shreeve who is strongly influenced by the cool west coast sound of Paul Desmond and Stan Getz. Summer Wind is rounded out with piano, upright string bass, and drums. Let Summer Wind take you back to a time when smooth was cool, swing was king, and when live jazz, America's greatest contribution to the performing arts, brought sophistication to the night life.
Thanks to a high level of musicianship in the band and a comprehensive book of material, the band can be configured to match any budget and any venue. A smaller group can be used in intimate cocktail settings or a larger band can accomodate a showcase venue.
