Creating the Mood You Want,

from an Elegant Trio to a Swinging Sextet


A guide to help you and your friends preview the Magnolia Jazz Band

Happy 2009! Here we are last Wednesday (photo above), creating a festive "Roaring 20's" atmosphere for a swinging New Year's Eve party in Palo Alto.  It's our second year celebrating with these folks, and we'll be back for more. Left to right, Gary Milliken, Steve Apple, Brian Richardson, Bruce Jolly, me, and Andy Norblin.  Thanks for the wonderful photo, Joy.

We entertain at many weddings where, for good luck, brides traditionally wear "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue". This year I've decided my New Year's resolutions will be upbeat, and on the same theme. Please read my thoughts about two resolutions:

"something old", (Jazzing Up a New Year's Resolution)

"something blue" (A Resolution for Crying the Blues).


Will you be celebrating a significant event soon? Throw a party and include us. Or do you have friends planning their wedding? Please recommend us. Forward this note or email our report "Selecting Your Wedding Music".

Today I'm talking with people planning parties for Valentine's Day and Easter Sunday. If you'll have a party on one of these days, or on any day in between, now's a good time to plan the details, including the music. Have a question? We'll have the answer.

Call us at 408-245-9120. You'll love what we do. We're easy to work with, so let our experience help your celebration. We play at private parties nearly every day, and you or a friend can preview us on Sunday, February 8, entertaining brides-to-be in the Bridal Extravaganza at the San Jose Fairmont. Please visit MagnoliaJazz.com for details on this event and more. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a wonderful New Year and we'll be working together soon.

What do you think about all this? I'd love your opinions and comments.
