Here we are last Wednesday (photo above),
creating an
elegant background for a very upscale
reception at the San Jose
Museum of Art. This
event was an exclusive private viewing of
"The Prints of Andy Warhol", and it
demonstrated how art inspires a unique event
setting. It was a truly spectacular evening,
and we were honored to be one of 16 top event
professionals involved. The band, left to
right, is Dale Mills, me, Gary Milliken, and
Andy Norblin. Thanks to Chung
Li, an
outstanding wedding photographer, for the
striking picture.
Whenever we play at posh events like this,
I'm always reminded of the humbler origins of
jazz music. Traditional jazz isn't a simple
list of old-time tunes or a virtuoso
performance you'll hear in a concert hall.
These days a hundred different styles call
themselves jazz, but the original tradition
of jazz music is "playing pretty for the people".

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 St Patrick'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 February 28, in
Dublin, CA, at the grand re-opening of the
Shannon
Community Center, and on March 1st we're
entertaining in the "Wedding
Fair and Open House" at the Crowne Plaza
Cabana, in Palo Alto.
Please visit
MagnoliaJazz.com
for details on these events
and more, and I hope we'll be
working together soon.
Please send me a comment. What do you think
about all this? I'd love to hear your opinions.
