The Essentials are a classic jazz group, the original founders of the collective, specializing in the soulful, sophisticated sound of Blue Note Records and rooted in the standards of the Great American Songbook. Cool to hot, bebop to boogaloo, swing to bossa, our music encourages guests to relax and let go of their modern day woes. We are highly versatile and happy to cater our repertoire to your specific event whether that means performing a set of Christmas tunes or jazz renditions of modern pop hits.
