Jazz Nuances offers a repertoire of jazz standards with a sound and feel reminiscent of the 1950s and 60s West Coast Cool Sound. The Quartet, sometimes with added musicians, specializes in background music to enhance dinners, parties, weddings, fund-raisers and other special events. Rather than provide main event stage performances, Jazz Nuances adds touch and class to your conversations and festivities.

Especially popular and well known in Northern California, the Quartet plays regularly at some of the best restaurants in the region, including Pasta?, Bistro 33, Sudwerks in Davis, the Villa, Santa Rosa, and select wineries in Napa and Sonoma County.
