Small Acts
"OVER-THE-TOP" IS OUR DEFAULT SPEED FOR MOST EVENTS, BUT SOME EVENTS CALL FOR SMALLER ENSEMBLES FOR A MORE LAID-BACK ATMOSPHERE. FOR THESE, WE OFFER A VARIETY OF OPTIONS RANGING FROM INSTRUMENTAL JAZZ ENSEMBLES, SOLO PIANISTS, OR A 2-4 PIECE BAND THAT PRIMARILY PLAYS THE BEST SING-A-LONGS. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE IN MIND, OR LET US MAKE A FEW SUGGESTIONS

Hot Soup
2-4 Pieces
Mike Duane, senior 1564 performer and IDT bandleader, leads this mighty little group with his soulful vocals and giant song repertoire. When he’s not packing dance floors with IDT Band, you can often find him belting everything from country to R&B with a small collection of his bandmates. Options include duo, trio, or quartet (with drums).
The soup is hot! Due to IDT Band’s schedule, Hot Soup’s availability is often limited to weekdays and short-term bookings.
Jazz Trio
For the ultimate elegance for your cocktail hour or dinner, a jazz trio is the perfect addition. Typically consisting of saxophone, upright bass, and drums, this ensemble performs instrumentals of jazz classics such as Summertime, All The Things You Are, and many more. Also available as a quartet with piano.
Soloists
Guitarist
A talented acoustic guitarist can add a relaxed, light-hearted tone to a room, with colorful instrumental arrangements of songs ranging from easy-listening, Celtic, and classical to fun arrangements of contemporary pop.
Saxophonist
For something different, a self-accompanied saxophonist is sure to impress at your cocktail hour. You’ll hear everything from smooth jazz to the sax-only version of Don’t Stop Believing
Pianist
Nothing says classy like hearing an accomplished pianist play the best classical, jazz, and pop arrangements in the background while you and your guests mingle. Best suited for venues with a grand piano provided, although we can help provide one.
