Paul Howards
Howards' style has been described as heartfelt, melodic, and seductive.  Each of these elements are something on their own, together they're something else. And the classy, sincere delivery makes it just a little more ... it makes it  both very cool ... and very hot!

In a genre where predictability too often takes precedence over innovation, Howards stands apart as a performer whose music makes a difference.


With a taste of funk, a little hip-hop, and some retro-soul Howards alternates between aggressive alto and cool romantic tenor sax ... often on the same track. This sound is anything but ordinary. In fact it's so extraordinary we couldn't keep it quiet.

We all knew Paul was good, and in a way we wanted to keep him to ourselves. But this level of talent hasn't gone unnoticed ... yep, the rest of the world has discovered him. He's away from home often touring as saxophonist with pop group 'N Sync, and with pop/rap singer Justin Timberlake.

He still plays dates close to home whenever he can. So keep an eye for out his performances in the Orlando area ... as well as the Southeast, and across the country!

thom chambers
There’s a point some musicians move beyond, a point past simply creating and performing music. It’s the point where two very different parts of the brain ...  the parts where sensibility and artistry live separately ... learn to play well together. The results are amazing!

You can hear it in Chambers' music.

He's played the Montreux Jazz Festival three times, toured the Southeast, opened Orlando shows for some of the best in the business, and calls Central Florida home.


His musical class and clarity, and elegance and intelligence, make a definitive mark on listeners before blending like spice into a Latin beat, a jazz standard, or one of his signature tunes — like Chet Baker’s My Funny Valentine (from his first solo CD, Under Covers) which Chambers made his own before renaming it My Funky Valentine. Chambers' signature writing style is also evident in Botanica, an original from his second solo CD, The Joy of Sax.

Whether he’s performing original material, traditional jazz, or jazz standards, Thom’s understanding, enjoyment, and appreciation for music energizes every show.

Sisaundra Lewis
Combining both a glorious vocal instrument and performance skills, she approaches her love for music with an incredible assurance. Her soul is filled with music. Listen and enjoy the authentic, soulful sounds of Sisaundra Lewis.

Touring took her and her band to Japan where she met R&B artist Peabo Bryson who asked her to join him on tour as a duet partner and background vocalist.

Later, she toured and recorded with Celine Dion and worked with her as a background vocalist, vocal director, and choreographer for the superstar's group.

And now Central Florida can enjoy all that Sisaundra Lewis has to offer.

Sunnie Paxson
This contemporary jazz pianist, producer, and composer is extremely versatile with a repertoire of countless compositions for stage and screen.  She takes the joys and heartbreaks of life and transforms them into songs of expression of the human condition ... a unique and refreshing gift in the jazz genre.

Extensive, worldwide touring and recording with legendary jazz bassist Stanley Clarke allowed Paxson to record and share the stage with many other great players such as Justo Almario, John Pattatuci, Michael Sembello, Everett Harp, and Michael Paulo to name just a few.


She
shares a manager with guitar-great Larry Carlton and has composed and produced music for many motion pictures as well as Fox Sports Network, ABC, CBS, NBC, Telemundo and Super Bowl shows.

Central Florida is lucky to have this outstanding performer.

Tamara Danielsson
Think of cool jazz, smooth jazz, contemporary jazz ... each conjures up a different image for every individual. Think of any of those styles then blend in sophistication, along with a flavor reminiscent of vintage jazz, and the music from Tamara Danielsson comes to mind.

Listen to her music and you'll find yourself in a different place. In your mind you're putting your feet up, relaxing, and sipping rich wine from a good crystal glass. If that sounds too tame to you, wait awhile ... Tamara changes the pace with a kick and a funk on a cut here, moves to different groove there, and generally mixes it up for your listening pleasure.

Even though she calls it home, Danielsson limits her Central Florida engagements ... so catch her while you can.

Greg Pakstis
Instead of piano or solo violin, consider classical (nylon string) guitar or solo guitar with backing tracks for your next event. Great for background music. A classy addition to a business promotion. Simply charming for weddings. Would you like nice soft standards, bossa novas and ballads to compliment your event? Or perhaps something a little more energetic, hip, groovin', but still not overbearing? Tasteful and appropriate, professional and smart. If you're looking to hire a guitarist, whether you're an individual, a contractor, or a band, you've come to the right place. Hire the professional. Also available as a duo with the addition of saxophone.
