Elissa Rodger
Duo / Trio · Based in Melbourne
About this act
Jazz standards, played by people who actually know them. Elissa Rodger fronts a group of professional Melbourne jazz musicians working through material like Autumn Leaves, All Of Me, Summertime, Bye Bye Blackbird, Fever and Lullaby Of Birdland. Tell them whether you want uptempo swing or something quieter under conversation and they'll pitch it accordingly. A standard booking is two sets of around 50 minutes with a 20 minute break, though set times and lengths are flexible. They can also take on short notice work, which is rarer than it sounds. Options run from a guitar and voice duo up to a full band with drums, bass and saxophone. Dressing to a theme is fine too, whether that's Great Gatsby or murder mystery. All gear supplied. Just power.

A Small example of the songs we play;
days of wine and roses
all the things you are
all of me
I get a kick out of you
autumn leaves
Come fly with me
blue skies/ hit the road jack
saint James infirmary
lady is a tramp
s'wonderful
summertime
I've got you under my skin
everybody wants to be a cat
softly as in a morning sunrise
days of wine and roses
I wanna be like you
bye bye blackbird
Fever
lullaby a Birdland
