The Alice Bisschops Trio

Alto saxophone, guitar and double bass, playing the Great American Songbook the way it was meant to sound. The Alice Bisschops Trio is led by career jazz saxophonist Alice Bisschops and specialises in Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole in a sleek instrumental format, which makes it good background music for venues, galleries and receptions. Favourites include Take Five, The Girl From Ipanema, Fly Me To The Moon, Dream a Little Dream of Me, Desafinado and On the Sunny Side of the Street, with Bossa Nova classics through the middle. Ask ahead and they'll rework a pop song into an instrumental too, which is how Valerie, Creep and Thinking Out Loud ended up in the book. For bigger rooms the trio expands with drums, vocals and piano, which shifts things towards bebop and swing for dancers. All equipment is provided. Insured, with valid checks and tested equipment.
