Greetings!
Fall into Jazz
Summer vibes may be ending soon but we’re excited about the return of a vibrant fall season in our city, a season filled with creativity, inspiration, celebrations at events and happenings of many kinds. We, at LB Entertainment, are thrilled to launch a new season of music entertainment for our clients’ public and private special events and showcasing an array of great live music performed by dedicated musical artists.
The Art of the Duo
What do you get when the love of jazz brings together two uniquely talented longtime musician friends? The end result is the exciting and versatile duo of tenor saxophonist Laurent Bass and bassist Bert Harris and their innovative and creative music performances in their new project, Mélange Duo.
The pair has been collaborating and performing for over 10 years with our band Mélange jazz Collective as a trio and quartet developing a strong musical connection as musicians. Their new collaboration as a duo is a unique fusion of musical styles and backgrounds. As one of the leading duos in our area, Mélange Duo has been featured in different venues for public and private events.
Please check our calendar of events for upcoming live performances or call us for bookings.
