DESCRIPTION:
Steve Pemberton Jazz Entertainment has provided outstanding live music for all types of events for the past several years in prestigious venues such as the historic Queen Mary in Long Beach, the stately Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and the elegant Ritz Carlton Hotel in Laguna Beach. Whether it's a fundraiser, charity gala, wedding, corporate party, private reception or any social event, Steve captures the right mood for every occasion.

Musical quality, professional client interaction with a personal touch, and attention to detail are the linchpins that have allowed Steve Pemberton Jazz Entertainment to grow and prosper.

All of his performers are well-respected, experienced and accomplished concert and studio musicians, noted for their professionalism and musical versatility. In addition to the core group that comprises the Steve Pemberton Quartet, he can add additional horns, vocals, strings for ceremonies, or create a full big band to generate excitement! For theme parties, he will supply an authentic foot-stomping Dixieland band, a 1930's-40's swing orchestra, or a more contemporary and funkier smooth jazz group, or maybe even a cool bebop jazz group (replete with 'shades'), plus much more.

Steve says, 'Steve Pemberton Jazz Entertainment should be your one source for jazz. The stylish, sophisticated sounds of my groups are well suited for both formal and casual occasions. Whatever the event, I can satisfy all of your musical needs... with Class and Elegance!'

STEVE'S HISTORY: AS SEEN ON TV! Steve was most recently the drummer for the Boston Pops Orchestra, and can be seen throughout the year on their A&E and PBS television specials. He has been featured on TV, Radio, CDs and in the finest concert halls in the world. You may have also heard him recently in both feature films, Bewitched (Sony) and Cinderella Man (Universal).

"With over twenty-five years in the music business, I opened a small, personalized jazz entertainment office, offering high quality music in a variety of formats. I deliberately keep my office small so that you know you will be dealing directly with me, offering advice honed from years of experience. In addition to jazz, the versatility and experience of my musicians allows me to offer almost any type and size group to fit any musical taste and budget. The varied list of artists that the members of my bands have performed and/or recorded with include Quincy Jones, composer John Williams, Grover Washington, Jr., Maureen McGovern, Mel Torme, Ray Charles, Doc Severinsen, John Pizzarelli, Johnny Mathis, Jeffrey Osborne, Melissa Manchester, Patti Austin, Peabo Bryson, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, the New York Voices, the Count Basie Orchestra, Ray Anthony, Les Brown, Woody Herman and Suzanne Somers. Collectively we have performed over 10,000 private functions. Every one of my musicians are dedicated, schooled, full-time professionals, creating the ideal atmosphere for your next event.".... Steve Pemberton
