Hey guys, as per topic, any suggestions on what to play in a wedding based on jazz and blues genre?

Thanks

I guess you can play some stds like fly me to the moon, my funny valentine and stuff like that.

Blues, i guess u can try B.B. King's stuff, some of them are pretty soft for weddings.

But i guess, most importantly play some pop songs as well, i see many of them request pop songs that they know and share together.

pop and RnB is the way to go ! throw some good ol'rock n roll, and you're sure they'll hit the dance floor quickly.

who cares about blues and jazz, beside musicians ?

Good old Rock n Roll is definitely a good choice.
It'll get the crowd going n yearning for more later.

Cheers...

thanks for the suggestions and i know rock and pop will surely make my life easier but the organizer kononnya high class event request us to play jazz. So i think it is better if we can hantam some jazz songs and play a half an hour blues intrumental to cover it lol

eh, if u bang all the nite, the guest will get irritated also la..
dining functions u need something quiet and soothing for them to have dinner with.

Yeah i think some good pop and RnB would be good, like tht popular song by Alicia Keys, i forgot the title though.. lol

if i aint got you is it ?
hahaha

alienprobe ...

i am telling you lah ...organizer doesn't know sh*t wan lah ...

employ some super keyboardist , if can saxophonist ...


play this 3 chord progressions

1) . Fmaj7-Em7-Dm7-Cmaj7

2) . Dm7-G7-Cmaj7-Fmaj7-Dm/B-E7-Am7

3) . F-G7-Em7-Am , Dm7-G-Cmaj7-Cmaj7

then solo/ instrumental the hell out of it , 10-15 minutes per progression ..play it soft..not loud ..

you can jazz-cheating this way ..

jazz market is easier actually , since you can get away with instrumental ...you can rest your front man ..employ ugly front man that are less demanding..etc..

lol... yeah gappy... thats the title i m talking about.. a must have for wedding gigs..

whens the wedding? aug16th is elvis anniversary

bb king sweet little angel.
eric clapton wonderful tonight.
gary moore still got the blues.
gary moore parisienne walkways.
joe satriani always with you always with me.
eric johnson trademark.
hendrix little wing.

screw jazz.
better you take some jazz arrangements of classic pop songs.

Er....... you REALLY want to be playing BLUES at a wedding? That would be a total downer right there..........

i say play music from Michael Buble. But it all depends on the audience also. They might get bored if play too much jazz and blues stuff. p/s not everybody appreciate jazz music.

+1
Always with you always with me might be a little fast though =p

Wonderful Tonight would be perfect though

Parisienne Walkways is great too!

Biggie Gary Moore fanboy here lol, might be biased @_@

eh if that 10yr old jap cute girl, Haruka Kageyama, can play it...there is no reason why anyone else cant

i cant T_T

some morbid angel, slayer or mayhem can spice up the wedding...hehehehe
kidding...play some rod stewart or michael buble...that defitenitly sets the wedding mood and some p ramlee song.
