Nostalgia In Times Square

Описание: Nate Leichtman and Three Man Big Band playing Nostalgia in Times Square by Charles Mingus. If your looking for music for a cocktail hour at a wedding, reception for a business meeting, holiday party, or any other event, we can provide the perfect background setting. Based on the Jazz trios of Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, and Vince Guraldi, we bring the full sound of a jazz band to your event and can be both soft and elegant, or energetic and shimmering, depending on the type of mood we need to set. Our repertoire includes over 400 songs from 30's swing to 50's jazz to 70's fusion.

I attended the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music and graduated with a B.M. in Jazz and Commercial Piano. Not only have I studied intensely with local fixture Eric Gunnison, but also with internationally touring artist Gerri Allen and even with jazz legend Billy Taylor at a summer music institute in Amherst, Mass. I won the Clarke Terry award for outstanding musicianship and was a recipient of the Cherrington Global Scholarship, a grant that allowed me to spend a year performing and studying in Australia.

Since graduating college I have worked as the pianist on a cruise ship and have performed in Mexico, Hawaii, South America, French Polynesia, and Australia. I have recorded with LA based R&B artist Molly Cottrell, South By Southwest nominated Folk artist Leah Druzinski, and have had my music produced by Ikey Owens (keyboardist for Sublime, The Mars Volta, and Jack White.) I perform regularly at local venues Dazzle, Jazz at Jacks, and Hillstone Steakhouse.
