Saturday was truly an amazing evening as we had the privilege of curating and producing an entire evening of jazz for a very special wedding at the Central Park Zoo. Huge thanks to Jung Lee and Fête for bringing us on board. We began with a jazz quartet for cocktails, melodic jazz dinner DJ set, and groovy jazz band led by Jay Bianchi for a special dance portion of the evening. The night consisted of upbeat standards, classic crooners, and a few original Bianchi Musica arrangements. The cocktail music kicked off the night filling the zoo with beautiful smooth jazz played right near the entrance of the zoo, which the sea lions seemed to enjoy by their occasional splashing around the tank and playful barking. The dinner was absolutely stunning set right next to the snow monkeys, with heart warming speeches, EM-C'd by Pilley Bianchi and our very own DJ Ted Ganung, setting the mood mixing an assortment of Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Joe Henderson & many more classic recordings. The band sounded & looked amazing with three of our favorite vocalists, Kimberlee Wertz, Noreda Sweet & Jim Mola. In classic Bianchi Musica fashion, the full band also included a grand piano and our very special string section.
