The Terry Smirl Trio - Milwaukee's finest jazz trio!The Terry Smirl Trio has been performing throughout the Midwest for well over 20 years, playing jazz renditions of classic tunes from the Great American Songbook in a style that is tasteful and light yet always swings hard. The trio consists of piano, upright bass, and a small drum kit (we bring a digital keyboard if no piano is available on site), and the trio requires very little floor space. Guitar is available as an optional substitute for the piano.
Our performances typically include songs that were composed during the “Golden Age” of American popular song—from the late ‘20’s through the early ‘50’s—and lend themselves perfectly to our classic, straight-ahead jazz style. We specialize in playing very quietly, and our renditions of these tunes work perfectly as background music for cocktails, dinner, mingling, etc. However, we can also “open up” and swing hard for concert settings! The Terry Smirl Trio can be augmented with additional instruments (like saxophone or trumpet) and/or a vocalist. to make a quartet, quintet, etc |
