Welcome to our website, and to our music calendar of clinics, adjudications, performances solo to big band, and other news. Dates also include UNF JE 1 Repertoire Orchestra performances, directed by JB, and jazz listings of interest from Friday Musicale, of which I serve on the Board of Directors. JB and I offer top quality, entertaining music groups for festivals, clubs, restaurants, concerts, country clubs, weddings, dances, cruises, wine tastings, corporate events, tribute concerts, in-home parties, etc, playing background ambiance to dance music as desired.

Our trio to sextet small groups play the “classics” from the Great American Songbook to modern jazz standards, in the styles of swing, ballads, Latin, bebop, blues, funk, pop. Our “JB Scott’s Swinging Allstars” plays Chicago Swing/New Orleans style tunes of the 20s & 30s perfect for that Mardi Gras spirit. Our 10-piece “Sophisticated Swing” and 18-piece “Florida Swing Orchestra” big bands are popular for holiday and other concerts, patriotic events, weddings, and dance events. For very small settings, including retirement communities, JB and & I offer a duo with quality rhythm to big band background music tracks.

We are seasoned guest soloists, studio musicians, and as artist/clinicians, we offer educational jazz clinics, workshops, serve at jazz camps, teach applied trumpet and voice lessons and music theory tutoring. Give us a call to schedule a lesson!

This past year, greatly impacted with everyone else from the quarantine, gigs for the year cancelled abruptly after March 6, we spent our time working on music, spending time with family, and joining our many neighbors for those yard projects we had never had time for before. What a crazy year. We were able to do a few music things towards the fall, JB was on a limited teaching schedule at the college. As things begin to open up more this year, we look forward to seeing friends and fans again, connecting through fellowship and music. We’ve missed you all. So happy to share these few dates for now, with the hope they be fulfilled, with more to come.

Wishing you continued good health and happiness,
Jazzfully, Lisa Kelly & JB Scott
