Relaxed, beautiful sounds are the feeling Govinda Abbott sets out to bring to an occasion. The Byron Bay musician followed an early path through jazz studies in Sydney before completing a masters degree in jazz and pedagogy in East Germany. His experience covers traditional and contemporary jazz in both small ensembles and big bands. Fifteen years living and working in Germany sit within an international story that also includes teaching at the Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory. At a wedding, the moment to hear him is one where you want guests to pause and let those calm sounds settle around them.
Watch Govinda Abbott perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

Trumpet, played softly. Govinda Abbott is there to sit underneath a day rather than take it over, so the sound is warm and unhurried and people can still hear each other talk across a table. Think a Byron Bay afternoon that gets gently better as it goes on. Jazz standards, Latin, the occasional bit of funk, all pitched at the volume the room can carry rather than the volume the horn is capable of.
