The act
Wedding drinks could begin with SoundCliff's jazz trio, with saxophones, keyboard and drums giving the gathering its musical backdrop. The Sydney group draws on standards alongside funk, blues and soul, with bossa and Latin rhythms also part of the range. They welcome requests and can move from background playing towards music for dancing, letting the people and the moment influence the performance. You can also explore a band of four, five or six, adding instruments such as guitar, trumpet or percussion to shape a larger ensemble around the celebration you have in mind.

Good to know
What to expect
Saxophones, keyboard and drums, and a bigger sound than three people ought to make. The trio work through jazz standards from the 40s to the 70s along with funk, blues, soul, bossa and Latin, and they'll slip a funky version of a pop song or an old rock tune in when the room shifts. Reading the room is the skill here: they'll stay well back during dinner and then move forward when it's time for people to dance. Requests are fine, and with enough notice they'll learn songs for a theme.
On the day
They bring a professional sound system of their own, or they'll plug into whatever the venue already has if that's simpler. Either way works. Three players don't need much floor, but if you're thinking about growing the line-up, mention it early, because six musicians need a good deal more space than three do.
Performance options
A trio is the standard shape: saxophones, keyboard and drums. From there it grows to four, five or six by adding guitar, bass, trombone, trumpet, more saxophones or percussion, depending on the sound you're after. A bigger horn section gives a function room more weight. A guitar and bass fills out the rhythm side. Tell them the room and the mood and they'll suggest which additions actually earn their place.
