Imagine a moment of celebration with your friends: a birthday, a retirement party, an anniversary, a farewell party. The locale is intimate, yet large enough for you and your friends to be comfortable. The party starts out slowly, as people arrive, sip on drinks and nibble on appetizers. And what’s that you hear in the background? It’s light music, some slow jazz standards, played by some talented musicians sitting off in a corner of the room. You notice the musical components: a guitar line that carries both the rhythm and melody, a bass plunking away to form the song’s foundation and a saxophone adding that extra-special touch that makes great jazz so memorable.

You sit down to eat dinner, and the music envelopes you, unobtrusive and gentle. The music is a perfect complement to the meal, adding that touch of class to a special moment. Nothing jars you out of your pleasant mood, right on through the desert and coffee. Now it’s time to dance!

The beat of the music picks up and you head out onto the dance floor. The jazz music flows on for the rest of the evening, slow, fast, medium, never tiring you, but never falling at all flat. The musical energy gets the party moving, even the people seated at the tables, who sway right along with the music. Every so often, here’s a gasp of recognition when a new song start. Isn’t that Miles Davis? Edith Piaf’s “Autumn Leaves”? Was that Jobim? Mancini?

It’s well after midnight, and the party is winding down. The jazz trio sees the mood shift and plays the “we’ve had a great time,” “it’s time to go,” goodnight songs. You go out the door, listening to those haunting musical strains that lightly fade away. It’s been a wonderful evening!

That’s the Porterhouse Trio.

We’ve got the right music for any party. The Porterhouse Trio is the musical answer for any celebration, whether it’s a cocktail hour, a dinner, an afternoon in the park or an evening on the shore.
