Bringing a touch of elegance to your wedding, event or private party.
Jazz Nouveau - the brainchild of Joseph Calderazzo, was birthed one afternoon in 2003 whilst trying to figure out how he could transform songs that were well known and current into pieces that carried an air of timeless sophistication.
Creating rhythms that echo the heartbeat of the modern metropolis they call home, Jazz Nouveau have developed a sound that not only uniquely reverberates the city of Sydney, it also merges tantalizing cosmopolitan flavours with a classic attention-grabbing vintage style!
The band features a revolving door of amazing Sydney musicians with guest vocalists including Susannah Mirana and Melinda Jackson, and of course, Joseph on guitar.
What the people are saying...
Can you please convey our heartfelt thanks; it really was after the ceremony the highlight of our celebrations.
Best wishes from us both,
Christine Gee (the wedding of Australia's best selling author Bryce Courtenay & Christine Gee, October 2011)
