| All selections listed as instrumentals or male vocalist tunes can be played by a four piece group or larger. The duo or trio can play most of these songs except uptempo rock and R&B. A five piece group (with female vocalist) or larger can play all the tunes on the list (except for a very small number that require the guitar player). | |
 SOLO (one piece) -- Solo piano player or solo Classical flute and clarinet by John Payne. John also plays solo flute, sax, and/or clarinet for wedding ceremonies, usually in conjunction with leading a full band at the reception. DUO (two pieces)-- John Payne on soprano, alto, tenor saxophones, clarinet, and flute, with piano player. TRIO (three pieces)--Add bass player to duo. FOUR PIECES --John Payne on saxes, clarinet, and flute, with keyboard player/male vocalist Brian Silva, bass player, and drummer. FIVE, SIX AND SEVEN PIECES -- Add female vocalist Krisanthi (Kris) Pappas, guitar player, and/or trumpet player. EIGHT PIECES -- Add a third horn player (sax or trombone) for a "little big band" sound. The duo is recommended for background, not dancing, music. The trio is recommended for background and "light" dancing (swing and ballads). Four piece and larger groups can cover all kinds of dance music including rock, Motown, R&B, Latin, swing, ethnic, and jazz, and can provide fuller, higher quality background music than a duo or trio.
