Cocktail Piano...
Rick Charles has a special act for those
that prefer a more intimate or
"background" performance, this version is
most suited to corporate and private
functions where live entertainment can
really make a positive contribution to the
success of the event.
"Cocktail piano is a more
economical alternative to the
traditional jazz trio or quartet."
An elegant way to greet guests in a
classic setting, this musical option lends
itself to smaller rooms or entry ways that
need the warmth that the piano
provides. Rick can either perform on an
existing piano or he can bring his own
digital piano and sound equipment as
needed.
