About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Hi, my name is John Pagnotta. My musician friends call me JP. I've been working as a professional musician for over 30 years. I am a tenor and soprano saxophonist and flautist. I am equally trained in both jazz and classical music and also love classic R n B, and soul. As such, I am happy to provide musical services for ceremonies, cocktails, dinner music, and laid-back dance parties. COCKTAIL / DINNER MUSIC: Easy listening jazz, Latin, R n B, soul and pop hits are played instrumentally on sax and flute with guitar or keyboard accompaniment. The duo may be augmented with the addition of upright bass for a very classy look and full sound. For a more lively cocktail or dinner party, consider the further addition of drums and a vocalist. For the budget conscious, I can play solo sax and flute with recorded backing tracks. PARTY MUSIC: Classic Rock 'n' Roll, R 'n' B, Soul and the latest pop tunes played by trio, quartet, or quintet. Full production p.a. services also included. The cost will depend on the size of the party and the size of the band. CEREMONY MUSIC: From Bach and Beethoven to the Beatles and the latest love songs, your choices of music for ceremony are beautifully played on flute with guitar or keyboard/piano accompaniment. The duo may also be augmented with a violinist or vocalist or both. For the budget conscious, I can also play solo with recorded backing tracks. I only work with Toronto's best musicians. Thanks for considering me for your function.

Review by George & Paula H.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on October 2, 2024From Toronto, ON

John provided an impressive mix of jazz and popular music which ensured a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere for the 18 guests celebrating a 75th birthday in our private lounge. He has an easy going style and was very interested to know what type of music would fit the music tastes of the host and guests. I would strongly recommend him for an event where easy listening in the background would be desired for a group gathering. He is a skilled saxophonist and also able to put on a more dynamic show to entertain a larger audience.

John JP Pagnotta:

Thanks very much George and Paula for your review, and thanks once again for choosing us to entertain you and your guests. It was our sincere pleasure to provide the soundtrack for your celebration and really appreciate your congeniality and warm hospitality. 'Til the next one. Cheers!
