Valentine’s 2015

Hollywood Rhythm Kings had a delightful Valentine’s 2015 playing an outdoor corporate event in a beautiful courtyard. Fancy cupcakes were available for all to have a major sugar intake to go along with the romantic jazz classics. Guest vocalist Michael Morano has a true rat pack flair and way with guest. Guest pianist George G. Woo dazzled with great artistry and technique.

Celebrating A Life

Hollywood Rhythm Kings were honored to celebrate a life by performing at a memorial service for a jazz fan. His family wanted a joyful feeling for the reception after his memorial. We were touched and impressed with the joyful feeling jazz can bring. Christian Boyd subbed on piano on this gig.

Six Sets Of Jazz

What a fun gig it was to play six sets of jazz outdoors on a beautiful day. Hollywood Rhythm Kings kept the standards flowing at a real estate development opening. Christian Boyd subbed on piano. The home shoppers came and out of our tent to enjoy tunes and refreshments around their condo shopping adventures. A delightful day in a delightful area.
