The Julie Lyon Quartet is a swinging, dynamic jazz quartet performing the very best in jazz, standards, blues, swing and be-bop. This Orlando, Florida based quartet brings new life to the old standards with fresh, signature arrangements performed in the classic style of greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughn. They are stylish and sophisticated yet always dedicated to the great tradition of a uniquely American art form.
Their music harkens back to the jazz era of the 30s, 40s and 50s but with modern interpretations and arrangements making them both timeless and innovative. They bring to each performance a great passion for their music guided by Julie's soulful interpretation of the lyric and the irresistible groove laid down by the masterful rhythm section. They are intimately aware of the needs of their clients and pride themselves on their ability to tailor their performance to meet the client's needs. For private events and corporate parties with a more subdued atmosphere they are quiet enough for conversation, yet lively enough to keep the party hopping. For concerts and festivals they will delight and entertain you from the first note to the last. The Julie Lyon Quartet provides accessible, entertaining music for everyone.
Julie Lyon Quartet is available for Weddings, Private Parties, Corporate functions and for any occasion that calls for the very finest in live jazz.
The men in the group are also available as The Tom Cabrera Trio.
Julie and all 4 of you; I'm gonna check out your calendar again to see where you guys are playing. Can't believe I haven't caught you out there yet with the "new" line-up. Betsy told me you were at the "Ladies of the Blues" show at BB's, but I couldn't find you! Yikes! Talk to you soon, I hope! Bulldog Ben on Orlando's south side...
