How?  Because the musicians who make up SJP have been playing collectively for more than 250 years!  Combine that experience with a love for performing, and you can bet the SJP will set your event on fire.

SJP won’t break your piggy bank, either.  We’re pros, but we all have day jobs, too, so we’re not making our milk money on your dollar.  This allows SJP pricing to be very competitive.  Drop us a line for a demo and a quote—we have no doubt you’ll be happy with the result.

 WHAT IS ‘SJP,’ ANYWAY?

The genesis of SJP goes back to 2004 when Peter Kwon, Doc Benson, Mike Dauerer, and Bruce Zuckrow formed a jazz combo.  The idea was to experiment with improvisation and to work a few club dates.  When Bill Fleck heard the result, he asked to join, and the others said, “Sure, why not?”  The combo worked for about two years under various names with different configurations of players, and rehearsed long hours at Doc’s plant in Port Jervis.

One fine day, a client asked the band, “What’s the name of the group?  I need to make posters.”  Scrambling for a moniker, we decided to pull a name out of thin air—and SJP was born!

SJP gained a following pretty quickly.  Then, a wedding job sent us in search of vocalists.  Luckily, Bill knew April and Greg Marl (formerly of the Brats, an area favorite).  Both can sing the spots off your favorite tune, and Greg is like a human jukebox, playing guitars, bass, keyboards, and the bass trombone.

Our bassist, Jim Wegrzyn, and woodwind player Roger Ericson come to SJP with a list of musical credits as long as your arm.

But don’t take our word for it; take a listen instead!  Check out our audio clips.
