Live Jazz in the Wisconsin Fox Valley
John Pfeiffer – Solo Guitar – My priority is to limit my song list and focus on learning and recording new solo guitar arrangements. To this end, I have recorded arrangements developed by other musicians, as well working up some personal arrangements using prerecorded backing tracks but only when other musicians can’t join me!
The John Pfeiffer Duo/Trio – Many customers prefer a duo of guitar and bass, or another solo instrument. An advantage of this is also to share in singing. In this setting, I can provide jazz swing, ballads and Latin jazz, featuring myself on guitar and Many term this music as mainstream jazz, drawn from the “Great American Songbook” of the last century to the present. I am are very much tuned into setting the mood, playing requests, and not over-powering volume.
The John Pfeiffer Duo was booked regularly at The Seasons Restaurant up to the restaurant closing in 2011. We were awarded the Post-Crescent “Golden Fork Award” for best music while dining in 2006 and 2007.
The John Pfeiffer Band – A larger ensemble is called upon for performances and special events. In these instances the band line-up varies and will include: drums, keyboards or piano, additional horns, and featured singers. The event or performance drives the make-up of the band and also the music selection, many times selected specifically for the event.
Oldies, Blues, Country Rock, and Variety – For good times music, I continue to play with other bands on request, featuring a mixture of styles and songs based on the musicians involved. Some of this music is Jam-band based selections, or just songs we all know. We typically have a long song list and we play requests (including band requests). Don’t forget to visit “Other Bands” under the “My Music”.
The Marc Sackman Quartet – Marc on flute and sax, husband and wife Evan & Jacque Kreider on bass/drums, and myself on guitar.
The Big Band Reunion – This is a 17 piece band featuring top musicians of the area, playing weekly from September to May.Please see the band’s Facebook page for more information on this great band.
The Little Big Band Reunion – A smaller ensemble plays every other week through the summer.
Neenah Ambassadors and The HASBand – local community bands
Every year presents another mixture of bookings of duos, trios, and larger group performances. I have been fortunate to able to play regularly and with accomplished musicians.
