Video Slideshow from our Performance at The Smithsonian Portrait Gallery. You can buy or download our new CD "Bop, Ballads & Blues" from CDBaby.com. The Potomac Jazz Project is one of the DC area's more popular jazz groups, and has appeared at well-known DC venues such as Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Smithsonian, The Phillips Collection, Twins Jazz, and Cafe Nema. We are regulars at jazz venues Extra Virgin, Laporta's and Sala Thai. Attention Event Planners: The Potomac Jazz Project - Our original ensemble: Sax, Piano, Bass and Drums. Most of the clips you hear and see on this web site are that format, and that is the most common configuration for a jazz quartet. We can add a second horn and/or a vocalist for a bigger sound or party! Potomac Jazz Trio - Jazz trios provide a nice full sound for quieter settings or as background music for an event. A great choice for smaller events or venues, or when there is a limited budget. Potomac Jazz Duo - Duos of guitar or piano plus bass provides a nice full sound for quieter settings or as background music for an event. A great choice for smaller events or venues, or when there is a limited budget. And we not only play jazz standards, but we can spice up the evening with bossa novas, tangos, songs with a Spanish influence, and even some pop tunes. Soloists - Our pianists and guitarists are among the best in the DC area, and we can arrange solo performances for any event, either on their own, or as prelude to another event. Classical, pop, or jazz - the repertoire is broad and deep!

"It’s easy to forget that jazz is supposed to be as much fun as it is arty. That’s where the Potomac Jazz Project comes in."
In the Press "Take the A Train..." PJP Founder Stan Hamrick talks about law and jazz in The Springfield Connection Happy Clients!! Stan and the other musicians from Potomac Jazz Project were wonderful. They were terrific musicians, very professional in appearance and demeanor. We wanted fantastic music to enhance our Corporate Anniversary Celebration and they did not let us down. I will most certainly contact Stan in the future for other events. Potomac Jazz Project played both the ceremony and reception music for our wedding. They did an amazing job! We received many compliments. The jazz, bossa nova, and standards they played were lovely and fun to dance to. Would recommend them to anyone!!
Stan and his band have been wonderful, they were punctual and extremely accommodating to my request even though my request change quite a few times before the event. They are excellent players and it was a priviledge to have them play at Windward's corporate event and this is a band that I will definitely use time and time again. The Potomac Jazz Project was absolutely awesome, they really created the musical atmosphere I wanted to achieve. The employees which were a mixture of individuals really liked the music and they were dancing and this was not a "real dancing" crowd, but they were dancing due to the fabulous job the band did. The band was outstanding. Everyone raved about the music. They played longer then scheduled which was awesome. I scheduled them for our 2007 holiday party. Amazing. Perfect. Started off the wedding reception just right!!! The Potomac Jazz Project was just another perfect part of our perfect wedding day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We highly recommend Potomac Jazz Project! They are exceptionally talented and professional and love what they do. Their music added a very classy element to both our wedding ceremony and our wedding reception. Fantastic - will definitely hire again! I am just back from my honeymoon, and just wanted to let you now that we had the best of fun with your band playing at our wedding. I got lots of feedback from my guests and everybody loved your music. My friend Larry (I heard he bugged you to play more) went down on his knees and thanked me for not having a cheesy wedding band but just great music. |
