it takes expert crowd scanning to play appropriate cocktail and dining enhancement. is that guy tapping his foot? does that woman recognize this standard? did that guy just come up and say, 'dudes, i can't believe you guys are playing floyd!' it's all about creating the right vibe. but most importantly, it's about not playing too loud.

some examples of what i can do:

jazz trio mp3
solo piano/jazz mp3
solo piano/classical mp3
