About

For generations of Americans, jazz was the only kind of music. Its supple, nuanced sounds filled every venue from the gilded halls of the great American theaters to the smoke-laden speakeasies that speckled the country during Prohibition. Our people grooved and danced to it, our artists painted to it, our writers wrote to it, and our grandparents fell in love to it. 

Jazz was our American heartbeat. 

But times changed, and so did the music. Too often, jazz grew inaccessible or insincere. When audiences migrated to different sounds, jazz became a relic. The spirit of our elders became a holiday novelty, and we boxed it back up after each Christmas.

Not so for T. L. Holloway. For us, jazz is as real as it ever was. Leave pretension and corn at the door, and we know what jazz can do: It freshens the air, lifts your spirit, and ushers in the best of times.

Good jazz is the glidepath to good cheer—and most people don’t even know it. 

We think you do know it, and we’re ready to bring a new, old life to your party: Warm vocals. Crisp, lush instrumentals. The sense that these days are just as good as the good days gone by.

If you seek the nostalgia of a different era—when the pace was a bit slower, the air was a bit cleaner, and everyone enjoyed a good time—give us a call and we’ll make it happen. We’ve been doing it for a decade and counting, and we plan to have these 20s roar just like they did before.

Jazz is the beginning for us, but it’s not the end. You’ve got varied tastes, and we do too. 

Maybe you don’t know how to Charleston, but you sure want to dance. For those occasions, we have a few secret loves: the rock ‘n’ roll of the 50s, the classic rock of the 60s, the disco and funk of the 70s, and other more modern hits. Our jazz background adds flavor to these performances, but our music stays true to each original genre. 

We also have a soft spot for the most simple, traditional sounds: a pair of acoustic guitars. Whether it’s your perfect wedding ceremony, a late afternoon affair in a vineyard, or nighttime on a café patio, we’ve got you covered.
