    About us

    Pragmatic and compact, with plenty of musical power.

    Sylvia Schmidt and Seb Sylas met while studying Jazz Performance at Middlesex University in 2011. Since graduating they have worked together and individually across jazz, swing, pop, funk, R&B and disco, most notably with Between the Lines Premier Jazz Band and Blue Swan Ensemble.

    Clients kept asking for just the front line, voice and saxophone. So we built a duo where the rest of the band comes in a box.

    With a solid stage presence and a feel for the room, we can softly soothe the atmosphere or get your guests dancing. We listen first, and we'd love to hear about your event.
