Our personalized service and attention to detail will make planning your event stress free. We are completely self-contained, fully insured, and give special price consideration to charities and non-profits.
Born and raised in Ledgewood, New Jersey, trombonist Gerard Carelli formed his first band in high school. One of his first gigs was at his dad’s Elks Club, beginning a lifelong study in song selection, tempos and the art of playing for dancing.
With an education degree from North Texas State University and recordings with the Grammy nominated One O’clock Lab Band, Gerard moved to Northern California. He freelanced for several years before winning a chair with the Ray Charles Orchestra for a world tour.
Tired of the road, Gerard moved to New York playing Latin gigs with Hector Lavoe, Manny Oquendo and Ray Barretto and subbing on numerous Broadway shows. He also played for singers Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Mathis, Mel Torme and jazz artists Charlie Persip, Gerry Mulligan and Mel Lewis and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
