Introduction: When planning your special event, corporate function or club engagement, you always strive to have the best entertainment possible. Custode & Parisi specializes in "Society Jazz Music" ; a perfect fit for cocktail hours, dinner music and any other occasion where a sophisticated atmosphere is desired. Custode & Parisi (Duo/Trio/Quartet) perform both vocal and instrumental selections that span decades. Think: Nat King Cole + Chet Baker + Frank Sinatra + Paul McCartney + Billy Joel. Named Buffalo's Best Jazz Act numerous times, their formula for success is simple: guests who are listening intently will enjoy the music, and those that wish to socialize will be able to do so comfortably.
Custode & Parisi perform a style of music not often heard today. When one thinks back to the excitement of the “Rat Pack” days, it is usually with an endearing sense of nostalgia. Unfortunately, in today’s nightclub marketplace, those days have been left behind. Such was the impetus that propelled Lew Custode and Steve Parisi (two of Western New York’s most sought-after and respected musicians) to combine their talents to recreate what has become a lost art form – the “Supper Club” sound. Those who are listening intently truly enjoy the music, while those in attandance who are socializing can do so comfortably. The perfect fit for sophisticated gatherings!
