welcome to the recu jazz ensemble!

We’re passionate about our music, and that passion shows: whether we’re playing at dinners, weddings, or anything in between, the crowd always gets caught up in the magic. That’s the power of good music (and okay, we’ll just say it: good musicians).

Class with Edge

As professionally trained jazz musicians, we perform in a variety of lineups for a variety of functions. More importantly, we perform a variety of music styles, from Hasidic to Funk to Brazilian and everything in between. We’re as comfortable riffing exotic rhythms as we are playing a timeless Hasidic melody. The result is a unique experience that blends the discipline and musicianship of traditional music with an international flavor.

Jazz Meets Jewish Music

Jazz and Jewish music? No connection. That is, not until now. As a religious Jew and devout Hasid, bandleader Shlomo Recu combines his formal music training with his knowledge of Jewish music to elevate traditional tunes and bring top-level jazz to the religious arena. Jewishly-observant crowds can now enjoy traditional songs in a jazz style. What’s more, our classical pieces have an added depth thanks to the Hasidic tunes we play. This jazz is all heart!

Function Band

A lively jazz or funk band makes all the difference at corporate functions, holiday parties, gala dinners and the like.

Dinner Music

Traditional Jewish music with a jazzy flavor sets the tone at weddings and events.

Custom Lineup

A solo or trio provides the perfect background music for your restaurant, intimate gathering, or event reception.
