John Avila plays great music, keeps the volume appropriate, is reliable, and looks sharp.  As a professional, conservatory trained musician, I will do everything necessary to make your musical entertainment experience enjoyable, easy, and carefree.  I can vary the amount of performers according to your taste, budget, and space requirements.

The John Avila Trio features guitar, bass, and drums.  We play classic instrumental Jazz, Blues, and more.  We play familiar music made famous by Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, and many, many other great American composers.  Our trio provides a lot of music in a small ensemble.

And we can easily add other instruments or a vocalist, if that is your desire, to form a larger sounding ensemble, The John Avila Group.

For more intimate settings, you may prefer the The John Avila Duo, guitar and bass.  I play in this small configuration for WDCB's Jazz Thursdays and at many other fine establishments.

Whatever ensemble you prefer, my repertoire is familiar and fun for all audiences - ideal for restaurants, nightclubs, wine bars, as well as private parties, wedding reception cocktail hours, and corporate events.  We’d love to play for you.  Please listen to our music and contact us to discuss your musical needs.  Thank you.
