We are playing for a police ball here in town on Saturday. We are playing for the dance, 9pm to 1am. They want some cocktail hour and dinner hour music too, and it's looking like it's just me and the drummer for that... the bass player can't make it and our singer can't sing for that many hours without losing her voice.

So, I guess we will be jamming! Any suggestions on what to play?

I'm thinking just some jazz standards, blues tunes, latin and whatever else I can just comp through. Throw in little melodies here and there.

It's just background music, but we don't want to look like complete fools either...
