Parties

Mady and micThe majority of Mady Kaye’s engagements are private parties.  She has a wealth of experience in all kinds of situations, from anniversary parties to holiday parties to cabaret shows.

Jazz standards make up the largest proportion of her song list.  Songs by such composers as George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Duke Ellington and Cole Porter are the mainstays, with some blues and originals thrown in for good measure.

Band Size

In public, Ms. Kaye often performs in a trio: piano, upright bass and vocals. For small parties or receptions, this can work quite well. For a dancing crowd, adding a drummer is a necessity. Horn(s) can be added and/or guitar for a bigger band sound. All things are possible. Ms. Kaye also has a complete big band book, with classic hits from the big band era. The band can range in size from ten to seventeen players, depending on the size and needs of the party.

Shows

Mady Kaye has created custom Cabaret shows for dozens of functions, from 50th wedding anniversaries to Symphony luncheons to awards banquets to fundraisers: short shows, longs shows, funny shows, romantic shows, corporate shows. You name it. Song lyrics can be created for any situation, making the event unique and very personal.
