Jingle Bell Rock with Gabriel's Trumpet

Decorative streamers for the Holiday season

Black Friday shoppers took a welcome respite from discounts and sales to reflect upon the meaning of Christmas with the Piccola carolers and Heralding Trumpets. Both ensembles were positioned in front of the beautiful and dazzling Christmas Tree, Stoneridge Mall, Pleasanton.

Music was the perfect compliment

Music from the Great American Songbook

There was a family celebration of a woman celebrating her 90th birthday. Ambient music provided that perfect touch during an excellent brunch at Scott's Seafood Grille and Bar in Oakland.  The party planner shared her praise- "The music was perfect. Everyone enjoyed the music, especially the birthday girl, 90 years young." Celebrity Gems arranges Jazz music, ethnic music, and dance bands in Oakland, San Jose, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek.
