Alex Canales Trio performing live jazz at a New Orleans event

What The Trio Sounds Like

Some events need energy. Others need atmosphere. Most need both at the right time.
That is where the Alex Canales Trio comes in.
With New Orleans saxophonist Alejandro “Alex” Canales leading the trio, the group creates a polished live soundtrack for events that want energy and ambience without the heft of a full production. Think cocktail hours, corporate receptions, client dinners, arts events, private parties, and venues that want strong musicianship with good taste.
The trio draws from:
– Swing and jazz standards
– Brazilian bossa nova and samba
– Soulful grooves and R&B colors
– Latin classics
– Original music
The result feels versatile, warm, and easy to place in a room. It can stay elegant and understated, or lean forward with a little more energy when the setting calls for it.
If you want live music to add class without overpowering the room, this trio fits the bill. We bring swing, bossa nova, soulful jazz, Latin flavors, and original music into one clean, flexible sound.
