We are an energetic Rhythm and Blues/Soul/ Smooth Jazz band that has garnered radio airplay around the country. We are familiar with playing in many different settings. We put on a high energy show, our sax and guitar player are known for their showmanship, frequently standing on chairs in the audience. Yet we frequently also play dinner music and background music during receptions. If you are trying to avoid the chicken dance, we are your band! Chances are you have already heard these veteran musicians, as they have been making music for years with acts like the Isley Brothers, Don Mclean, The Shirelles, John Platania, Bernard Purdie and Guilherme Franco. We do a lot of original music, however we do perform a healthy dose of familiar standards as well. The covers we do range from Grover Washington Jr.'s "Soulful Struttin'" and "Mr. Magic" to standards such as "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and "Cantaloupe Island" and R&B classics like "Get Down on It," “Pick Up the Pieces,” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.” We are all professional, we show up on time, play as we are expected to play and clean up after ourselves! “Your music and rhythm was so delicious and infectious that I literally was compelled to get up and dance! Thank you for a wonderful evening.” Deanie Gordon, Keltic House, Fishkill "The classy tradition of dinner jazz is making a temporary return, but don’t think it’s your Daddy’s dinner jazz. It ain’t! All at once, it’s smooth and sultry, yet energetic and electrifying." More Sugar “Dangling Success blends smooth saxophone melodies with passionate guitar grooves and foot-tapping, danceable backbeats.” The Poughkeepsie Journal
