Duo Expressions

We from Duo Expressions pride ourselves to be more than working musicians. We truly care and enjoy helping you make your event perfect and memorable. With long-standing experience performing at weddings and corporate events we offer a selection of the finest Jazz, Blues and Bossa Nova songs that can be enjoyed as background music during your event, a special feature in your ceremony, a highlight during speeches, or live accompaniment for dancing. We know how to observe an event and make sure the music is appropriate in song choice and volume at all times. Our set up is swift and can be ready before your guests arrive. Two compelling improvisers emerging from London's jazz scene, James Kitchman (UK) & Sylvia Schmidt (DE) are an accomplished guitar-vocal duo. Originally drawn together by the richness and variety of the jazz tradition, they have recently explored more diverse sources of inspiration, including Anglo-American folk ballads of the Appalachian mountains. Their sound embraces the dynamic tension between forces of preservation and transformation, creating a space in which the haunting beauty of nostalgia and irresistibility of change intersect.
