About Us
From playing at America Ferrera's Wedding to opening for Chaka Khan at the US Open Tennis Women's Finals, Jason and Elysa Hochman (Jay & Lee), provide a sophisticated atmosphere like no other. Jay and Lee's repertoire consists of their own compositions as well as remixes of Spanish, Classical and Flamenco style compositions from artists such as the Gipsy Kings, Paco De Lucia, Ottmar Liebert, Paco Peña and many others. Jason composes and performs beautiful and soulful melodies while Elysa compliments these melodies with glamorous and ornate rhythmic and percussive guitar playing. The married couple play as one, creating an incredible and powerful atmosphere. Solo Guitar, Percussionist and Bassist are additional options.
