About Me

Frisk, featuring lovely vocalist, Evita Frazer, is exactly what you want it to be.
We are a standard trio; however, if you are looking for a for a more danceable, pop/R&B sound, try our 4, 5 or 6 piece set up.
We adjust our size according to your needs!
The Mission Frisk can make your event sizzle. We're an energetic ensemble delivering the best in jazz, pop and R&B music. Pretty ballads and soulful instrumentals greet your guests as they arrive, serenade during champagne and cocktails, and soothe in the background during dinner. Of course we're always happy to pull out the stops any time and launch into full performance mode for your dancing and entertainment enjoyment. Our selection, energy, good humor, appearance and professionalism make us highly desirable for a wide variety of events. We are a small intimate group with a BIG sound. We have fun performing and it shows. Besides covering the jazz standards and pop favorites that everyone loves and remembers, we can also professionally emcee your most special events. We understand our mission perfectly: to bring all our talents and skills to bear in making your event a truly memorable one. All at an affordable price. The Chanteuse “She takes over the room with her charm and voice.” Evita has been reciting Sinatra and Ella tunes since age six, and has developed into a performer who captures audiences of all ages. Whether singing the National Anthem at The Pond or Angel Stadium, or performing at corporate functions, weddings, and jazz clubs, more and more people are remembering her name. Clarity, range, and class: Evita is the Real Item. On Sax Fans and friends like to call him “Cadillac Dan.” So what he's never owned a Caddy, or that no one's even sure how the name started. Maybe it’s the throaty “big-block V8” sound of his old Selmer tenor, or the solid consistency he packs from 30 years as a musical professional and band leader. Dan's swath of experience spans everything from club engagements, private parties, corporate events, weddings, to Temptations side man. Sound Delivery To know us is to love our BOSE "L1 Cylindrical Radiator-- Loudspeaker" system. It's proven our ideal sound transport device, performing with excellence in virtually every type of venue. The music is crisp and clear from any location, and the design allows the band to hear exactly what the audience hears. We have easy control of the sound and there is nothing between us and the audience. You are quite welcome to use it for your own announcements and presentations, sparing the added expense of securing your own P.A. system. Our Clients will tell you ... "Thank you for your professionalism and quality entertainment. You made our event just like you promised -- SPECIAL. All of our quests thought you were amazing and I thought you were a pleasure to do business with. We will do it again." —Mona Evenhart, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation 8/05"Frisk is one of our preferred vendors and shares our company’s beliefs and values.

We have enjoyed your services immensely and look forward to booking you again in 2006. Thanks for making everything so simple for me again this year."—Joanna Kopec, Dependable Graham Heating and Air Conditioning 01/06"I had the pleasure of hearing Frisk perform in Long Beach and Buena Park recently, and really enjoyed both evenings. If you love jazz ... you gotta go hear 'em."—David Williams, VP Roland Electronics, Engineer, 2nd Floor Recording Studios 04/06Thank you Dan! You were fabulous. We truly enjoyed your sound and style.

Sounds Like: Evita has a rich, sensual and powerful voice. The emotion in her song delivery runs true and deep. Her style and sound has been compared to Ella Fitgerald and Sarah Vaughn and when it comes time to get down, she can take on the blusiness of Etta James or Susan Tedeschi. Evita is a true performer and a thrill to watch!
