Our mission is to create and curate memorable live jazz entertainment experiences that your clients and audiences talk about with enthusiasm after every event! What makes our approach special is the "Recognition Factor."

It invites the audience to lean in, sparking conversation and connection. How We Elevate Your Event: We don’t just provide background music; we provide a curated atmosphere. Whether it’s a high-stakes corporate gala, an intimate boutique wedding, or a luxury brand launch, our ensembles are styled and coached to match the aesthetic excellence of your venue. Bespoke Curation: From solo "Noir" pianists to full "Big Band" Pop Nouveau orchestras. Versatile Repertoire: A library of hundreds of modern hits rearranged with syncopation, swing, and soul. Visual Sophistication: Our performers reflect the "Nouveau" aesthetic—classic elegance with a modern edge. By choosing Pop Nouveau Jazz, you aren't just booking a band; you are securing an immersive experience. We specialize in that "golden hour" energy—where the music is sophisticated enough for cocktails and conversation, yet infectious enough to keep guests engaged and energized throughout the night. Pop Nouveau has decades of experience performing at weddings all over the planet! We are ready to provide you with the perfect soundtrack to enhance every moment of your special day! From setting the mood for your "I do" moment, to creating a swinging vibe for cocktail hour, to providing some sultry sounds for dinner which lead right into an unforgettable all night dance party!

Serafina SF
Serafina SF
San Francisco
Against all odds, we have opened up our newest restaurant, Serafina, This little gem of a restaurant, perched on top of Nob Hill, has truly been a labor of love, as we were set to open at the end of February, and then had to do so during the ensuing pandemic....We are so excited about Serafina, which has been a concept in the making for many years for us. Serafina was Maurizio’s grandmother, and the name of her eponymous restaurant in the heart of Trastevere (Rome), where Maurizio first began making pizzas at the age of 14. She was a tough woman and wonderful chef.. an inspiration for his love of cooking then, and inspiration of how he is determined to persevere despite the difficult circumstances of today. We hope to create a warm, elegant space where neighbors and friends can come together. We have an amazing team with our partner Giuseppe Terminiello, the co-owner of Piccolo Forno with us (we also own Ideale, in North Beach as well), and Umberto Cannarsa, an accomplished and incredibly talented chef from Rome, who had his own successful restaurants there.
