Cate & Co. performs the Great American Songbook, celebrating compositions from the Golden Age of American songwriting made famous by artists such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett. The music is timeless and enduring, rooted in romance, storytelling, and the rich tradition of classic American jazz.

The band and its members performed throughout New York and Long Island, including The Jazz Loft and Treme, two of Suffolk County’s premier jazz venues. For several years, Cate & Co. Jazz played to standing-room-only audiences, building a loyal community around their shared love of timeless American song.

Led by vocalist Cate Green, the group became known for bringing warmth, intimacy, and elegance to beloved standards, approaching each performance with sincerity and deep respect for the music’s emotional honesty and enduring legacy. What began as a shared admiration for these songs became something much more — a gathering place for musicians, friends, and listeners who believed in the lasting power of music to comfort, connect, and preserve memory.

Cate passed away on July 3, 2023, but her voice, spirit, and love of song remain at the heart of the music.
