I'm setting up casual life drawing sessions, with a model, spacious former victorian ball room, natural light, bar, and was considering a pianist to play some light music or perhaps an acoustic guitarist. And no teacher to hinder your free expression. To any artists out there does this sound good?

Most artists who have been serious about their work for a few years have probably moved way beyond drawing classes so your question should probably be re-asked to apply to art students.
As to artists and music I always work with music (and sometimes television) in the background in my studio and all of the other artists I know do the same.
Music is good but I think live music might be taking it a little too far for students or young artists. Most people will stop and watch (as well as listen to) live music being performed and this type of distraction might not produce the effect you're aiming for. It sounds more like a coffee house than a studio for serious art study.
Outside of the distractions of live music the rest of your concept sounds pretty cool to me.

I think it's a wonderful idea. I had a teacher who added music to his sessions, and it was absolutely invigorating! Also, we once had a model in a class that played the guitar - Ioved it!
