Jazz and Swing bands

Stylish live versions of swing, jazz and jive classics

If you’re looking to create a lively yet sophisticated atmosphere at your reception then it’s hard to beat a jazz band.

It can be difficult to find music that will please everyone, but jazz - whether it’s cool Rat Pack-style swing or irresistibly danceable ceroc and jive - tends to hit the spot because it appeals to older guests without alienating younger ones.

FIND THE RIGHT STYLE FOR YOUR WEDDING:

• Classic swing - The Rat-Pack meets Robbie
• Jump-jive – like “King of the Swingers”? You’ll love this!
• Cocktail jazz – sheer elegance: think cocktails at the Ritz
• Trad jazz – the sounds of New Orleans
  

Jazz ensembles can range in size from a duo to a full 25-piece big band, but a band of 4-7 musicians is perfect for most wedding receptions. Jazz bands are fully self-contained, providing their own PA and recorded music during their breaks.

If you like the idea of live jazz, but also want some variety, why not compile an iPod playlist of more contemporary music for the band to put on during their breaks?
