We can provide groups of from two to six musicians, providing foot-tapping music, or dreamy backgrounds, with or without male and female vocals, and we can provide swing dancers who can give introductory classes to the Lindy-Hop and Charleston and generally interact with the audience to get people on to the dance floor and contribute to the success of your event.

These bands are ideal for background music, boat trips, weddings and corporate receptions, parties, and college balls.

The smallest lineup available is:

Tenor saxophone (doubling flute and clarinet) + Piano

To this can be added:

Double bass
Drums
Trumpet
Trombone

We also work regularly with a number of male and female vocalists who sing in the "Rat-Pack" style.

Our bands specialize in the songbooks of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Rogers & Hart, Jerome Kern, Harry Warren, Jimmy van Heusen, and the other great song-writers and performers of the Twentieth-Century.

Recently there has been an upsurge of interest in swing-style music because of albums in this style by Phil Collins, Robbie Williams and Rod Stewart and Jamie Cullum and we can provide most of the songs from their albums.

Have a look at our sample tune-list, which will give you some idea of the kinds of things we can do. Our actual repertoire is vast and covers most styles and periods of jazz.

Live Public Performances by our Jazz Bands

Most of our work is at private events, and it is often difficult to invite a prospective client to them, but we do sometimes play at events to which the public have access. For instance we are currently playing at Cliveden House for their monthly Pimms Cruise & Jazz Lunch.
