About / Biography

This top-drawer band proves why they’re the first-call jazz/swing outfit for weddings/events/functions available for hire. Led by one of most charismatic singers on the UK jazz scene, his impressive swing/jazz vocal talent has been heard on TV & Radio commercials in UK and Europe, in his own concert on Jazz FM, at UK jazz festivals and in sell-out shows at world-famous Ronnie Scott’ s Jazz Club. Completing the wow-factor are the band’ s exceptional musicians, described as ‘the cream of UK straight-ahead jazz musicians’, selected for their experience working in the event/wedding/function sector. What’s more, this singer and his band have played several times on TV (E4′s Made In Chelsea, BBC & Wedding TV), have entertained royalty twice and been booked by many celebrities/TV & sports stars, as well as by luxe brands like Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Reel Art Press for campaigns/promotions in New York, Far East & London. Loved for their unrivalled renditions of 1950s/60s era American songbook standards, their large repertoire list also covers all era’s of jazz/swing: everything from hot 20′s jazz Charleston style, 30′s Golden Age favs, 40′s swing/jive, 50′s/60′s big band swing & Rat Pack, latin/bossa nova, right up to modern swing a la Michael Buble or contemporary jazz. And with a sprinkling of jazz-ed up pop/soul classics on the list too makes them perfect for weddings, parties or corporate events. The band offer a range of line-ups - a solo jazz singer, or a vocals/keys duo right up to an 8 piece band - assures they will fit any occasion whether it’ s small & intimate or large & lively, whether clients are seeking a full dance floor, a memorable background vibe, superb over-dinner/wedding breakfast music or after-dinner jazz/swing entertainment. For multi-era vintage events the band can change stage wear, if preferred, to reflect each era played, eg, 1st set dressed in 1920′s jazz age changing to classic ‘ rat pack’ tailoring for 2nd set.
