The Crotchet Club is a jazz trio which brings together three of the most exciting young musicians on the London scene.
Having met at the Royal Academy of Music, we’ve performed all over the UK and Europe. Our repertoire includes the full range of jazz standards, from romantic ballads to toe-tapping bossa novas, but rather than sweat over set lists, we prefer to call tunes as we go, playing what we think best suits the room at your special occasion.
The trio is made up of Jacky on piano, Nick on double bass and Oren on drums. We’ll provide the equipment, fully insured and PAT tested. And if you’d like a larger ensemble, we can add sax, trumpet and trombone at your discretion.
Previous clients include: Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, The Mayfair Arts Club, The RAC Club, Mercedes-Benz, The Mandarin Oriental, Soho House, ITV and The Ritz.

We need a performance space of at least 5 meters x 5 meters. In addition, we need access to a plug, from which we can run an extension lead.
We provide all the instruments and amplification - all of which is fully insured and PAT tested.
We need to know where the venue is, and if there is already a piano at the venue that can be used.
We play background music of a similar style in between sets.
We really enjoy the range of gigs we do, from mediterranean weddings to corporate christmas events and private garden parties. We aim to create an atmospheric backdrop whilst guests talk, eat and relax.
The great jazz trios - Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans and Nat King Cole!
Previous clients include: Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, The Mayfair Arts Club, The RAC Club, Mercedes-Benz, The Mandarin Oriental, Soho House, ITV and The Ritz.
Weddings, corporate events and private parties.
We usually arrive 1 hour before the start of the performance, and our set up takes 15-20 minutes.
We're happy to play outside, but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
Rather than sweating over set-lists, we prefer to call tunes as we go, playing what we think best suits the mood at that point. Should you have any song requests, we can accommodate these prior to the event.
Clients always appreciate our communication skills prior to the event, and professionalism throughout.
