Frequently asked questions


Most pianists (jazz) are self-contained and provide their own equipment which is suitable for typical situations. Even though the act generally plays acoustically, if your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your musicians about their sound system requirements.

Each event is different but the typical performance time for pianists (jazz) is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

Booking pianists (jazz) as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

The cost of hiring musicians can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £294. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £50, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £1534.

"We booked Jay at the last minute and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. He contacted me beforehand to discuss the music for our ceremony and wedding breakfast. He went out of his way to get the sheet music for songs that I had requested, which made it really special for us. He is so talented and polite. Don't hesitate to book him for your event."

Stephanie's review of Jay Bradbury - Professional Solo Pianist

Hire Pianists (Jazz)

Ideal for:

Jazz pianists will be perfect for all sorts of formal events. If you are getting married, then a jazz piano player will be the perfect talking point for the guests at your wedding reception or over dinner. Similarly, if you are looking to entertain customers in a restaurant, then a jazz pianist will add to the atmosphere and hopefully leave them suitably impressed. If you're holding an event to entertain clients, then why not add some live music that's guaranteed to impress?

When booking Pianists (Jazz):

Traditional jazz pieces can be interpreted in many different ways and some jazz piano players will sing, while some will play purely instrumental music. For both of these reasons, it's important to carefully look through all of your potential act's promotional material, to guarantee you pick an act that plays the right music for your event.

When booking your musician, make sure you liaise with them if there is an instrument in situ that you would like them to play. Many piano players will bring an electric keyboard with them as a back up, but they will usually require information on how recently any house piano has been tuned.

Prices for Pianists (Jazz):

Most jazz piano players will charge a minimum of £150 for an event, and this will vary depending on the time of the year, the type of event and the travel distance. If you are looking to cut down on travel costs, use the "advanced search" feature to find jazz piano players near you.

About a jazz pianist's repertoire:

When it comes to jazz piano players, there is no shortage of greats for the acts on the directory to look to for inspiration. While the bulk of their material will come from "Real Book" tunes (otherwise known as jazz standards) each piano player will be influenced by different artists. Whether it's Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock or Thelonious Monk, the sound of these jazz greats will echo in the players you hire.

Often, a jazz piano player will also offer some pop hits, re-arranged in a jazz style. This can be a brilliant compromise for those wanting the atmosphere of a jazz musician, but perhaps has a younger audience, or one that's not as receptive to 'pure' jazz. They will usually also be able to take a few requests, but do make sure they are provided as far in advance as possible.
