About / Biography

BRIEFLY

The Lagoon Collective offers a repertoire of songs ranging from 1901 to the great classics of the 1950s performed in a classy and elegant way and expand to modern funk/disco music touching also latin-american rhythms as boleros/bossa and so on.

What is special about this collective is the solid friendship that underlies the music it offers.

The musicians who belong to Lagoon Collective are some of the best jazz musicians in northern Italy who have known each other and played together since 2005.

It happens that the band also offers interpretations of pop and rock songs in an acoustic manner.

In collaboration with guest singers, the band proposes a repertoire of Bossa, Latin and Bolero songs (ask for details).

We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events in Venice, whole Italy and abroad.

DETAILS

The Band accommodates almost any repertoire requests from the client (within certain limits and conditions).

The Band is a large family of musicians and can vary according to the client's specific requests and budget. From simple and intimate duo to band with 6-7 elements.

In spite of the variety of instruments involved one constant of Lagoon Collective is the colour sound of the band: it uses almost exclusively acoustic instruments making the Band capable of performing with or without amplification in a wide variety of situations but also it become extremely modern with electric guitars, groovy basses, synths and more.

Instruments involved regularly are clarinet, guitar, banjo, double bass, drums, vocals, violin, saxophone, harp, keys, brasses.

The Venice Jazz Band works with sound services in the area and can easily arrange and provide the necessary instrumentation (PA system and more) to suit various locations.

VENICE SPECIALISTS

The Lagoon Collective performs regularly in Italy and is very familiar with Venice with its critical logistical issues, but relying on a network of local collaborators ensures a smooth and easy unfolding of the concert set-up and execution on the island.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

We worked for big private corporate events and the biggest one was in Sicily.


What's your favourite type of event?

Corporate events and weddings


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started gigging whilst at conservatory and our performances developed from there. Since we started we’ve performed at hundreds of weddings, parties and events across Italy and Europe.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Jazz and swing era of the 20s is where we started but we love the motown 70s music too and everything modern too! We love good music and if the music is not that good we make it good!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 8 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them. Or we discuss the repertoire in advance with the client and prepare it.
If a whole new repertoire is needed no problem! We will need some extra time and extra money and we sort it :)


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Read one of our recent reviews:
The band were so perfect for our wedding! They dealt with some very unpredictable weather, so had to change locations but they saw us through the day from ceremony, aperitif, dinner and party! We couldn't have asked for a better band and they knew exactly what we wanted! Big thank you for being part of our special day and would highly recommend to anyone wanting the band for their wedding - you won't be disappointed.


can you provide specific repertoire

Yes of course. Our offer includes 8 songs on your request. If you want more or want a whole specific repertoire Let us know.
