The 1920s era represents one of the most distinctive periods in musical history, characterized by the birth of jazz, swing rhythms, and the sophisticated sounds that defined the Roaring Twenties. Professional 1920s musicians and bands bring authentic vintage charm to modern events, combining period-accurate instrumentation with the energy and style that made this decade legendary.
Professional vintage performers typically feature traditional jazz instruments including trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and upright bass, often accompanied by period-appropriate vocals and choreography. Many groups extend their repertoire beyond the 1920s to include music from 1930s era musicians and bands and even 1940s era musicians and bands, creating a broader vintage experience. Modern 1920s tribute acts frequently offer contemporary chart hits reimagined in authentic jazz arrangements, allowing guests to enjoy familiar songs with a sophisticated vintage twist.
The 1920s was a decade of incredible indulgence, often associated with bathtub gin, bootleggers and the glitz of the art deco movement. Entertainment from this era draws on early jazz, Charleston rhythms and the exuberance of the roaring twenties.
These vintage jazz groups excel at themed parties, particularly Great Gatsby celebrations, prohibition-era events, and speakeasy-style gatherings. Wedding celebrations benefit from the romantic sophistication of 1920s jazz standards, while corporate events gain elegance and memorable atmosphere. The timeless appeal of this music also works beautifully alongside acts from 1950s era musicians and bands or 1960s era musicians and bands for multi-decade celebrations.
Professional 1920s era musicians and bands typically range from $150 for smaller jazz combos to $1,700+ for full period orchestras with elaborate costumes and staging. The average booking price of $550 reflects the specialized nature of these performers, who often provide period-appropriate attire, vintage instruments, and carefully researched authentic arrangements that transport audiences back to the jazz age.

Glance Up
"A truly memorable wedding—filled with smiles, wonderful people, and live music that evoked a bygone era—all set against a backdrop of thunder, lightning, and torrential rain.
Our wedding was the embodiment of everything I love: it felt just like a movie set.
Simone, Doriana, and the rest of the band have just wrapped up the event.
Glance Up—a band whose vast experience and musical talent create a unique magic; they offer a repertoire that is modern, dynamic, and truly engaging.
Heartfelt thanks ❤️

"Dear Pete
Amazing to see The Godfather video here. It's really made me smile and brought back fabulous memories of our lovely day.
My husband could not believe his ears when he heard the opening of The Godfather as we stood at the church door and it is definitely something neither of us or our guests will ever forget. So cool! The Charpentier was perfect as we walked down the aisle - bright and cheerful and uplifting - and you made our organist very happy. Thank you, too, for playing Che La Luna Mezzo Mare as our guests moved through the hotel from the reception to the wedding breakfast, and the fanfare as we entered the ballroom. Honestly, Pete, you gave the sparkle and polish to our day.
For anyone reading this review, Pete is a fantastic musician and a top-notch professional. I booked Pete as a surprise for my husband because he had this thing about trumpeters playing from the raised pew that is in the church where we had our service . Pete was really flexible in listening to and responding to every request. He also made a number of suggestions to enhance the music I asked for and sent several videos so that I got exactly what I wanted. I can't remember what the fee was now but I can tell you it was worth every penny. Every single one!
Thanks again, Pete.

She was great with managing the crowed and encouraging them to engage with the music. We loved having her in the building and will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Soo!"
