1920s Era Musicians & Bands for Hire in Bernex

"They sound amazing. We enjoyed our time listening to their beautiful music. They played beautifull Bossa novas from Carlos Jobim. "

"We hired Julie and her jazz band to perform at our 1920's Speakeasy client appreciation event and we're pleased we did! Our clients loved bring able to let loose and try out their best attempt at the Charleston! Julie was easy to work with throughout the planning process and helpful in providing her recommendations. If you're looking for some great era entertainment for a wedding or corporate event, I certainly recommend The Kensie Jazz Band!"

"Great meeting [the musicians]. Both [singer] and guitar/harmonica player were excellent! "

"Client Review: "One of the most magical parts of our wedding was the music — and we owe that entirely to this incredible jazz ensemble. We were looking for something very specific: not another dance set (we had a DJ for that), but a warm, classy jazz atmosphere for the first part of our celebration — during the ceremony and the cocktail hour. What we received exceeded every expectation." "From the very first contact, communication was smooth and professional. We requested a jazz trio and asked if it would be possible to add a saxophonist for that extra depth. Not only was it possible — the result was beyond beautiful. The group performed a selection of jazz standards we had personally chosen together in advance. They played them with such elegance, heart, and authenticity, it felt like we were in a Parisian jazz bar or a New York club — not on a seaside terrace in Bodrum!" "Our guests were blown away. Many of them said they had never expected to hear such genuine, high-quality jazz in Turkey, and certainly not at a wedding. The saxophone added a soulful touch that made the whole set feel intimate and luxurious at once." "We can't thank this wonderful group enough. Their performance added soul and style to our special day in a way we will never forget. It wasn't just background music — it was an experience." – Olivia & James (Wedding near Bodrum, Summer 2024)"

"The perfect band for a party. Amuse Manouche performed at my leaving party at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge University, when I retired as President. I think almost every guest complimented me on the music. Beautiful vocals and a wonderful swing sound of the 1920s to 1940s. Amuse Manouche helped to create a relaxing vibe to the party while ensuring they never drowned out the conversation."
