Reviews of Dixieland Bands available in Boston

5/5 from 141 reviews
Photo of Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency "Brian was everything that my husband and I could've asked for. He was professional, punctual, and most importantly he did a great job with the music selection. He was also able to provide a mic and amp for some live music during the ceremony, and played piano for us during the cocktail hour. We really appreciated having someone so multi-talented for our event. We gave Brian a smaller list of must-play songs, and with that outline he was able to fill in the gaps effectively with what the crowd was feeling. We didn't have to worry about the music all night, and he was mingling and getting requests from the guests with his iPad (a favorite detail of the guests'). Our wedding was a huge success in no small part because of Brian, and we cannot recommend him enough." Based in Amherst, Massachusetts (74 miles from Boston) Alison Kuzara - Wedding Photo of A Touch Of Jazz Featuring Vin Cassotta A Touch Of Jazz Featuring Vin Cassotta "I am delighted to recommend Vincent Cassotta of Enfield CT in pursuit of his grant application for the Louis Armstrong Tribute with a Jazz Quartet performing at the Eli Whitney Elementary School. My previous role as the PK-12 Music Coordinator for the Enfield Public School District has brought me in direct contact with the professional, innovative, creative, and artistic musician and retired teacher Mr. Vincent Cassotta. I have witnessed first-hand the impact and quality of his quality music instruction provided for his thirty-nine years of teaching tenure in our community. To have the opportunity to bring the genre of American Jazz Music as a tribute to the legend of Louis Armstrong with quality professional musicians under Mr. Cassotta’s organization is a blessing to the young minds and ears of our elementary students, especially at a time when music education in Enfield offers less opportunities. This past Spring I had the opportunity to guest speak at Mr. Cassotta’s retirement party celebrating his many years of service in music education. In that speech I spoke about multiple areas beyond the collegial and professional relationship Mr. Cassotta, and I achieved since 1999. These in my opinion provide strong evidence for the Enfield Cultural Council to support this mission of this application fiscally. One of the points shared was that Mr. Cassotta balanced his career of music education and professional trumpet performing with incredible success throughout his career. Aside from the technical, logistical and time management responsibilities from such an endeavor, he achieved this success with never letting go of the care demonstrated to his students, family members, school building staff, and his music professional colleagues. The fact that he desires to continue to expand the music opportunities to students in Enfield now in his retirement resting years is evidence of his dedication to this art form and willingness to always educate. Furthermore Mr. Cassotta’s wealth of experience professionally as a performing musician and student of the trumpet is stellar. In his education Mr. Cassotta studied trumpet with Rolf Smedvig of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Empire Brass Quintet, Jimm Maxwell a NYC Studio Musician, Roger Murtha of the Hartford Symphony and Hartt School of Music, and Dan Patrylak of the Eastman Brass Quintet and UCONN. To continue, Mr. Cassotta was a freelance performer with Frank Sinatra, Manhattan Transfer, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Vinton, Bob Hope, The Four Tops, Phil Woods, The Temptations, Sammy Davis Jr., Andy Williams, Franki Valli and the Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Including numerous local and state pit orchestra’s and local well know jazz bands. He has also published works as a composer and arranger with KJOS music as well as multiple professional recordings. I strongly urge you to consider Mr. Cassotta’s application for this grant. Your support will help impact music education in Enfield and continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of its students. Thank you for considering this recommendation. Sincerely, Mark F.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for Dixieland bands ranges from $210 to $1,700+, with an average of $1,000. Rates depend on the number of musicians, performance duration and the instruments in the line-up. Dixieland jazz groups typically feature trumpet, clarinet, trombone, banjo and drums, with larger ensembles costing more.

The Dixieland bands perform traditional New Orleans-style jazz, also known as Dixieland or trad jazz. This lively style features instruments such as trumpet, clarinet, trombone, tuba, banjo and drums, and is known for its upbeat, improvisational character.

Hiring Dixieland bands is popular for weddings, garden parties, cocktail receptions, funerals (particularly New Orleans-style celebrations of life), corporate events and festivals. Dixieland music creates a joyful, festive atmosphere and many bands can perform as a roaming or marching act.

Many Dixieland bands are able to perform while walking or marching, making them ideal for leading wedding processions, greeting guests on arrival or creating a New Orleans-style second line parade. To get the best results, discuss roaming options with the band when making an enquiry.
