Q: How much do jazz bands cost in Kitchener?

Jazz groups range from duos and trios to large swing orchestras, and line-up size has the biggest impact on price.

Q: Can jazz bands play background music and dance sets?

Many jazz bands are skilled at adjusting their volume and energy to suit different parts of an event. They can provide subtle background music during dinner and then shift to a more upbeat, danceable set for the evening party. It is a good idea to discuss the event flow with the band so they can plan their sets accordingly.

Q: Are different line-up sizes available for a jazz group?

On Gig Heaven, jazz bands are available in a variety of sizes, from duos and trios up to full big band ensembles of 15 or more musicians. A smaller group such as a trio or quartet is ideal for intimate settings and lower budgets, while a larger ensemble can fill bigger venues with a richer, more dynamic sound.

Q: What styles of jazz can jazz bands play?

The jazz bands cover a wide range of styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and New Orleans-style jazz. Some groups also perform jazz-influenced pop or Rat Pack classics. To get the best results, listen to audio samples on each band's profile to find the right style for your event.

Q: Do jazz bands provide their own sound equipment?

Most jazz bands are self-contained and bring their own amplification for smaller to mid-sized venues. Acoustic jazz groups may not need any amplification at all for intimate settings. For larger venues, additional PA equipment may be required. It is worth discussing sound requirements with the band before booking.

Q: What events are jazz bands suitable for?

Saxman "We booked Vadym for a family reunion celebration and would highly reccomend him.

Thank you so much for making the event so perfect for everyone." Based in Mississauga, Ontario (44 miles from Kitchener) Irene - Family reunion

The Sidewalk Crusaders "Great energy!! We are so happy we booked The Sidewalk Cruisaders for our wedding. They brought so much energy and fun to our cocktail hour. My guests raved about them. Very easy to work with and willing to tailor the song list to our likes and interests." Based in Toronto, Ontario (58 miles from Kitchener) Lisa W.

MsP wit D’RYDMZ "Miss P is easy on the eyes with muscular theighs and insane calves if you can get past all that great singer you can tell they have been playing together a long time . Do they tour would love to catch another show" Based in Toronto, Ontario (58 miles from Kitchener) Tony - Club

The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (58 miles from Kitchener) Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music

Swing Shift Big Band/Wedding Band "Thank YOU and the band so much - I'm only sorry we cut into your playing time (speeches and photos)! Everyone absolutely loved the band and was blown away by your sets- we'll hope to catch you and the full Swing Shift band at the Rex sometime in the future and buy you a drink!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (58 miles from Kitchener) Jesse and Lilly - Private wedding with little big band
