Photo of Justin Holcroft Justin Holcroft "Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is £500, with prices from £140 to £1,700+. The main cost factors are the number of musicians in the band, performance duration and the style of jazz. Jazz groups range from duos and trios to large swing orchestras, and line-up size has the biggest impact on price.

The jazz bands for hire 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.

Hiring jazz bands is a versatile choice for many types of events. They are especially popular for wedding receptions, cocktail hours, corporate functions, private parties and gala dinners. Jazz works well as background music during dining or drinks, and can also be the featured entertainment where a more sophisticated atmosphere is desired.

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.

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.

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.
