Reviews of Jazz Bands available in Hudson Valley

5/5 from 1,941 reviews
Photo of John Anthony Ferrer John Anthony Ferrer "I have hired John Anthony Ferrer to entertain my sorority reunion guests at the Bean Runner Cafe. Is amazing guitar playing as well as classic songs and popular pop tunes. John's hand the guitar really comes alive as well as the songs he plays. John is a real Rock Star, playing tunes from the Jazz era and then switching to the Pop songs of the last few decades. Then playing Blues before going into some romantic Bossa Nova. I also hired him to host and play guitar for 2022 New York Miss Teen pageant contestants. It wasn't long before he had the beautiful young ladies dancing and singing to the songs he played. A highlight to their busy schedule. To sum it up, John Anthony Ferrer's guitar wizardry will amaze you." Based in Peekskill, New York Miss Elizabeth McCorvey - The Family Resource Center Photo of Village Jazz Quartet Village Jazz Quartet "Absolutely terrific. They played 2 sets at my 70th birthday party and laid down the perfect atmosphere. I am a lifelong jazz listener, and these guys are very talented musicians. Frank and I talked in advance about my musical tastes and he delivered straight ahead jazz. Everyone loved it." Based in Nanuet, New York 19th July 2026 James W Kennedy - Village Jazz Quartet led by Frank Petrocelli Photo of The Harold Zinno Jazz Orchestra The Harold Zinno Jazz Orchestra "Excellent sound, tight professional jazz & big band sound." Based in Middlebury, Connecticut 19th September 2026 John Sieller - Verdi’s Concert tent Photo of Le'Mixx Band Le'Mixx Band "Reviewed on: 12/28/2024 Le'Mixx is an eclectic bunch of talented musicians that exceeded our expectations. We didn't want a band that would perform the go-to tracks of the wedding circuit. We wanted a seasoned band to perform live music in genres ranging from Funk to R&B. Their band showcased tunes with woodwind & brass instruments and live vocals from their lead singer and all performers. The band informed us of all their necessities in advance and arrived early. The band also provided all the necessary equipment, like microphones and speakers. Our young and wise guests found themselves all on the dance floor from the energy Le'Mixx created." Based in Hamden, Connecticut Alexis P. - Wedding Photo of Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop "A wonderful experience with Jay. He was so responsive when we first contacted him about our event in Stonington CT (a birthday party for my mother with approx. 40 guests at the La Grua Center), and his repertoire spanned all of the types of music were were looking for (jazz, classical, some show tunes). His playing was just so lovely at the event. A pleasure to meet him and have him join this event. My mother was so thrilled and it made her birthday very special. Many thanks to Jay. Highest recommendation." Based in Manhattan, New York 31st March 2026 Wendy Waszmer - Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Piano (Jay Noble) Photo of Leah Hinton Band Leah Hinton Band "Leah and her guitarist Noe sang/played at my wedding ceremony and reception and added SO much to the romantic yet playful ambience I had going on. Her voice is absolutely gorgeous and flexible, accommodating jazzy/soul numbers to indie and pop numbers alike. She was extremely communicative and helpful in choosing songs, playlists and had great suggestions that made my wedding absolutely perfect Thank you so much Leah and Noe!!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is $650, with prices from $180 to $2,250+. 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.
