5/5 from 1,901 reviews
Photo of Jazz/Pop/Event Guitarist Jazz/Pop/Event Guitarist "Very Enjoyable! I am a drummer with an extensive background in jazz as well as pop, rock, blues, and standards. I have heard Dan play numerous times at various venues, and he is great! Mainly classic jazz and standards, plus contemporary tunes in his “Wes Montgomery-esque” style. Plus, he’s a really great guy, very personable. Hire this guy, you won’t be disappointed!!" Based in Berkeley, California (65 miles from Sacramento) Ed Glantz - Private event Photo of Campbell's Jazz Soup Campbell's Jazz Soup "THANK YOU for being such an incredible part of our wedding! The music set the perfect tone from the very start—elegant, lively, and full of joy. You created such a wonderful atmosphere during cocktail hour, and our guests kept telling us how much they loved having live jazz as part of the day." Based in San Rafael, California (70 miles from Sacramento) 30th June 2026 Christine C Photo of Jazz Odyssey Jazz Odyssey "Jazz Odyssey was amazing! The trio, drums, piano, and bass, arrived on time, started right on schedule, and played beautifully, creating a wonderful atmosphere for our event. They were such lovely people and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great live band!" Based in San Francisco, California (75 miles from Sacramento) 12th October 2026 Gabriela Laduda - Private event Photo of Band Saptham Band Saptham "A fantastic team of superbly talented artists, and what a great performance! Rakhi's voice and singing stand shoulder to shoulder with the original recordings, capturing every nuance and emotion of the songs. The whole band was tight, professional, and clearly passionate about their music. They kept the audience engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended for any event" Based in San Francisco, California (75 miles from Sacramento) 29th September 2026 Prarthana kaur - Performance Photo of A Hue of Blue A Hue of Blue "The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art have used free outdoor jazz programs to draw the public to their facilities, but representatives of the museums say that this summer sparked a banner year in terms of attendance. “It was incredible,” said Dorrance Stalvey, director of music programs at LACMA. “We had upward of 2,000 people at some shows.” The museum--in its fourth year of offering jazz on a weekly basis-presented such artists as Horace Tapscott, Dr. Art Davis and Cecilia Coleman at its Friday evening shows, and big bands led by Bill Berry, Gerald Wilson and Bill Holman on Sunday afternoon programs. “This program was by far the most successful we’ve had,” said Dawn Setzer, spokesperson for MOCA. “We averaged about 1,500 people a show,” a figure up considerably from previous years’ events. Setzer said the primary reason for the increased turnout was the high-profile strictly-jazz lineup, presented on 11 consecutive Thursdays, that included Charles McPherson, Billy Higgins and Teddy Edwards. LACMA continues its Friday evening shows throughout the year, currently spotlighting a retrospective of bands that have played there, plus new acts. ‘Trane Time: The annual John Coltrane Festival takes place tonight at 8 at the World Stage, 4344 Degnan Blvd. in Leimert Park. On tap will be Ravi Coltrane, Dr. Art Davis’ estimable quintet with Doug Webb and Phil Vieux, and others. Information: (213) 293-2451. Davis will also appear at a benefit for Better Advantages for Students and Society (BASS), which awards a scholarship in his name. The event takes place on Sunday, 4 to 7 P.M., at Diva, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa." Based in San Francisco, California (75 miles from Sacramento) 17th June 2026 Zan Stewart - The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art Photo of Jazz van Gogh Jazz van Gogh "Jon and Susan have performed for many years in many different venues, and can easily adapt different styles of music to different events from nightclubs to weddings. I especially enjoy their wedding performances, where their ethereal, romantic melodies reflect beautifully the intimacy of the occasion. Jon and Susan are talented, seasoned professionals -- Susan with her keyboard, flute, and lovely vocals, and Jon on his keenly expressive guitar. We have used them for family weddings, and related events like rehearsal dinners, and have been very happy with them." Based in South Lake Tahoe, California (85 miles from Sacramento) Lynne F.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is $650, with prices from $190 to $2,300+. 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.
