Based in Tokyo Scarlett - Wedding Photo of John Nicholson Saxophone John Nicholson Saxophone "He was great to work with and guests loved him. He’s awesome!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (4,694 miles from Tokyo) 9th September 2026 Angela Naseri - Wedding Photo of Belleville Trio Belleville Trio "Wonderful atmosphere. Live music in a beautiful setting. I'll be coming back." Translated from Polish Based in Stockholm, Sweden (5,076 miles from Tokyo) 17th September 2026 Monik - Belleville Trio Photo of Singer Guitarist Singer Guitarist "Brendan is a wonderfully talented and professional musician. He performs well with all age groups: teaching, writing songs for musicals, children, adults...with insight and creativity. He is a fun and entertaining performer, who delights his audience. He is such a brilliant guitarist! I highly recommend Brendan's gigs." Based in Devonport, Tasmania, Australia (5,328 miles from Tokyo) Jen Photo of los angeles acoustic Guitarist los angeles acoustic Guitarist "Ian Kauffman was an absolute pleasure to work with. For couples looking for live music for their ceremony or the reception, Ian is the pro. His glowing reviews are a direct reflection of his work. With little direction, Ian is able to provide clients with an eclectic list of music that brings all age groups onto the dance floor – a serious accomplishment. Not to mention, as a planner, releasing tables to a buffet line can be a stressful task, as you do not want guests waiting in an endless line. This not only demonstrates his flexibility in his services, but also his understanding for tasteful execution. The wedding I coordinated occurred on New Years Eve, so Ian was expected to provide 10+ hours of engaging music – a task he accomplished flawlessly. My bride was extremely satisfied with the outcome as well. I look forward to recommending Ian to my future clients and working with him again." Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (5,478 miles from Tokyo) Steve Jones - Private Individual Photo of Anton Ripatti Anton Ripatti "Dear Mr. Ripatti, We are pleased to confirm our intention to engage you as a musician for performances at our Irish Pub Dubliner in Bayreuth in the future. After your first audition with us, we were enthusiastic and find the musical performance very suitable for us as an Irish Pub, so we would very much like to include you as a new regular musician in the planning of our regular events in the coming years, depending on scheduling availability.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for jazz guitarists ranges from ¥26,500 to ¥215,000+, with an average of ¥75,000. Rates depend on the guitarist's experience, performance duration and whether the booking is for a solo performance, a duo or a larger ensemble. Jazz guitarists are a popular choice for background music at receptions, dinners and cocktail events.

Sitting in with an existing line-up is normal work for jazz players, who are used to reading charts and following a standard repertoire with little rehearsal. Agreeing a set list, or at least a shared songbook, is what makes it work. Where the other musicians are booked separately, say so at the enquiry stage, as it changes what the guitarist prepares.

Many jazz guitarists offer flexible formats including solo performances, duo or trio settings (often with double bass and drums), and as part of larger jazz ensembles. It is advisable to discuss the best format for your event and venue.

For intimate settings, many jazz guitarists can perform without amplification. For larger venues or events with background noise, a small amplifier is typically used. Most jazz guitarists bring their own equipment. For the best experience, confirm the setup based on the venue.

The jazz guitarists in Tokyo, Japan perform a range of jazz styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and jazz-funk. Many also cover popular songs and standards in a jazz style. The jazz guitar has a warm, mellow tone that suits both background and featured performances.

A single guitar suits rooms of up to around a hundred guests once amplified, beyond which the sound thins against the noise of a crowd. For larger events players usually suggest adding a second instrument rather than turning the volume up. Guest numbers and room size are what decide this, not the style of music being played.

Common events for jazz guitarists include cocktail receptions, corporate dinners, wedding ceremonies, restaurant entertainment and private parties. A solo jazz guitarist provides sophisticated, unobtrusive live music that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

A solo player normally works in sets of around 45 minutes with short breaks between them, and unbroken playing across a long dinner is quoted differently. Whether the music has to be continuous is worth deciding early, since it changes both the fee and whether a second player is worth adding. Most will say how long they can comfortably play in one stretch if asked.
