Based in New Prague, Minnesota (1,012 miles from Austin) Jennifer S. - Restaurant Photo of Gary Willner Gary Willner "Gary Willner: A Modern-Day Master of Ventriloquism In conclusion, Gary Willner's performance as a veteran ventriloquist is nothing short of remarkable. His comedy is hysterically funny, his characters are brilliantly portrayed, and his act pays homage to the tradition of ventriloquism while adding his own modern touch. With a stage presence that is captivating and a genuine connection with his puppets, Willner has rightfully earned his place as a modern-day master of ventriloquism. A night spent enjoying his act is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, joy, and admiration for this exceptional talent David Rogan The Guardian" Based in Lake Worth, Florida (1,102 miles from Austin) David Rogan - The Guardian

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for jazz guitarists ranges from $160 to $1,350+, with an average of $460. 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.

The jazz guitarists in Austin, Texas, United States 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
