Photo of Palika's Hawaiian Band Palika's Hawaiian Band "Palika Hawaiian Band is amazing. They sure know how to engage the guest and WOW us with their fluidity in song and dance. They would be my first go to when hiring for a Luau. I used them for a corporate event and would use them for a personal event with confidence. Mahalo Pat! • Reviewer: Stacy Kaplan • Event Date: June 7th, 2023" Based in Huntington Beach, California (40 miles from Riverside) Stacy Kaplan - Corporate Luau Photo of 21st Century Latin Guitar 21st Century Latin Guitar "Guillermo is a total pro! Guillermo provided an A+ entertainment experience for our party! He arrived early, well prepared, and brought the perfect vibe - an absolute pro! Coming from a musician myself, I was particularly impressed by his musicality, he is not faking it and that natural Latin flare really comes across in his performance. By the end of the night, everyone was up and dancing to his music! We got many compliments and will be hiring him again." Based in Los Angeles, California (49 miles from Riverside) Caleb Bigler - Engagement Party 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 (49 miles from Riverside) Steve Jones - Private Individual Photo of Benjamin Buttner Benjamin Buttner "Ben impressed us so much with his diverse repertoire and fine skills as a singer and guitarist. We will definitely be hiring him back!"

Very professional and reliable. The music was fantastic and lively. I received several compliments from my members stating how much they enjoyed Jazzona and the "vibe" they brought, We look forward to many more booking with them. Highly recommended!"

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for jazz guitarists ranges from $120 to $1,350+, with an average of $450. 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 Riverside, California, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
