Photo of Jazzrain Jazzrain "Jazzrain was exactly what we were looking for. They managed to make our wedding unique. The violinist, accompanied by the keyboard player during the ceremony, made everything more magical. The aperitif with a jazz rhythm gave the right atmosphere. The singer's heavenly voice was the icing on the cake. Finally, the drummer Mattia, who accompanied us throughout the whole process with the choice of songs, was truly available, prepared and super professional. We could not have made a better choice for our big day" Translated from Italian Based in Milan, Lombardy, Italy 16th October 2026 Cristina Mortero - Matrimonio Photo of Bradley Cohen Music Bradley Cohen Music "Had the pleasure hiring Bradley to perform at our wedding and it was the HIGHLIGHT of the night!!!!

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is ¥140,000, with rates from ¥37,000 to ¥440,000+. Cost varies based on the number of musicians, set length and the style of swing. Swing bands range from intimate jazz combos to large orchestras, and the size of the ensemble is the primary factor in pricing.

Typical bookings for swing bands include vintage-themed weddings, black-tie dinners, corporate events, cocktail parties, swing dance nights and gala celebrations. Swing music creates a sophisticated, energetic atmosphere that is perfect for dancing.

Most perform in vintage-styled suits or dresses in keeping with the era, and many will match a black-tie or 1940s theme if asked. Some carry more than one look and will confirm which suits the occasion. Mentioning the theme when enquiring is usually enough, as it rarely affects the fee.

Most line-ups include one, and in smaller groups the singer often doubles on an instrument. Some acts are instrumental only, which works well for background playing but changes the feel once people want to dance. Profiles say which format each act offers and several can supply either.

The swing bands on Gig Heaven range from small combos of three to five musicians up to full big band line-ups with horn sections and vocalists. A smaller group suits intimate settings, while a larger ensemble delivers the classic big band swing sound.

Swing is written for dancing and most bands build the set around it, varying the tempo so the floor stays busy rather than holding one pace all night. Several will run a short demonstration early on at events where guests do not know the steps. A floor area clear of tables makes far more difference to this than the size of the line-up.

The swing bands in Japan perform swing, big band jazz, jive, boogie-woogie and related styles from the 1930s through to the modern swing revival. Many bands offer a mix of vintage classics and contemporary songs performed in a swing style.

Most swing bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, PA system and amplification. Larger ensembles may have specific staging requirements. It is worth confirming technical and space needs with the band before booking.
