Jazz Band # 610

The sophisticated choice for your wedding, office party or birthday bash. Specialising in small jazz ensembles duos, trios and quartets

All musicians are trained at the top London conservatoires, and have experience performing all over Europe.

The band has many years of experience performing at weddings, corporate events and private parties, and pride themselves on providing a sophisticated, personal and professional service for clients.

The band specialises in small jazz ensembles featuring the saxophone, with our most popular combinations being jazz duos, trios and quartets. These groups can feature either piano or guitar, in addition to drums and double bass, depending on your requirements.

The band was founded by the bandleader upon completion of his masters in jazz from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and formalises many years of performing experience on the jazz scene and at public and private events. He played his first paid “function gig” aged 13 and since then has had the pleasure of performing all over the world, including concerts at the Montreux, North Sea and London jazz festivals, and at many prestigious venues such as the South Bank Centre Halls, Christie’s, the Royal Albert Hall, and Buckingham Palace.

He is comfortable at exclusive hotels, restaurants, clubs and boats, but also revels in the intimacy of village fetes, barns and ad hoc jams in peoples’ living rooms. He has appeared on television and radio on numerous occasions, and has even busked “misty” at the top of a mountain in Switzerland with an alpine horn player to the delight of the local musical convention going on at the time.

In addition to his musical pedigree, he has also worked as a consultant in the city in his time, and so realises the importance of running a successful business by maintaining a professional standard and fostering good relationships. He ensures the highest quality by only hiring fellow professionals, all of whom have trained to at least undergraduate level at a reputable music college.
