About these Jazz Bands When booking jazz musicians it’s important to take every details into consideration and remember what you want from the musicians you’re booking. It could be that you’re looking for a musician to play classy background music for your guests or perhaps a jazz band that can whip up a frenzy and get your guests dancing!
Consider your guests
One of the reasons jazz is a popular choice for events are because it’s suitable for practically any event, whatever the guest list! A cocktail pianist for example can play a variation of popular jazz standards amongst more popular contemporary songs. Jazz musicians can create a sophisticated atmosphere, which will add a real sense of occasion to your event.
Consider your venue space
When booking a jazz band it’s vital that you consider where you will be getting the musicians to play. Countless times bands have been booked to play in a space only to find that they are unable to perform when they arrive. This can be due to a lack of power points (plugs/extension cables), sound limiters or other venue restrictions. It’s also important to consider the acoustics of the space where you want the musicians to play; a solo jazz guitarist for example may be drowned out in a room of 100 people.
How long you do you want musicians to play for?
If you’re booking jazz musicians for a wedding you may want them to play at various different times during your special day and possibly even during the breakfast dinner the day after. If this is the case you’ll need to make the musicians aware of this before the day of the gig. This gives musicians the opportunity to consider what material they play and be aware of when they will receive breaks in their set.
Know the bands requirements
It’s also extremely important that you discuss the bands’ technical requirements before the event. Many bands require a dressing room to store valuables and change into suitable clothes for the event. It’s also crucial that you are aware of how long a jazz band may take to set up and pack away.
