London Jazz Diary

Here’s another quick news update for our London jazz bands this summer, read on for a summary of our highlights over the last month or so…

First off, a quick name drop. We performed jazz recently at the London launch party of the new Jaguar car range, and were delighted when none other than Harry Redknapp popped down to lend his support, here he is pictured with the managing director of Jaguar UK, Geoff Cousins…

You can see our jazz musicians in the background, we performed as the full instrumental jazz quartet of saxophone, piano, double bass and drums, for this repeat client, and the show room was in Mayfair in central London. We loved the ice sculpture of the new Jaguar car too!

Another instrumental jazz group was hired by a top London legal firm to celebrate their purchase of a new headquarters in the heart of the City Of London. To match their budget and space requirements, this time the client opted for the City Jazz Duo, featuring guitar and sax, and we entertained the executives who had flown in from all around the world. As you can see from the picture we snapped below, the views from the terrace on the top floor were simply stunning, and we have been assured we will be invited back for more atmospheric jazz music in the future!

Talking of repeat clients, you need look no further than the good folk at AT & T for a prime example, who book us at least 2 times a year, whenever they need jazz for their London based corporate events. In fact they seem to book bigger jazz ensembles every time, which obviously receives no complaints from us! As can be seen above, we were playing our jazz outside in the garden at the Royal Horse Guards Hotel in central London, and thankfully the weather held out for the jazz, barbecue and drinks party. The choice of jazz musicians? The full City Jazz Quintet featuring the incredible Elizabeth on lead vocals, singing classic jazz standards as the sun set over this intimate setting.

So far the summer has been very kind to everyone here at City Jazz, our top London jazz bands have played at a whole range of fantastic events in London and beyond!

Special mention has to go to a couple of our favourite venues that we have visited again this year, namely Kensington Roof Gardens, and Corney and Barrow in Paternoster Square. As you can see from the pictures below, these venues are simply stunning! First off we played jazz for a Bar Mitzvah in Kensington, with the client opting for the City Jazz Trio, our most popular jazz combo for corporate functions in London. This group featured saxophone, guitar and bass, and was the ideal choice for atmospheric jazz music for this high end event in West London.

As for our jazz gig at Paternoster Square, this was another top notch corporate event that required some uplifting jazz to get the party started in style. A jazz quartet was the order of the day, which featured the amazing female jazz vocals of Elizabeth, one of London’s finest jazz singers. Paternoster Square is a fantastic modern development right next to St Paul’s Cathedral, and the Corney and Barrow bar has stunning views, the perfect setting for jazz singer and accompanying band. This was a great night for a corporate summer party, and the DJ after us ensured dancing and drinking went on until the early hours!
