London Jazz Diary

We recently performed at the square mile summer party to great acclaim, little did we know that the party would be featured on Sky News, Radio 4 and in the Daily Mail!

Apparently the event caused some controversy in the press, as it was associated with City workers rewarding themselves too much in tough times. We couldn’t possibly comment either way! Read more here:

Back to the music: we performed as two separate jazz ensembles on the night itself. First off was the City Jazz Trio featuring guitar (pictured above). This is a very popular choice from our roster of London jazz bands, the jazz guitar not only is a sophisticated and classy option, but also has a lovely bluesy and breezy touch for the summer. This went down very well with the punters, despite a couple of heckles from over-champagned traders!

Next up was the City Jazz Trio featuring the fantastic Brendan on vocals. Brendan is a truly talented chap, as he plays jazz piano and sings at the same time, a la Jamie Cullum, and so is not only a fabulous quality offering from a musical point of view, but also represents fantastic value. If you’re looking to hire a London jazz band featuring subtle vocals, that can work for atmospheric or dancing purposes, then look no further!

So there we go another satisfied client, and more happy punters. And we kept our clothes on, unlike some of the performers later on! Please get in touch if you’d like a quote, and you can find out more about our top London jazz agency here: http://www.cityjazz.co.uk
