Jazz Bands Dorset

Our Dorset jazz bands, great and small, will go out of their way to accommodate your venue and budget requirements, with many of them offering flexible lineups. Amid our pages you will find acoustic jazz duos and solo jazz pianists, who only need as much space as the instruments they’re playing, jazz trios and quartets who are more suited to larger performance spaces thanks to their infectious energy, and 1920s-30s era swing bands made up of 11 or 12 members. These different arrangements will of course, achieve different effects, but the high standards are consistently met.

Hire jazz singers and jazz bands in Dorset

Jazz has given us some of the most recognisable voices of our time, so if you want your Dorset jazz band to be more than just background music, choose from our many solo, duet or ensemble singers. Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - these are but a few of the iconic singers that continue to inspire our singers, and many of their classic songs are staples of our Dorset jazz bands’ repertoires. Our seasoned performers carry these timeless tunes with aplomb and are bound to captivate your guests with their style and skill

Dorset gypsy jazz bands, contemporary jazz bands, 1920s swing bands and more.

As a genre that’s inherently tricky to pigeonhole, we’ve narrowed the search for your ideal jazz band down with such sub-categories as Gypsy Jazz, Hard Bebop, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Swing, Cool Jazz, Latin Jazz and Contemporary, amongst others. You’ll be treated with recitals of the best of Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington and writers George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, to name but a few. The eclectic mix our jazz bands in Dorset will bring to your event will appease the purists with their standards from the Great American Songbook, and ingratiate the jazz novices with their reimaginings of modern pop and rock hits - the Beatles, Oasis, the Black Eyed Peas and Michael Jackson have all made their way into our Dorset jazz bands’ sets in the past.
