If you want to make your corporate event impress your guests and go with a swing, you won’t go far wrong if you hire a jazz band.

There are numerous reasons why a jazz band is perfect for a corporate event and why so many upmarket event organisers rarely choose anything else. The main reason of course is the versatility of this music genre but the image and creating the right ambience is important too.

A jazz band creates the wow factor!

A top-class jazz band is always visually impressive so will always enhance any stylish occasion. A jazz band always dresses to impress and because jazz is all about style and glamour you can rely on that your jazz band will deliver a slick and professional performance in keeping with your company’s image.

When you hire a jazz band for your corporate event nobody will be able to accuse you of stinting on the entertainment.

A jazz band is incredibly versatile too

In addition, any jazz band worth its salt is incredibly versatile.

This is important for a corporate event that will have different stages. You may need your band to provide gentle background music for the first stage of the event which is all about mingling and networking.

A jazz band is perfect for creating that sophisticated cocktail bar ambience with the style of a bygone era.

Later on, you need a band that creates a party atmosphere where people can dance and let their hair down.

When you hire a jazz band you can be confident that your musical entertainment is perfect for all stages of the event, taking your guests on a journey that swings from start to finish.

So what’s so special about jazz?

Jazz is a fantastically versatile musical genre that includes many styles under the same umbrella. It relies on improvisation and is all about making the song sound fresh.

You might imagine jazz to mean Dixieland trad jazz or modern jazz (nice!) but it also includes; cool Latin Jazz with a bossa nova beat, Big Band Favourites, the great American songbook of jazz standards, vintage swing, gypsy jazz, and modern favourites that include soul, R and B, and songs by artists such as Michael Bublé as well as jazz standards.

In addition, many jazz bands take pop songs and add their own twist, creating wonderfully unique results transforming the mundane into instant jazz classics!

Jazz never goes out of style

Jazz is very cool and fashionable right now, and it appeals to all age groups. Younger guests will enjoy the cool retro feel of classic jazz standards. Older guests will appreciate knowing some songs and revel in the feel-good musicality on the dance floor. Jazz never goes out of style and is always being reinvented by performers. This wide appeal makes it perfect for a corporate event with a mixed guest list.

So what should I look for when I want to hire a jazz band for a corporate event?

If you want a jazz band to hire for your corporate event, the best way is to check out some jazz bands online. Many jazz bands specialise in big events and provide an extremely wide repertoire of music that will suit your corporate event from start to finish.

Remember that top-quality jazz bands are very sought after so if you are looking to hire a jazz band for your corporate event it is crucial to book as soon as you have decided on your date and venue.
