The Swing Element

Classical atmosphere: Jazz is an elegant and classic genre associated with stylish events and occasions. Booking a jazz band creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere that is perfect for formal occasions or cocktail hours.

Musical quality: Many jazz musicians have years of experience and extensive musical training. This means that they have the skills to play complex jazz arrangements and perform improvisations.

Adaptability: Jazz musicians are able to adapt their music to different situations and expectations. Booking a jazz band ensures that you receive a tailor-made musical experience that fits perfectly with your party or event.

Ambiance: Jazz is an atmospheric music style that can accompany the background of an event without dominating. Booking a jazz band provides beautiful background music that is perfect for dining guests or during a party.

Unique experience: Jazz is a specific genre that is not often played at parties or events. Booking a jazz band provides a unique musical experience for your guests that they will not soon forget.

The bands have a repertoire of songs from which they play. They are often open to suggestions and request numbers. It is a good idea to indicate this well in advance of booking. On the evening itself, requested songs can be detrimental to the construction of the set and therefore the enjoyment of the guests. If a requested song is not in the repertoire, several bands are willing to rehearse 1 or 2 songs.

During the breaks, the band provides atmospheric music which they play over their sound system. The music is of course in line with the music played during the performance. Some bands come with a DJ, who will then provide the music. Of course you can also book a DJ for the breaks with all live bands.

A standard performance consists of 3 sets of 45 minutes. This is spread over a period of 3 – 3.5 hours. Shorter performances are also possible. The maximum playing time of most live bands is 4 sets of 40 minutes. This can be spread over a period of 4 to 5 hours.

The formation of bands takes approximately 45 minutes for 3 to 4 piece bands. For larger bands this takes 1 to 1.5 hours. We always adjust the amount of equipment to the group size. If the group is very large (more than 175 people), the setup time will also be longer.
