Abaigail and Dave - Wedding
Just a quick email from our honeymoon - just wanted to thank you for making our evening reception absolutely fabulous - everyone said how great you were!!

John and Isobel Lodge- Birthday Party, Edinburgh
Excellent musicianship, in combination and in solo performance. Stylish, foot tapping dance rhythms played with aplomb - great fun!

Jazz Band Central musicians have done it all... jazz festivals, jazz house parties, jazz clubs, jazz garden parties, jazz in hotel lounges, jazz for restaurants, jazz for weddings, jazz at tea dances, jazz band balls, jazz galas, PR receptions with background jazz, jazz street parades... In Scotland, and further afield.

From a Lounge Bar Jazz Duo or Jazz Trio to a swinging Jazz Quartet, Jazz Quintet or Jazz Sextet to a red hot Seven Piece Jazz Band. From casual dress to posh tuxedos. From a concert hall show to a lively birthday party to quiet background music in a restaurant, to strolling around town in a raunchy New Orleans Jazz Street Band, choose Jazz Band Central.

Jazz Band Central specialises in bands that swing, playing the kind of hot and sweet jazz music that Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday would recognise and love. Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, George Lewis, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Frank Sinatra, Lester Young, Ben Webster, etc.
