The group is fronted by Holly, one of the finest voices on the London jazz scene today. A natural musician with a pure honeyed tone, her delivery has been described as “stylish and pure-voiced”. She epitomises the cool, laid-back sound of cocktail jazz. With her effortless swing and instinctive phrasing, Holly’s repertoire extends from a rich wealth of jazz “standards” and Latin numbers, which have provided the inspiration for all the great jazz singers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan to the new wave of contemporary performers such as Diana Krall and Stacey Kent. Elegant, sophisticated, swinging, with just a hint of Latin spice, Jump Start Jazz Duo/ Trio can provide the ideal musical background for the cocktail hour.

At request Jump Start Jazz can recreate Jazz classics or interpret modern pop hits into smooth jazz.

Dan and Beth, Wedding, Manchester
Hi Tracey, Thanks for your email. Yes, we were delighted with Nick and co, and we all could have danced on for hours but unfortunately all good things must come to an end. Everybody commented on how good and 'tight' they were and we've already started to recommend them to friends. I thought they read our crowd superbly and the disco funk stuff proved just the ticket. Also, thanks to you for helping with our search. We got a very prompt and efficient service.

Pheobe & Jonathan Culshaw, Dover Street Arts Club, Mayfair, London 
You were all absolutely wonderful and all our guests agreed. We will certainly recommend you to everyone. 
 
Natalie and Davud Radleigh Wedding, Colts Foot Country Retreat, Datchworth
The timings, selection of music & your performance was spot on. We’ve had so many compliments about the band, Thank you.
 
Clarissa and Steve, Fanhams Hall, Ware, Herts
Everyone said how great you were and we certainly enjoyed ourselves. We even had friends dancing who we have never seen get on the dance floor before.  
 
Vickey and James Cooper, Somerley House, New Forest
As soon as James and I got up for our first dance, everyone was ready to get on the dance floor and it was never empty all night. Everybody was having such a good time and didn’t want it to end.   
 
Kate and John Frankland, Botleigh Grange Hotel, Hampshire
You were wonderful, we and our guests had an excellent time all night. It makes such a difference to have a live band as talented and professional as yourselves. Many of our guests have told us that you’re the best band they’ve heard at a wedding, and we agree. This year has been the year for weddings among our friends – barely a Saturday goes by without someone getting married – thank you for making ours the best so far!!

The Weston & Keeble Families, Pennyhill Park Hotel, Surrey
Thank you so very much for your performances at our Wedding. We received samples from many bands but once we saw you in action we decided we wanted to book you. Simply everyone has commented how fantastic you were and you kept us 'jumpin' all night! (sorry about the pun). Our friends said at the Wedding, & again since that you are the best covers band they have ever heard, and we have to agree, you really are a professional, 4 piece, fun, energetic band. 

 Zak, Function Manager, Wadenhoe House, Northamptonshire
We have a lot of bands play here, but we don’t get many as good as you.  
 
LIS Xmas Party
You are the best band we’ve had in the five years since I’ve been with the company and that’s not just my opinion as I’ve had tremendous feedback from all the staff.

KPMG Xmas Party
The words painful, horrendous and weary spring to mind. Well that’s how I felt the next day- fortunately the
words terrific, lively and fun spring to mind with regard to the night before.

Camden Palace, London
At the Camden Palace Xmas Party “Jump Start” proved they are one of the best covers bands around.

You guys were fantastic – can we book you for the next Fifty years?!!  
 
TNT Magazine
Jump Start really do understand the songs that get people going, and they perform them with great energy and style.
