The band is based in London and willing to travel anywhere in the UK
The Jennifer Williams Jazz Group is fronted by none other than Jennifer Williams and some of the finest jazz musicians available for hire in the UK. Having perfected their practice at some of the top music conservatories in the world, they provide clients with specialist expertise in delivering favourite jazz and swing standards, whether it be cool background jazz to complement a dinner or drinks reception or hot jazz with a swing to fill the dance floor!
The group can be hired as a duo, through to quintet. For an intimate occasion or if you're simply short on space, the vocal and piano duo could be just the ticket. Why not add double bass for an elegant background trio. Looking for something bigger? Why not try the quartet - adding saxophone to the trio line up. If you want to crank it up a bit and are after the sort of swing you can dance to, adding a drummer to the mix gets the toes tapping!
The group has a number of specialised sets including ballroom sets for all those keen dancers, postmodern sets, perfect for a Gatsby-themed event, as well as themes such as: Latin Jazz, Ella Classics, Gershwin, Songbook Legends and Jazz Love Songs. You can handpick your own set from their repertoire list and make up to three new requests. If you have a song in mind for your first dance or some songs particular sentiment you would like to include, then they will be sure to play them for you! Alternately you can sit back, relax and they will choose the perfect set for the nature of your event.
The Jennifer Williams group provides all their own sound equipment. You can also have your own choice of music played through their PA system before the live music begins and during any breaks, alternatively, they will provide suitable music.
They would love to hear from you and discuss how they can enhance your event! Happy to answer any questions you may have, they will do their upmost to accommodate you on any special requests in order to perfectly cater to your needs. Don’t hesitate to get in touch!
