Los Angeles Jazz Bands for Hire for Weddings and Corporate Events
Instrumental Jazz Bands
Based in Los Angeles, Rossi Music has had a reputation for over 15 years as the best place in Los Angeles to hire a Jazz Band. Jazz was the primary reason for our first music website, to showcase all of our Los Angeles Jazz bands including solo piano, guitar duos, piano trios, vocal ensembles, Rat Pack Bands, Smooth Jazz and Swing & Big Bands. We cover all the styles of jazz that you’re looking for with amazing singers of all styles or instrumental jazz for lively concerts or purely for background music that adds ambience underneath a social event.
With three Grammy nominations and one win, Rick Rossi, head of our company, has access to the highest caliber of jazz musicians available.
Ask any of our clients and they’ll tell you how impeccable our customer service is – in fact, Rossi Music won the 2012 Bride’s Choice Awards for Best Bands & DJ’s based on its stellar reviews from brides for outstanding excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism within the entertainment industry. Our Los Angeles jazz bands have been featured in blockbuster movies such as “Wedding Crashers” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, among many others.
Los Angeles Jazz Bands, Swing, Smooth, Big Band, Vocal Jazz and Jazz with Strings
LA Jazz Piano Trio
Sample of The Los Angeles Jazz Trio, one of our most popular size bands. This jazz piano trio is best for an intimate setting such as a corporate event, private party, wedding reception, wedding ceremony, or any type of event that requires soft background music. Extremely versatile, this band can play all styles from swing standards, latin, salsa, and smooth jazz, to cover band dance tunes. Call us for more info @ 818-209-2620.
LA Jazz Guitar Trio
Sample of the Los Angeles Jazz Guitar Trio, a classic combination of guitar, bass, and saxophone. They play anything from swing to modern jazz and smooth jazz as well as dance covers. Ideal for a cocktail hour and extremely pleasant for background music. Please call us at 818-209-2620 for more information.
LA Jazz Quartet
Adding drums to your instrumental or vocal jazz ensemble brings a new dimension to the music. Drums make all of the rhythms more catchy and danceable. Guests can samba, swing and even salsa dance when there’s a drum beat keeping tempo. If you prefer the music to be quiet and stay in the background, the drummer will use brushes so you can have the flavor and fullness of this additional instrument without interfering with conversation.
Smooth LA Jazz Band
Our Smooth LA Jazz Bands include name artists like Dave Koz, Peter White, Gregg Karukas and Grammy winner Rick Rossi. These bands work best as a quartet or larger and can play a variety of music including classic jazz, latin jazz, pop, R&B and smooth jazz. This is a sample of the Rick Rossi Smooth Jazz Quartet playing standards for background music. Call us for samples and pricing of our other name artists – 818-209-2620
Solo & Duo LA Jazz Musicians
For intimate gatherings, sometimes it’s best to have a solo musician or duo. This way, the music never overtakes the conversation. And this is when the quality of the musicians you hire is particularly important, for it’s when their ability to blend, to play tastefully, and to keep the energy up even while playing softly is really tested. We choose with whom we work with because we care and because we understand what it takes to get the right effect.
LA Jazz Vocalists
Jazz Vocalists offer a classy touch to just about any setting. Whether you’re looking for something more upbeat, danceable and interactive or perhaps a softer more subtle vibe, a vocalist adds an unmistakable human element to the mix while engaging your guests’ appeal for entertainment. This group can features a choice of a sultry female vocalist reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday or the popular male Sinatra-esque Crooner style. Ranging in size from a subtle solo/duo to a full big band with horns, vocal groups offer a versatile mix of Jazz Swing, Latin, Big band and R&B Jazz.
Big Bands LA Jazz
Swing and ballroom dancing is always popular, elegant and fun! Our swing band “Straight, No Chaser†plays a lively variety of jazz, blues and swing. Led by Grammy winner Rick Rossi, whose exciting horn arrangements make this 10-15 piece band sound like a band twice its size. “Straight, No Chaser†is the band that was featured as a society orchestra on the hit TV series ENTOURAGE, in the soundtrack to the Academy Award nominated film THE COOLER and in the Jennifer Anniston film RUMOR HAS IT. They cover all of your swing favorites, as well as danceable latin hits. They can even kick it up to include contemporary Top 40 dance music so that the dance floor is always filled.
