Jazz Band (Blue Note Express)
Blue Note Express, a youthful gypsy jazz and swing band, provides the ideal soundtrack for a special event.
Their music spans the eras of the 1920s to the '50s, encompassing Parisian Waltzes, hot swing, and influences of Latin and bossa nova, all infused with the unmistakable style of gypsy jazz guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt.
With its diverse range of styles, their music is perfectly suited for a wide variety of settings, including weddings, private parties, garden parties, festivals, vintage-themed events, swing dance affairs, afternoon teas, Sunday lunches, late-night bars, cafés, hotels, casinos, and more.
The full quintet consists of melodic accordion/piano, two-spirited guitars, hot double bass, and sultry vintage-style female vocals. Whether focusing on a specific genre or showcasing their versatility, Blue Note Express can tailor their sets to create the perfect ambience for your occasion.
