Thursday, September 27th, 2012


Jazz music is a popular choice for weddings as party music and also as background music for dinner receptions.

Jazz music appeals to fans of all things vintage who are planning a vintage wedding capturing the elegance and sophistication of the Jazz age or creating an upmarket expression of the finger clicking 1950′s Vegas lounge style. If you are looking to book Jazz for a vintage wedding then there are a number of great swing bands and wedding singers that can be considered on the Live Music Management jazz band page.

Jazz for weddings also has wide spread appeal to every generation likely to be present at a wedding especially if the Bride and Groom book a band who play the American Songbook style of swing covers which includes tracks well known to younger people through covers on X Factor and by major artistes like Michael Buble, Robbie Williams, Westlife and Amy Winehouse for these songs were originally hits for the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Ella Fitzgerald and are ingrained in popular culture.

There are jazz swing bands who specialise in music to dance to and others that play softer, more atmospheric background music. If in doubt about which band will create the perfect atmosphere at your wedding then please feel free to call the Live Music Management team of jazz for weddings experts on 08454 900515. They will be sure to offer honest advice and point you in the direction of the right band for your big day.

It Don’t Mean A Thing-If It Ain’t Got That Swing

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011


When the Football Association came to LMM a few years ago wanting a great dinner jazz band for their annual dinner to be held over in Portugal we suggested Powder Jazz without any hesitation.

When the Labour Party were looking for a jazz swing band for their sports fund raiser (to be held in the,then,new Wembley Stadium) we put forward Powder Jazz (and we must have done something right as they were rebooked by Gordon Brown the very next year.)Both Gordon Brown and Tony Blaire attended this function and a host of sporting stars and celebrities like the Bee Gees were in attendance to enjoy Powders blend of sweet jazz sounds.

Powder have played at hundreds of top quality events for clients such as Marks And Spencers and Orange Phones.They are in demand as one of the very best bands for weddings and parties.

If you are looking for background music for a dinner or just a great swing jazz band for a wedding then Powder are your boys…a band full of enthusiasts who love the music they play and are nice guys to boot!

For quotes on this great jazz swing band call the LMM office or email info@lmmuk.com   we still have some availability for key dates in 2011.
