About

For over 25 years, our band has performed jazz in concert settings, at corporate events, private parties, festivals, weddings, dinner-dances and clubs/restaurants.

We also specialize in background jazz for events by organizers looking for fine music that allows your audience to have conversations and socialize.

Our band strives to create a classy experience when playing at parties and planned events, and we can also change gears and blast out high-energy jazz from the concert stage if you desire.

We can give you any kind of jazz, from swing to big band, New Orleans, the standards of the American songbook, bebop, bossa nova, Latin jazz and smooth jazz.

We can mix in other styles, too, including blues, pop, rhumba, cha cha, church music and even polka (two of the band are from central Europe).
If you prefer, we can shrink down to a trio to save money or be quieter, and we often play as a duo (perhaps using a discrete backing track to flesh out the sound).

Our guys are top notch, highly trained. One is a Berklee grad. One played with the Hungarian national orchestra. One played with the Cuban national orchestra. But we all love the freedom of jazz and improvising.

Because we all read music, we are happy to take requests for almost any jazz song … often on the spot.

If you want something other than our 4 instruments, we work regularly with lots of other talented folks, including female and male singers, guitarists and horn players who can join us or sub for one of our regulars.

Our band members have been playing for our entire adult lives, several of us being full-time musicians, music teachers and/or church music director.

We will work closely with you about your event and music needs, so hiring us means you will get exactly what you want.

We have a full sound system, and are self-contained and low maintenance. All we need is a small cleared area and one electrical outlet.

Songs

Our working list has a few hundred tunes. Here are a few of our most frequent tunes (in no order):

Autumn Leaves, Body and Soul, How High the Moon, Just Friends, Georgia, Girl from Ipanema, Black Orpheus, Canteloupe Island, Days of Wine and Roses, My Funny Valentine, Never Be Another You, It Had to Be You, Freddie the Freeloader, St. Thomas, Someday My Prince Will Come, Fly Me to the Moon, Bye Bye Blackbird, etc. etc.

Favorite composers to play: Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Cole Porter, Horace Silver, George Gershwin, Freddie Hubbard, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Louis Armstrong and many more.

Reviews

All of our event guests had a great time and aside from the food, the music was a huge part of the event’s success.

Jazz Survivors did not disappoint, and we would highly recommend them.

We booked the Jazz Survivors for a corporate event, and they rose to the occasion superbly.

As well as playing great tunes and setting an atmosphere, they dealt with our needs and the venue arrangements smoothly and professionally.

We asked them to do some crazy things by way of audience interaction as part of the event, which they did with good humour and flexibility.

They are nice guys and passionate about their music. We would happily recommend and book again.

Great talent!

Communication and coordination with the group was exceptional.

This is extremely helpful when we are working in different states and arranging an event.

All came about as promised and attendees enjoyed their music!

These guys were awesome.

Hosted a small dinner of 8 people for my dad’s 70th birthday and they were excellent.

Perfect music and ambiance for a wonderful night.
Arrived early and was always available prior to the event to answer questions about music etc.

Would definitely recommend and use again!

Private Event

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Private Event by Russ on 02 Apr 2025

We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.

Wedding Reception

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Wedding Reception by Amelia on 11 Mar 2025

Zac was the perfect choice for our event. He played some songs from our play list and then others that he chose, and all were just right! He created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a great time.

Pub – Bar

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Pub - Bar by John on 10 Jan 2025

We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.
