On average, a professional jazz band costs $500-$1000 for two hours. The price will vary depending on the exact length of the performance, the type of event, the number of band members, and their overall performance experience. Large jazz ensembles will charge more so each musician gets an adequate cut. When researching pricing details, keep in mind that travel costs may also be added to the total.
Jazz bands are most commonly booked for 2 hours, but many are willing to work shorter or longer gigs depending on the event. Bands generally play in 30-45 minute sets with 10-15 minute breaks in between, so be sure to plan accordingly.
Most live bands come fully equipped with speakers, amps, mixers, mics, and stands along with their instruments and gig kit. If the sound system and stage lighting are provided by the venue, be sure to discuss these details with the jazz musicians and include them in the booking agreement.
Bands will handle their own setup and tear down, but it’s your responsibility to make sure they have adequate time and space to do so. Discuss the venue parameters with them in advance, including loading entrances and electricity sources. Ask the jazz band how long their setup usually takes, and then figure out the optimal time for them to arrive so that they are completely set up and have time for a quick soundcheck prior to your guests’ arrival.
Jazz bands are an excellent choice for all types of events. These jazz musicians can create a beautiful atmosphere as the featured entertainment or as background music at weddings, corporate events, birthdays, holiday parties, and more.
Most jazz groups will have a wide range of jazz songs in their repertoire, including all the traditional jazz standards from artists like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, and more. Ask to see their setlist in advance, and let them know which songs are most important to you.
If there’s a specific song you really want that isn’t on the list, they may be able to learn it before the event. Just make sure you make such a request as early as possible!
