London based jazz bands JAZZ ATMOSPHERE®and Claude Alexander Jazz Bands–– Music for Any Occasion –– Elegant, Lively, Classic-modern Jazz
* You can choose the band’s size and instruments * First-class references – Demo CD
Led by pianist Claude Alexander, Jazz Atmosphere® and other bands bearing his name are London-based jazz groups whose configuration, performance and repertoire can be tailored to meet the requirements of any formal or informal event (e.g. see the range of references). While their specialty is elegant, lively, classic-modern jazz, other types of music and performers are available too.
The jazz repertoire consists of the enduring standards of the Tin Pan Alley, Swing, Bebop and Post-Bebop eras (i.e. the 1920s through 1960s), familiar Latin-jazz tunes, film classics, and even Christmas season tunes and other traditional standards. For private functions, if given some notice, we are happy also to play particular requests and culture-specific songs.
Recent gigs have included "concert jazz" at various London venues, as well as for celebrations of the Queen's Jubilee and the 150th anniversary of the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (see their reference), "dinner jazz" (background music) at the Landmark Hotel, the Lansdowne Club and the official opening of the Princess Diana Garden at Capel Manor (see this reference) and "residencies" (on going gigs) at Loch Fyne Restaurant (Loughton) and The Fox Club, Mayfair. Of course we also do numerous private functions.
Whether for a residency (on-going gig) or a one-off performance, the band draws on its repertoire in such a way as to produce an atmosphere appropriate for the occasion and that conforms to our client's wishes. This can include requests for specific songs – even culturally traditional ones – to meet the needs of particular occasions, such as a Christmas or Hanukkah party, New Year's Eve celebration, birthday party, private dinner, barmitzvah, batmitzvah, simcha, civil union partnership event or wedding reception or ceremony, small business or corporate function, showcase event, or a listening or dance concert.
Our clients are welcome also to configure the band with their choice of instruments and
number of musicians (as soloist, duet, trio, quartet, quintet etc) and
we are gladly available to assist in these decisions with recommended
options to fit the occasion and budget.
The band's "tone of voice" also can be set by the
client, and this can range from a gentle background ambience,
typically essential for a personal or business event, to an intense
presence, as for a sit-down, listening concert.
While the chosen ensemble will likely be comprised of jazz musicians based around London, we will happily travel to perform anywhere in the home counties of southeast, southwest or midlands Britain. In any case, for any performance, every effort is made to ensure that it meets the highest standard, and we will look forward very much to serving and playing for you.
