In particular, the band wanted to rediscover songs of these authors, which have inexplicably remained hidden to the general public but of great artistic and musical value.

In Italiano
Il Florence Jazz Band propone un repertorio basato su alcuni capolavori della musica vocale americana in stile jazz e swing.
La band interpreta brani celebri di Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, i grandi blues di Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Etta James, ed i brani più sconosciuti dei grandi protagonisti del Jazz e dello Swing dei primi anni del Secolo del Jazz.
In particolar modo la band ha voluto riscoprire e rivalorizzare brani dei suddetti autori, rimasti inspiegabilmente celati al grande pubblico ma di grande valore artistico-musicale.
Un quartetto composto da voce, clarinetto, contrabbasso e chitarra classica. Musica e ricerca sono i filoni conduttori del progetto che mira a ritrovare il ritmo, il sound e l'atmosfera degli anni 20, 30 e 40 del Novecento americano in un largo spettro culturale che spazia dalla storia della Musica, dell'arte, della moda alla pratica delle stesse.
"The Florence Jazz Band made our special occasion the best night of our whole trip to Italy. They provided the perfect ambiance for a beautiful afternoon cocktail party and then dinner. We felt very lucky to have word-class jazz musicians playing live at our event. Camilla was my contact with the band (the singer) and she was very easy to communicate with and simply a lovely person. She even had one of the kids up on stage with her for a song! If ever back in Italy and planning something like this again, I would certainly contact them for another show."

"Hello, We booked both The Florence String Quartet and The Florence Jazz Band through FixTheMusic for our wedding on Saturday at Villa di Ulignano in Tuscany. The string quartet were absolutely wonderful - they performed so beautifully at our wedding ceremony. They set such a romantic tone that started off the day’s celebrations perfectly. The Florence Jazz Band also performed at our aperitivo - Camilla's singing was wonderful and she and her team of musicians provided the perfect ambience for mingling and drinking cocktails. To the Florence Jazz Band, I just wanted to write a quick email to say thank you so much for performing so beautifully at our aperitivo on Saturday - your singing and playing was fantastic and set such a wonderful tone for the rest of the day. Thanks so much, Sam & Sean x"

"È' stato proprio il gruppo che cercavamo. Abbiamo scelto loro perché ci erano piaciuti i loro video ma il giorno del matrimonio ci hanno stupito tanto per la bravura, professionalità e simpatia. Hanno un bel repertorio e la loro musica è soft ed elegante. Tutti ci hanno fatto i complimenti per averli scelti."

"They were fabulous!! I dealt with Camilla (the singer) who was so lovely and easy to talk to (very good English). Literally, so easy to book and they were so relaxed about everything. I wasn't sure about their start time until the day before the wedding and they just didn't mind at all, very chilled and accommodating! Would definitely have them again and cannot recommend them enough! Really good price and they play lots of songs. Everyone at our reception loved them and they added that something extra to that bit in between the dinner and partying!"

The songs you selected were perfect and we loved the version of “At Last” you performed for our first dance! Our guests all commented on how good you were and it really made our day to know that everyone loved the music and had a great time. I hope we can rebook you again for our anniversary party in a few years! Our deepest thanks!"

”The Florence Jazz Band was the perfect band for our wedding in the Italian countryside and we are so happy that we choose them. Camilla, the singer has an incredible voice and together with the band their music added the perfect elegant yet swingy feeling to both the ceremony, the cocktail and the dinner. Trust them for suggestions about specific songs, they are very professional and knows exactly what works best. For the after party, they can transform into a great DJ so make sure to book also that. The whole band is not only a great band, they are also amazing and lovely people! Thank you also for such a great site! The booking with FixTheMusic has been great, and so smooth to do from home when organizing a wedding in another country.”
