Verified booking on FixTheMusic"The evening was enhanced massively by a flawless performance by these guys! The guests enjoyed some smooth background music during the welcome reception and a more upbeat set after our Gala Dinner in Athens. I couldn't be happier with the band and how easy to work with and professional these guys are. I am sure to invite The Jazz Dukes to perform at our future events!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"From the moment we were introduced, the level of service was great and so accommodating, it was a complete pleasure to work with James and his fellow band members. The evening started with some background music suited to the atmosphere of guests arriving and the speeches, slowly picking up tempo with a session at the end for requests, it was superb. There were lots of comments throughout the evening which made it all the more special, certainly a group we would recommend and would have no hesitation to invite back for future events."
