About Crescent City Jazz Band – New Orleans style jazz band for hire in London
Crescent City Jazz Band's infectious foot-stomping live shows have taken the London vintage scene by storm, quickly establishing them as the band that most accurately evokes the bold, brassy, blues-infused spirit of 1920s New Orleans jazz.
We're listed on FixTheMusic's 16 Best Jazz Bands in the UK 🏆
We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Lafayette on Goods Way, London.
Equally at home wowing rapturous crowds at London venues like The Ditch, The Nightjar and Wilton’s Music Hall or adding stylishly toe-tapping vintage sounds to a wedding celebration or prohibition-era spirit to a Great Gatsby party, we also appear in the short movie Melvin (2015), shot at the famous Pinewood Studios.

"These guys played at my daughter's wedding and wowed us all through the evening. They gave it their all and many of the guests mentioned how much fun they had; it really added to a wonderful party. Even the hotel asked for contact info and I assume that wasn't just because Crescent City Jazz Band had blown the roof off!"
"We booked Crescent City Jazz Band for a 50th birthday party and they went down a storm, even people who thought they did not like jazz were blown away. This is a band that is full of character playing the best jazz standards with infectious energy and brilliant musicianship. No matter what your age they interpret a jazz era full of such joy and pathos that it makes you glad to be alive. I don’t think Crescent City Jazz Band can have ever played a gig where the audience has not ended up romping along to their arrangements. Timeless music performed by brilliant musicians. A big genius slice of New Orleans served up to lucky Londoners without the airfare."
"Thank you for making our wedding day so incredible - you blew the roof off Borough Market!"
"We had the most AMAZING wedding day. I cannot thank you enough for your incredible band and exceptional playing - it was so much fun. It was a real pleasure to join you on stage for a couple of tunes. We had an absolutely fantastic time."
