Description
Enjoy the sounds of Jazz and Latin music standards with Jazz By Design. Their music creates a welcoming and intimate atmosphere in which to greet your guests and enjoy your event.?This group is popular with wedding clients, corporate event planners, wineries, and art & wine festivals.
The group also performs for Jazz Cruise clients and Clubs.
Jazz By Design is very popular as a jazz trio. But as the name suggests, we can "design" the right size group for your event/budget:
Jazz Trio (Piano, Bass, Drums)
Jazz Quartet - A (Piano, Bass, Drums, & Sax)
Jazz Quartet - B (Piano, Bass, Drums, & Vocalist)
Jazz Quintet (Piano, Bass, Drums, Vocalist, Sax)
We are certified by "Here Comes The Guide" as part of Silicon Valley Music.
This meant we passed a rigorous certification process requiring 30-40 references, including wedding industry professionals and at least 10 recent brides. They contacted each reference and got their honest feedback. Only if the company gets a rave review do they accept them as a client.
Looking for something more? We also can expand Jazz By Design to our party band confirguration - called Silicon Vibe. These 9-14 musicians provides a high energy show with a bigband style horn section.
And our 7 piece ensemble Hip Affair adds one more vocalist and guitar player to our Jazz By Design quintet creating a nice mix of Jazz, Latin and R&B favorites for your event.
Jazz By Design performs everything from standards & ballads to contemporary Jazz/Latin. We can be ambient (as often requested for cocktails during weddings or corporate events). We can also be hip and showy (as if playing at one of the Jazz Festivals).
Our set list of music is constantly evolving, adding tunes and creating custom performances as needed.
Jazz By Design provides you with unforgettable, affordable musical entertainment. Contact us today to 'design' your perfect event!

Feedback
- Carlos,
Thanks again for all your expertise & beautiful music, which certainly made our kids' wedding spectacular for all our guests. I can't tell you how many of our guests commented (unsolicited) on how great your trio was. To us, there is nothing like live jazz music & the added bonus for us was the breadth & range of your trio's talents. Of course, the dancing of the Hora almost did me in, but it was so much fun!!!
