5000 Jazz Assassins Jazz Band from Brooklyn, NY

We don't sound like the other jazz bands. Our Louie Armstrong-style vocals and unique instruments, like steel tenor guitar and banjulele, give us a raucous, authentic sound. This is old timey jazz as it was in the beginning - down and dirty, risky and irreverent, fun and alive. 5000 Jazz Assassins is also completely customize-able. The three core members are Alex Harvey on tenor guitar, Lorenzo Wolff on bass, and Jono Waldman on vocals and banjulele. But we play with a rotating roster of New York & New Orleans' greatest traditional jazz soloists. From trumpets and trombones, to fiddles, clarinets, and xylophones, we build our ensemble to suit your occasion and budget, playing as everything from a trio to a septet. You can find us at speakeasies and cocktail hours all over the city, playing and singing like it's our last night on earth.
