About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Crosstalk (formerly known as Bogg Jazz Ensemble) is the only jazz ensemble based in Portland, OR area that provides completely customizable musical experiences for their clients. The band specializes in performing both classic jazz songs and reworked pop songs outside of the traditional jazz canon. Jazz arrangements of Taylor Swift, Tears For Fears, and Mr. Rogers are just as common in Crosstalk sets as Cole Porter and Miles Davis are. As a band interested in performing new music, we offer our clients the ability to collaborate with us on an original setlist for their event. Please get in touch and let us know what you need for your event, we love a challenge! We know that one of the most important parts of your big day is choosing the right soundtrack. Crosstalk has over 10 years of professional wedding experience and we pride ourselves on developing a unique, special, and unforgettable vision for your wedding day. No two weddings are alike and the same should be true of the music as well. Down to the last detail, your wedding should be your own and so should the soundtrack you choose to celebrate it with. All the members of Crosstalk perform regularly in the Portland scene as in-demand rhythm section players and tour with regional and national artists in Washington, California, Colorado, and more. Though we anchor ourselves in jazz and soul, we defy expectations and bridge several musical and artist genres Crosstalk will always show up well-dressed, on time, and ready to create something special. After all, the more fun we have making music, the more you will enjoy listening to it!

Review by Marlene G.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on January 18, 2018From Livermore, CA

Bogg Jazz Ensemble were very easy to communicate and work with during the hiring process. They were quick to respond with information and very professional and accommodating. We hired them for an 85th birthday party at our home. They showed up with plenty of time to set up and begin playing on time. They were flexible with our end time. Our guests were very impressed with them. They made the party perfect! I hope to host another event in which we could hire them again!

Crosstalk Jazz Ensemble`:

Hi, Marlene! We had a great time performing at your event and appreciate the kind words. After this, the band was taking what was supposed to be a short break that was made longer by the pandemic. We are back now as Crosstalk Jazz Ensemble based out of Portland OR. We are excited to get back in the mix and start adding our special touch to all sorts of events! We hope to work with you again!

WeddingReviewed on May 15, 2017From Sacramento, CA

Bogg Jazz was just perfect! We were wary to book any band for our wedding without hearing them live first, but we went on faith in their good reviews and we were NOT disappointed! The band communicated professionally leading up to the event and helped guide us when we weren't sure what type of music we wanted for portions of our wedding. On the day of, they were on-time and the music was exactly what we had hoped for. If you're on the fence about booking them, do it; I can't recommend them highly enough!

Holiday PartyReviewed on December 13, 2016From San Francisco, CA

Bogg Jazz is extremely talented, and a must have addition to any event. They entertained my guests and I at our Yacht Clubs annual holiday party. Bogg was lively, professional, personable, friendly, and very accommodating. I cannot wait to host another party, just so I can hire them. All guests sentiments were similar and positive. I cannot recommend them enough!
