You and Your Guests Will Dance the Night Away!”
- Light Rock

- Jazz
- Booked as 3 – 8 players
The Jazz Connection is a modern, well established band that brings the classics back to life from the 20′s. 30′s, 40′s and 50′s. Our party guests may one moment sway to Ray Charles sultry ballads like “Georgia”, the next minute joyously shake the dance floor to Duke Ellington’s high energy “A Train”, or groove with the smoky jazz club nostalgia of Dizzy Gillespie’s “Night in Tunisia”. We have performed at various well-known venues and concert halls, including The Kennedy Center in Washington DC, and Twins Jazz. This is a band that prides itself on matching the mood of the music to the mood of the guests.
View the video to the right of the band performing in front of a large crowd, Summer 2007, Washington DC. (103 degree heat — hence the sports coats removed and no formal uniform…) Members of these bands are capable of playing authentically in a variety of rock and folk styles. For the event that requires flexibility, the band is available from 2 – 6 pieces. What we play and how we dress are completely up to you! Contact us for more information.
“I should mention that many people, my sister-in-law and brother especially who go to Ron Carter’s concerts fairly frequently (they live in the same building in NYC and are on the same coop board together) and know their jazz, thought your band was fantastic. And it was. I couldn’t have been happier.”

About Our Bands
Catering the music to your needs:
Our bands are uniquely flexible, in that they are individually able to play many different genres of music, including Rock, Pop, Funk, R&B, Jazz, Swing, Klezmer and Classical, all in the same event. For those who love the 60″s sound, we even have an awesome Beatles Tribute band. Each of our bands has their own specialty, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that they are limited to only that sound or style. Our bands cater their repertoire to your event. For example you hire one of our rock bands , and you want to hear some latin, jazz, or swing music. No problem we can do that! We encourage you to check out each of our bands and sample the wide variety of music they can play. Then you can judge for yourself.
Catering the service package to your needs:
Our bands cater to your music needs, from the solo player who can serenade your guests, to the duo, trio or quartet that can add the perfect ambiance and touch of class to your ceremony or cocktail hour, to our 5-12 piece bands for the main event or reception. We do it all, and can customize a package just for you. Our bands will also dress to fit the occasion or theme of your event. If you have special requests, just ask.
Professionalism – No Matter What Band You Choose:
Washington’s Entertainment Connection guarantees professionalism from all of our bands and has a proven record for creating outstanding performances and incredible parties! (Visit our page of testimonials.) Unlike any other agency, the owner of WEC, Brian Choper, is a well know and respected drummer who plays with many of the bands represented. Professionalism is our top priority. Our bands will arrive on time and start on time, and will always look awesome. They will do everything they can to ensure your event is impressive, awesome and runs perfectly.
A Duo or Trio for Your Ceremony or Cocktails
Consider including us in your ceremony, pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, or planned segment prior to the party reception. We invite you to ask us about our duo and trio options. It does not matter whether it will be for a corporate event , Bar or Bat Mitzvah, birthday party, wedding or anniversary. In fact, adding a live duo for the ceremony and a trio for the cocktails can add an incredible touch of warmth and elegance to your event. Our combos play anything, including ethnic, latin, jazz, swing, light rock and more. Imagine a violin, clarinet or saxophone with bass serenading your guests as they enter your ceremony or enjoy cocktails. Nothing could be more fun or reflect your tasteful elegance better. And as an extension of the full band, assuming these moments directly precede the main party, we can offer you a very reasonable rate for this smaller group, as the players are already on location. Keep in mind that as good as our trios are, nothing compares to the excitement, energy and versatility of the full size band. Your celebration will have just the right elements of both to keep your event exciting and memorable. With all of these options available, you can’t go wrong! Contact us for more information on these options.
