Working with The Jazz Connection
The Band’s Ability to Play as a Trio or Quartet
This great band is able to perform as a full jazz ensemble, yet is also able to play awesome music as a trio or quartet if the budget or performance space becomes a concern. Please tell us if you are interested in this option.
The Diversity of their Repertoire
When you put fantastic musicians together who are versed in such an unusually wide range of musical styles, you get an ensemble that can play the standards everybody hears so often, including such tunes as Georgia, Take The “A” Train and A Night in Tunisia, while also tackling tunes not as often played including Lady Bird, On Green Dolphin Street, All of Me, Sidewinder and so many others. In fact, you end up with a band able to play just about anything asked of them. We encourage you to peruse a small portion of our ever-expanding repertoire list.
Our Team — Matching Great Bands with Great Clients
The Jazz Connection is managed by Washington’s Entertainment Connection (WEC), an agency founded to help people find just the right band for their event. Whether it be The Jazz Connection that interests you or another band within the agency, call us today and let us know about your upcoming affair. Our experience and knowledge will allow us to match your needs with the proper music and the proper band. It’s quite different from speaking with an agent in the customary way. Through WEC, your needs will be matched exactly, rather than the conversation being about selling you a band. It’s a different tone and a different approach and one that great clients appreciate.
Many of the clients who have used WEC’s services are repeat customers. Once they’ve had the opportunity to experience the bands represented and the coordinating services provided through WEC, they keep us in mind whenever they have a need for live music. At WEC, it’s all about the customer. For example, the event must be managed, including manipulating the mood of the music; shaking it up to keep the audience engaged, involved and on the dance floor. The effort and care that we take in doing this is not lost on our clients. Our concern about getting everything right is evident and so is the fact that we have expertise beyond what anyone might normally expect from an agent. This has made for years of loyal customers and great testimonials.
WEC is an agency dedicated to providing quality by working with and encouraging great players, and above all else, encouraging their bands to constantly explore and to continuously improve upon themselves. WEC allows each band within the agency to experiment and create music with such quality, it emanates from the band, feels great and draws people onto the dance floor. This makes not just a good party, but an outstanding party. The Jazz Connection is renowned for this. The band works well as an ensemble from 3 – 6 pieces, and will dress to suit your occasion. We encourage you to check out our sample trio – quartet comparison clips.
What Does All This Mean for You, the Client?
For the client, all of our experience means peace of mind and a chance to relax and enjoy your own party. There are no worries that the band won’t be able to adapt to your group and make the party happen – our experience is your assurance of success. No worries about reliability or will the band show up or will they work with me. It’s all reflected in our customer-oriented attitude. We will be there and your party will be great. Your guests will talk about it as the best party of the year and you will be rewarded with their thanks.

How We Book and How We Charge
The Jazz Connection performs in concert, plays for weddings, clubs and parties where the people appreciate live music.
We are a project band, and we play together because we love the music. It is a job, an income and a living, but also a love, and we do it for the passion. So, as you consider booking us for your function, take a listen to the sound samples on this website. If you like the music, give us a call.
We always need to talk with each client in order to learn their needs and to make sure the band is the right fit for the event, and for this reason will not book the band unless we are able to consult with the client first. However, after we talk with you and learn about what you are looking for, if you wish to hire us, we will try to be reasonable and give you the best deal possible. We especially appreciate the client who believes that nothing is better than live music when you want to have a party. So, if you like the music and like the band, call us, and let’s see what we can do for you.
Also available as a trio or quartet. Contact us for more information.
