The Jazz Cannons – The UK’s Masters of Swing.
The Jazz Cannons feature the cream of professional musicians who have worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Robbie Williams, Clare Teal, Jamie Cullum, Jools Holland, Eric Clapton, Michael Buble, Gary Barlow, The Pet Shop Boys, Salena Jones and many more.
Known throughout the UK as being a brilliant Swing Jazz Band, The Jazz cannons are so much more than that. Yes, Swing Jazz is what made the band famous but their performance can also include Rat Pack, Jive, Latin, Classic Pop, Soul and Funk! Truly a band to cater for all tastes.
Whether you need music to create a sophisticated ambience or you want the dance floor to explode into life The Jazz Cannons always deliver.
Here’s what they do- and how they do it!
Swing & jazz – All swing songs are carefully chosen so that guests of all ages will know all the songs or melodies. All songs are chosen for their tempos and danceable rhythms so that your guests will feel the need to fill the dance floor.
Rat Pack – The Rat Pack repertoire provides a classic Vegas show style feel. Whenever the Rat pack greats like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin put on a show it was the talk of the town. The style and charisma of that era oozes from the stage when these songs are performed by The Jazz Cannons.
Latin – The bands careful choice of mainstream well known Latin classics will ensure that as the night progresses the dance floor goes from full to packed. Making sure that dance floor is full while maintaining that feel of class and sophistication takes a skill that has been well perfected by The Jazz Cannons. The bands Latin repertoire is a sophisticated alternative to mainstream pop music.
Classic pop and soul – This takes the band into a more mainstream territory while again keeping the ambience very sophisticated yet fun. These songs have been carefully selected as they sound great with the band instrumentation and will ensure the dance floor is kept full.
Band options
The Jazz Cannons are available from a 4 piece upwards however the band works best as the 7pc which includes everything needed for a great night’s entertainment. Singer, rhythm section and 3pc brass gives a superb sound and opens up a wider range of music that can be played. Most of the band’s work is as a 7pc particularly for weddings. For large events the band can go to an impressive 10pc which brings in additional brass, guitar and female singer.
