Are you tired of searching directory sites advertising semi-pro wedding bands that call themselves jazz bands? I offer something much better: real, working New York jazz bands comprised of some of the most highly regarded jazz musicians in the world. And to make things simple, I’ve organized this site to make it easy for you find the perfect band for your specific needs:
While the national directories may claim to offer “The best jazz bands in New York City” or the “the definitive list of New York’s jazz bands,” in reality, they are generic databases open to anyone. The top-ranking bands are dominated by the lowest bidders, who tend to generate repeated commissions for the site owners, which process tends to drive out the “best.”
