Punctuality
Our bands and musicians understand the need to be in the right place at
the right time and pride themselves on their ability to be ready to go when
the client requires. Clients don’t want a sloppy, late starting time to reflect
on the company.
Cooperation and flexibility
On the day things can change. You need a band that can go with changes
without disagreement. Jazz not Jazz musicians will do all they can to help make
your day a success. If they see an opportunity to make suggestions to improve
their service they will. Don`t forget, each musician is chosen for their musical
and life experience! If your needs as a client change as the day progresses,
speak to the guys, they will be sympathetic to your needs and go with your
requirements. They are totally customer focussed.
Briefed
Before your event your band will have been properly briefed as to where to be,
when to be there, what to wear, who to speak to, how to get to the event, what
music to play, how loud or quiet to play it and when to stop.
Presentation
We understand that our musicians are representing your organisation. If they
look bad in front of your customers so do you. Our musicians look as good as
they sound and they sound great!
Personality
Your clients may stroll up to a musician and engage him or her in conversation.
We choose our players for there ability to hold their own in company and be
polite, amusing, helpful and engaging whilst working on your behalf. We do a
great many events where celebrities are present. Amongst many others we
have played to Des O Connor, Princess Margaret, Tom Stoppard, Felicity
Kendall, Sir Robin Day, Sir Andrew Loyd Webber, Judie Dench, Donald Sinden,
Jools Holland and Mark Almond. Celebrities do not appreciate being pestered
by star struck fans at private events. We understand this and so do our
musicians.
Musicality
Finally the music. Yes, we hadn’t forgotten the importance of the quality of the
performance. Thats why we only use the best musicians that London has to offer.
As the owner of Jazz not Jazz and a professional musician myself, I have chosen
to work with only the best. I have seen them work, have played alongside them
and have seen how they deport themselves before booking them on my own
engagements. Be assured that all our players are properly vetted. Many of them
are musicians who have worked as sidemen and women for such top artists as
Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Robbie Williams, Edie Reader, Billy Ocean, Cliff
Richard, Beverley Craven, Phil Collins, Kate Bush and Lisa Stansfield.
