How can I listen to mykindofjazz?
Listen to the mp3 audio on this website or email us for a free demo CD.

How much does mykindofjazz cost?
Send us an email for a quote. Please include the date and location of your function and any other relevant details.

When is payment due?
A 25% deposit will book your date, and the rest of the balance is due on the evening either by cheque or cash. Please bear in mind that this is something that it is easy to forget while you are enjoying your big day, so it may be a job for the best man.

What do the musicians need?
Our musicians may have travelled long distances to reach you, so they'll require a hot meal when they arrive at the venue and soft drinks to keep up their energy levels.

As they'll be bringing electrical equipment, a power supply is also essential.

What are mykindofjazz's different line-ups?
When we provide a quote we will tell you how much the different sizes of band cost so you can choose a line-up according to your requirements and budget.

The different line-ups include:

"Instrumental" groups from Solo Cocktail Piano through to a Jazz Quartet
or
Solo Jazz Vocalist (with professionally made backing tracks)
Duo (Vocals & Piano)
Trio (Vocals, Piano & Bass)
Quartet (V,P,B & Drums)
Quintet (V,P,B,D & Guitar)
Sextet (V,P,B,D,G & Sax)
Septet (V,P,B,D,G,S & Trumpet)

How long do you play for?
We usually play for a period of 2-3 hours depending on your requirements. These are split into 45 minute or 60 minute sets with a couple of breaks in between.

Do you play recorded music during your breaks?
Yes, we play music from CD. If you prefer you can provide your own CD’s.

Can you play at our wedding ceremony/drinks reception/dinner as well as providing music for the evening?
Yes, this is something we do regularly. Please email us with your requirements. You may prefer to have a smaller combo earlier in the day (i.e. a duo or jazz quartet) and have the rest of the band arrive in the evening.

How much space do you need?
Probably less than you think, approximately 5m x 4m for the full 6-piece band. We are adept at fitting into unusual spaces! A stage isn’t necessary (although it’s a bonus if you do have one). We can also play outside, but will need to be under cover in case of rain as our equipment is easily damaged.

How long do you take to set up?
It usually takes us about 40 minutes to set up, and we aim to arrive an hour before the performance. If you would like us to arrive earlier to set up this is usually possible but may involve a small extra 'waiting fee'.

How far do you travel?
Usually within approximately 2 hours of London. We will consider playing further away, but you may need to provide accommodation and travel expenses.

Can we come and see you live?
Nearly all of our gigs are weddings and private functions, so unfortunately it’s not usually possible.

What if I have to cancel?
No problem, although your deposit is non-refundable.

Have mykindofjazz ever had to cancel?
No. If one of the band is taken ill, we have plenty of backup musicians available.

What do I need to do to book?
Just fill out a booking form and send it to us with a 25% deposit. Email us for a booking form and send this with the deposit cheque to Simon Baronti, 93 Winchester Road, Feltham Middx, TW13 5PD.
