Introduction
Hello Potential Client, I am a Bay Area professional bassist and band leader. I play with some of the best Jazz, Latin, Soul and Pop musicians in the Bay area and we play regularly at various restaurants and clubs around town. We have headlined at SF Jazz twice where we paid l tribute to the great Nina Simone and also another night where we paid tribute to women composers. We have also performed at San Jose Jazz Festival performing our original music. We would love to play at your event and can put together a band that fits your needs including special requests! We are all professional musicians and have been performing around the Bay for many years as well as toured around the world. We play everything from straight ahead Jazz, Swing to Bossa Nova, Latin, Funk, Pop to old school Blues and Soul. We are very versatile and have had many successes with our performances through this site. The price depends on how many musicians you would like and how long you would like us to play. Please let me know if you are interested and have any questions but keep in mind I get charged a steep fee for every email you send me. So please message me if you are seriously considering hiring. Thank you! Thanks, Caroline

I had a last-minute wedding venue change and was so excited when Citizens Jazz was able to confirm to play for our ceremony with such short notice. They were punctual, provided great music for our ceremony and even brought a portable amp so that our guests could hear the guitarist since it was an outdoor venue. Thank you for making our day so special! All our guests commented how great Citizens Jazz was!

Details: Wedding ceremony • 51 - 75 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 18 - 30 years old • Band • No preference • Jazz / Blues • Covers • Outdoors

Citizens Jazz provided cocktail hour music for our work holiday party. We requested the trio. Their team was very professional and the music was perfect for the mood. I would definitely recommend them.

I hired them as a Trio for my military retirement social. A 27 year career in the US Air Force. The social was held at the Travis AFB Heratige Center. It was fantastic! The 40s 50s jazz music set the perfect backdrop for my event, at I had requested a Bassist, Guitarist and Sax but the Sax was not available, the Trombone that filled the Trio worked out great. All my guests loved the even. Thanks Citizens Jazz!

Citizens Jazz was wonderful to work with in every sense. Caroline was quick to respond to all messages, worked with me to figure out timing, and they even learned a few theme songs for us!. They were very prompt the day of and everyone loved their music! We wound up asking them to stay longer than was originally planned, because everyone was enjoying their music so much. Would love to work with them again.

The sound! Oh man. Caroline, those youtubes you linked don't do you guys justice. Caroline/Citizen Jazz played my wedding this past weekend. This is a very professional, and highly skilled group of musicians. I'm pretty far from being a qualified music critic or whatever you call them, but I've played music and performed live enough in my lifetime to be somewhat qualified to judge here. These guys are definitely a big, big step above some of those random live ensembles you see at weddings. I got really lucky finding them on such short notice. My only disappointment is not getting to thank Caroline in person for the amazing job they did!
