A Gypsy Jazz Band
for your wedding
or corporate event

Authentic Montreal swing
for distinguished events

Montreal "élégance"
for your event

Gypsy Jazz is a festive music that carries a positive energy. It is the number one music choice for weddings and other corporate events.

This music was created by the musician Django Reinhardt and developed in Paris in the 1930s. Andy MacDonald has been active in the Canadian jazz manouche scene for over 15 years, and has a versatile mastery of the genre.

Asking for the Gypsy Jazz band for your event or wedding in Montreal is a bit like having precious vintage elegance served on a platter.

Duo ? Trio ?
Quartet ? Quintet ?

The number of musicians you'll choose for your event will depend on your budget, but also on your musical tastes. Here are some recordings to help you know how the gypsy jazz band will sound like with 2, 3, 4 or 5 musicians. These are famous jazz tunes than guests always enjoy listening to.

L.O.V.E (Nat King Cole)

Bossa Dorado (Dorado Schmitt)

La crème de la crème
of musicians

The managers of Montreal Jazz Prestige, Andy MacDonald & Sarah Kennedy, are experienced musicians with extensive experience and connections in the jazz scene. They are musicians that you could see in concert in the most highly acclaimed jazz clubs in Montreal.

Thanks to our excellent reputation as professionals, we can be highly selective when choosing musicians for your event. We will always choose "la crème de la crème" (the best of the best).

Festive vibe
or intimate atmosphere?

Gypsy Jazz can be played with 4 or 5 musicians as well as in duos. The ideal configuration for two musicians would be the guitar duo or the guitar-violin duo. Here is a video that gives you an idea of the sound you can have at your wedding or event with this duo formula.
