All That Jazz really is one of the country's finest Jazz specialists working in the music business today. Whether it's atmospheric music during dining, or at a drinks reception, music for dancing or an all out concert, All That Jazz is the perfect choice to add style and sophistication to any event.
All That Jazz has a wealth of experience playing at high profile events across the country. They have appeared on ITV's "This Morning" show with Philip Schofield and Fern Britten and have also performed as the backing band to the 2006 "X Factor" runner up, Ray Quinn.
They have also appeared at venues such as The Grosvenor House and Hilton Hotel London, The Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and the NEC Birmingham, The Crown Plaza Manchester and the Royal Berkshire Hotel Surrey, to name just a few. They have also made countless appearances at stately homes and country house hotels, for occasions such as corporate events, weddings, parties and birthday celebrations etc, as well as being engaged by the British Military on many events throughout the year.
All That Jazz is happy to be completely flexible with regard to the ensemble line up, dress code, special requests, set and playing times etc in order to meet the requirements of the client exactly, to ensure that the event is a complete success and enjoyed by all.
All That Jazz is made up of hand picked professional musicians based throughout the UK and led by Mathew Richardson Bmus (Hons) who is a former scholarship student of the Royal Academy of Music London. Away from the ensemble Mathew along with the other members enjoy vast success as freelance musicians working at home and abroad on television, radio, on commercially available recordings and in some of the country's finest concert venues.
All That Jazz can be employed in the following standard line ups: - (Bespoke tailor made line ups are available on request i.e. solo, duo etc.)
Standard Trio = (Piano, Bass, Drums)...
This size of ensemble is perfect to provide music at a background level, which is clearly audible but does not interfere with the lively conversations taking place between family and friends or colleagues. The musicians have honed their skills over many years of playing corporate, wedding and military events where the ability to play low level swinging music is essential. The All That Jazz Trio creates a relaxed and classy atmosphere which enhances immensely the enjoyment of any meal or drinks reception. Alternative Trio line ups are available on request.
Quartet = (Sax, Piano, Bass, Drums)...
Still perfectly at home playing at background level as described in the Trio section, but with the addition of the saxophone to the rhythm section, the quartet has the ability to perform a fully blown Jazz gig to any size of audience, playing a set of Jazz Standards fused if necessary with Funk, Soul and Blues tunes just for good measure. This ensemble is perfect not only for functions such as corporate, wedding, birthday and military but also as the main evening’s entertainment at any jazz club, restaurant, venue or bar, providing a full concert for all music lovers. A range of P.A. sizes are available on request to cater for any size of event. Alternative Quartet line ups are available on request.
Quintet = (Vocals, Sax, Piano, Bass, Drums)
With the addition of vocals to the quartet, The All That Jazz Quintet is able to play all of the famous Swing Standards from Sinatra to Ella Fitzgerald and very much more. Since Robbie Williams re-popularised the ‘Rat Pack’ repertoire with his number one hit “Have You Met Miss Jones”, this is the perfect time and ensemble to entertain any audience in that style through to more modern ballads and bossa novas from the likes of Nora Jones and Diana Krall. Great for functions such as corporate, wedding, birthday and military but also as the main evening’s entertainment at any jazz club, restaurant, venue or bar, providing a full concert for all music lovers. Alternative Quintet line ups are available on request.

Comments: All that jazz we great, they arrived on time, set up quietly and worked together with the disco that we had also booked through Alive. They were friendly and professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
Alive made our job easy as the coordinator took care of everything for use, he answered any questions or queries promptly and effeiciently, and was extremely knowledgable and friendly.

Comments: Graham
The band were brilliant thanks. I felt sorry for them as they were positioned under a gazebo a little way from outside the house as the wind was really strong. Also we also ran out of time and never got to hear them play their last set. In hindsight it would have been better if they had been positioned in the building and I’d kept to two sets. However they were still really appreciated.
Please pass on my thanks to them.
Many thanks

Comments: Alive Network was extremely accommodating when it came to light we had mixed up our dates for the booking. This was handled very quickly and professionally. All That Jazz’s music matched exactly what we were looking for at our Jazz BBQ event and the band’s set up and down went extremely smoothly. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Agency and the Band in the future.

Comments: I was after a jazz type instrumental band and the Alive Network Coordinator made every effort to help make this a reality. It was a wedding gift/surprise to my husband and he thoroughly enjoyed their performance. It was worth every penny spent. I couldn't have asked for a better band. I'd definitely recommend Alive Network and 'All That Jazz' to family and friends. Thanks Gemma, you’re a star. 10 out of 10.

Comments: Hi Graham,
The band were absolutely amazing!! It was a very special moment pulling up to the marquee in our wedding car as they played outside, and throughout the meal they really added to the whole feel of the reception. So many guests commented on how great they were and I have passed on your details to a few too! I was only sorry I didn't manage to thank them personally before they left - please pass on our thanks. And thank you to you too Graham, your professionalism and help as I booked from Australia was really appreciated,
Best wishes from Andy and myself,
Annabel

Comments: Hi Gemma
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your email. Just wanted to say a big thanks for all your help with our booking. You certainly made the process very easy and were always very prompt in replying to my emails. We had a great wedding day and All that Jazz certainly added loads to our day. Both myself and James and all our guests thought that they were great. They arrived in good time and were all set up by the time we arrived. They were very friendly and relaxed. Performance-wise they were superb and I'm really pleased I booked them. Would definitely recommend them to friends. Please pass on my thanks to them.
