Performance made the event special
Martin made the event booking process easy. He scheduled a phone call to understand exactly what I was looking for and details about the event. While he wasn't personally available to play, he explained that he has an extensive network of professionals he books and had "the perfect guy" for our party. I received text messages from Martin to confirm details prior to the event. His colleague John arrived a little early to the event (how nice is that?) and was clear about what he needed. He started on time and played without breaks for 90 minutes. John interacted with guests and played requests without a fuss. Oh, and John was phenomenal--his selections were just right for the crowd and demonstrated his skills quite nicely. Martin texted after the event to make sure everything was satisfactory, which I appreciated. All in all, I was extremely satisfied with the experience from start to finish. Without hesitation, I highly recommend working with Martin and will definitely consider him (and his network) for my next event.

Excellent event!
Could not recommend BMR4 enough. We hired them to play our wedding cocktail reception and they were a huge hit. Extremely talented group and matched the vibe of our event perfectly. Chris was very easy to work with. 10/10!

The cost of booking a jazz band in Chicago, Illinois will vary depending on the length of the event, the size of the jazz ensemble, and their overall skill level. Professional jazz musicians with years of experience will often charge more than those just starting out. If you’re working with a tighter budget, consider a solo jazz musician like a saxophone player over a full jazz trio or quartet. Contact local jazz groups to get a quote customized for your event needs.
While browsing Chicago jazz bands, look through their profiles to see photos, watch videos, and listen to audio samples to get a feel for their style and setlist.
