All Jazz Live came into being as a reaction against those elusive and dwindling 'jazz gigs' and the necessity to keep me and my colleagues active. In recent times, landlords and owners of various establishments have found it off putting to go through the procedure of applying and obtaining an expensive 'music and dance' license which is renewed annually and approved by the local authority following a rigorous inspection of the premises for health and safety hazards etc. From the landlords point of view, it is far easier and much less hassle to simply provide a jukebox for their customers. more...

One landlord was very reluctant to pull out of the local jazz festival due to his experience of such difficulty;the music license required for the day had suddenly been denied by the LA (there had been no problem before), much to my frustration because I had played in his pub as part of the festival for the previous five years and was looking forward to playing there again. One of the many reasons why he had been refused a music license for the day was because he could not guarantee that a certain condition could be met: each customer should have floorspace equivalent to 1 square metre which meant that fewer people would be allowed into his usually packed pub, also he would have to pay the council for the privilege and pay the band of course. more...

Our attention has now become more focused on playing for people in a private capacity. We love the music and we really enjoy being a part of a special occasion.

We have played in just about all of London's top Hotels: Claridges, Hilton Park Lane, Millenium Gloucester, The Grosvenor... We specialize in performing for corporate events, wedding receptions and for those occasions where your guests are going to appreciate a high quality of musical entertaiment.

So here we are at your service. We hope that you will allow us the opportunity to make your special occasion a great success.

Yours sincerely, JHWorthington (Bandleader/Manager)
