REVIEWS.

"Scott and band made our wedding day truly special! Scott was super easy to communicate with and everything went seamless on our big day. The band even agreed to include a friend of mine as a singer in a few songs which made it all even more special. Their professionalism and skill to create the perfect atmosphere was outstanding. I highly recommend Jazz fever!"

Orit Silberman

"We hired Jazz fever to play at our wedding ceremony. We are absolutely over the moon with their performance. What they did with the songs we requested was beautiful, and even better than we had hoped. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and it was easy to communicate with Scott during the lead up. Truely professional, and talented. Highly highly recommend."
