Campbell’s Jazz Soup

Brian and the band played at one of our corporate events. They were terrific. Our team really enjoyed the live music and kept asking me about where I got the great band. They really did a great job and I highly recommend them. It was very easy to work with Brian to set up the logistics. I would gladly have them back again soon.

I booked them for my nonprofit’s major donor fundraising event and they couldn’t have been a better choice! They were happy to accommodate all of our requests — including playing louder during the cocktail hour and nice and soft during dinner. Our guests loved the style and quality of the music — velvety and classic with a great balance of mellow & upbeat. We went with the three-​piece band which was just the right size for us — we had a room of about 100 guests.
The band leader, Brian, was also a pleasure to work with. He was friendly, communicative, and always prompt to reply to any questions I had. This is a fantastic band and I would readily recommend them to anyone looking for that 20s, 30s, 40s & 50s jazz & swing sound!

I hired Campbell’s Jazz Soup for my wedding because the bandleader, Brian Campbell, was so prompt, kind, and helpful over the phone. He replied the same day I inquired about my wedding, spoke with me for nearly an hour to hammer out the details, and then contacted me again several weeks prior to the wedding to confirm everything with me again, from my song choices to what I wanted the band members to wear. Simply because of Brian’s fabulous personality (and their great online reviews), I hired them without having heard them play in person. On the day of the wedding, I was thrilled to discover that they are absolutely wonderful musicians who kept our guests happy and dancing till the end of the night! They played in a two-​piece for our ceremony – we walked in to a jazzy, romantic «Blue Moon» and out to a happy «L.O.V.E.” – and then as a swinging five-​piece for our reception. When we wanted to do our first dance to a recorded song, they helped us play an iPod through their speakers. Throughout the planning process and the wedding itself, these guys were so accommodating and kind. All of my guests loved them and kept asking me where I had found this amazing band. I feel incredibly lucky to have found them.

Campbell’s Jazz Soup played during our wedding reception, and they were absolutely fantastic! We can’t recommend them highly enough. It was wonderful to have such great live music throughout the night — just what we wanted for what was a very special occasion. They started with a three-​piece ensemble for the dinner hour (fabulous music but people could easily converse, too) and then became a quintet for the dancing afterward. My father, a long-​time jazz lover, was just returned from his annual trip to the Monterey Jazz Festival and thought that Campbell’s Jazz Soup was just as good and better than any of the groups he heard there. He was thrilled and stayed, dancing, listening, enjoying, until the last note was played. They were just what we hoped for in all respects and were very reasonably priced, especially given the quality of the music. Bandleader Brian Campbell was a pleasure to work with and accommodated all our requests and schedule adjustments. Absolutely recommended.
