Instead of drums, a saxophone can play for a more elegant swing. They play at balls, corporate parties, gala events and weddings.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the approximate price of the jazz quartet?
The jazz quartet starts at CZK 27,000 for a standard evening — 2 hours of live music with one 15-minute break — including the BOSE PA system and travel within Prague; outside Prague we charge CZK 14 per kilometre (we travel in two vehicles). The final price depends on the date, length and type of event — weekdays and early bookings work out better. We send an exact quote within 24 hours; details are in the price list.
Drums or saxophone — which to choose?
With drums the quartet has a full, rhythmic sound that gets the dance floor moving — ideal for balls and parties with dancing. With saxophone it sounds more elegant and melodic, ideal for dinner, a reception or a swing evening. We are happy to advise based on your programme.
Do you play for dancing?
Yes, thanks to the drums the quartet has a full, rhythmic sound that gets the dance floor moving — which is why it is a popular choice for balls and company parties.
Is the quartet suitable for a ball?
Yes, a ball is a typical event for the quartet. We build the programme around the schedule of the evening, from listening music to dance sets. For a hall with more than 100 guests, the organiser provides a PA with a sound engineer.
Do you bring your own PA system?
Yes, we bring our own professional BOSE PA system for events of up to 80–100 guests. For larger halls and big outdoor events the organiser provides a sound engineer. More in the article how many musicians for how many guests.
What are the technical requirements?
The quartet needs at least 4 × 3 m of floor space and one standard 230 V socket; we arrive an hour before the start. Outdoors, solid cover for the band and equipment is required. The full rider is in the article what the band needs on site.
How far do you travel?
We are based in Prague and play all over the Czech Republic. Events in Prague and the surrounding area we arrange flexibly; more distant bookings, including abroad, by agreement.
