About Us

The Anchormen Jazz Orchestra (AJO) is a 17-piece jazz and big band group providing the highest quality of live musical entertainment for any corporate, wedding, private event, or festival.

Our shows are packed full of some of the best music ever written, and spans decades of hits across every genre – including swing, Latin, funk, pop, soul and the timeless sound of big band.

We can tailor our Big Band Party Show to suit your requirements and GUARANTEE you and your guests a ‘live’ band experience the likes of which is rarely seen today.

From Frank Sinatra to Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin to Amy Winehouse, Average White Band to Bobby Darin, and many more wonderful artists – our musicians and vocalists will light up your event with the energy and excitement only a full jazz orchestra can provide – and all brought to you through our totally unique band set up that NOBODY else in the country can match.

We pride ourselves on our professionalism and understanding of how important it is to get every aspect of your events entertainment exactly how you want it – so if you need us to fit a ‘theme’, you require a smaller group prior to the main event, you need DJ fills during breaks for the orchestra, or indeed a change of music style for a particular part of the event, we can cover it for you.

And if it’s straight-ahead Big Band Jazz you’re looking for to feature in your Jazz or Music Festival, then our ‘Big Band Legends’ Show – featuring the unmistakable music of artists such Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich and Stan Kenton – will have everything you’re looking for.

Extras

Booking AJO for your event also gives you access to a range of extra entertainment. From a solo pianist to a small jazz group for your arrival drinks, vocalists for a wedding service, or a DJ set, we can cover pretty much every aspect of your entertainment needs.

In an age of live entertainment, where you seem to get less for your money these days, AJO definitely gives you more. You’ll be very surprised at how reasonable our rates are for an 17 Piece Live Orchestra!
