Chi Jazz are regulars for us here at Wisley, and there’s a reason for that. They are reliable, affable and, of course, provide quality jazz. Able to work the crowd like the top-tier gladiators of ancient Rome, they’ll have the audience relaxed, happy, and wanting more. Thanks to Matt and the guys for many years of great music” – James D Smith, Events Technician, RHS Garden Wisley.

Chijazz were the perfect band for our occasion, their sets included something for everybody. They started off the event with smooth ambient sounds and then get everyone dancing with their fabulous mixture of jazz and pop classics. Their sound was perfectly adapted for the venue and nothing was too much trouble.
