Decatur Street Jazz is the real deal. Taking Jazz standards and making them their own (ask for their version of Art Blakey's Moanin'!) as well as jazzing up the occasional rock and pop hit. Spice Girls? Yep! Red Hot Chillis? Sure. Camila Cabello? Why not! Fronted with Rosie's vocals, which have been described by clients as a mixture of Ella, Billie and Amy Winehouse (their words!) Decatur's charm lies in their ability to read a room and play to their audience. Whether it's giving a couple the opportunity to slow dance to 'My Funny Valentine' or for everyone to sing along to 'Feelin' Good'. Individual members have played at notable venues including Ronnie Scott's, The Jazz Cafe, Kansas Smitty's and The 100 Club, performed in front of a crowd of thousands and supported Nile Rogers. Together they have 20+ years combined gigging experience and pride themselves on giving their very best at every performance.

Decatur Street Jazz's Reviews

5 out of 5

Decatur Street Jazz were wonderfully fantastic in our John Lewis & Partners Southampton store. Highly recommend.

5 out of 5

The band were fab before, during and after the event. They helped me with all tech issues and were very accommodating when I had to change venues. As for entertainment value I could not have asked for a better modern jazz band. They had everyone on the dance floor and the vibes was buzzing and they even took requests! Thank you for making the birthday extra special with your amazing talent!

Rosie and the band made the music for the event INCREDIBLE. They sounded amazing, they read the room, they had amazing stage presence and honestly created such a wonderful atmosphere. Rosie went above and beyond for the event and made the night so extra special. Thoroughly recommend Decatur Street Jazz if you want awesome musicians, an incredible singer and true professionals.

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

We are available as a trio, but also as a duo (vocals and keys) and as a solo singer with backing tracks.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?
