Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

The best gig we've ever done was a wedding performance at the stunning Quinta da Pacheca. The setting was absolutely magical, with its picturesque vineyard backdrop creating the perfect ambiance for live jazz. What made it truly special was the connection we felt—not only with the couple and their guests but also with the incredible team coordinating the event. It felt less like 'just another gig' and more like being part of a beautifully orchestrated celebration. The warmth and appreciation we received made it an unforgettable experience!


What's your favourite type of event?

My favorite type of event is one where live music becomes an integral part of the atmosphere, enhancing the emotions and creating unforgettable moments. Weddings, for example, are incredibly special—there’s something magical about setting the tone for a couple’s big day and being part of such a meaningful celebration. I also love intimate gatherings and private events where the music can truly connect with the audience on a personal level. It’s all about creating moments that resonate and stay with people long after the event ends.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I’ve been passionate about music for as long as I can remember. My journey began with a deep love for jazz and improvisation, which led me to years of studying, composing, and performing. I started gigging during my early days as a guitarist, playing small jazz clubs and private events. Over time, this evolved into performing at weddings, corporate events, and festivals. Each experience taught me the importance of adaptability, connecting with audiences, and delivering performances that make an impact. Today, I bring that same dedication and passion to every event I’m a part of.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I’ve been deeply influenced by legendary jazz guitarists like Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall, as well as modern players like Julian Lage. Their creativity, phrasing, and ability to tell a story through music have shaped my approach to both performance and composition.

As for my favorite artist, it’s hard to choose just one, but I’d say Bill Evans holds a special place in my heart—his emotional depth and harmonic sophistication are unparalleled.

The greatest song of all time? That’s a tough one, but I’d go with 'Body and Soul.' It’s a timeless standard that embodies the essence of jazz: complex, emotional, and endlessly inspiring.

Whether it’s an intimate solo performance or a lively ensemble, we bring elegance, professionalism, and a passion for creating unforgettable moments through music.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup time = 30 to 45 mn
Performance times (suggestion) = 1 x 60 mn set; 2 x 50 mn sets or 3 x 45 mn sets


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm happy to play outside if it’s not too cold or windy, but I ask for shade, a flat, level surface, and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients have described my music as a high-quality performance that offers an exceptional listening experience for those who truly appreciate live music.


Can you adapt the setlist to include our favorite songs?

Absolutely! We are happy to personalize our setlist to include your favorite jazz standards or any special requests. Let us know what songs hold meaning for you, and we’ll seamlessly incorporate them into the performance to make your event even more unique and memorable.


What makes Jazz Premium different from other wedding bands?

Jazz Premium focuses exclusively on high-quality jazz music, offering a touch of class and sophistication unmatched by typical wedding bands. Our musicians are experienced professionals with a deep love for the genre, ensuring an authentic and captivating performance. From romantic ballads to upbeat swing, we bring a timeless charm that enhances every moment of your event.


What technical setup do you require for a performance?

Jazz Premium comes fully equipped with professional-grade sound equipment, including portable PA systems, mixers, and microphones, ensuring excellent audio quality for both small and medium venues. We only require access to a reliable power source near the performance area. For outdoor events, we recommend a shaded or covered space to protect instruments and equipment from weather conditions. If your venue already has a sound system, we can easily connect to it and work with your audio technician to optimize the setup. Our team handles all the setup and soundcheck, ensuring everything runs smoothly before your event begins.
