"Black Market Jazz Orchestra was definitely a hit and everyone loved
dancing and listening to your music."

"Out of this world, excellent and

be proud of yourself and your band because when you play you are
bringing nothing but happiness and a good time to those that are
fortunate enough to be in your audience."

presentation."

"Thank you for the music for our
winter party. During the cocktail hour, the music from the five-piece
jazz combo was exquisite. And during dinner and dancing, the Black
Market Jazz Orchestra never missed a beat. The music really kept
the party moving!"

Black Market Jazz Orchestra is a 16
to 19 piece sophisticated dance band that plays music from every
era. The band features customized arrangements and outstanding musicianship.
All the members of the Black Market Jazz Orchestra are professional
musicians working in the Bay Area as teachers, composers, arrangers
and studio musicians. They have backed up numerous top name entertainers
such as Ray Charles, Connie Stevens, Jerry Vale and Marilyn McCoo.
The band formed in 1993, and quickly became popular playing art
and wine festivals, as well as conducting music clinics teaching
young adults ( high school and intermediate) the art of playing
Jazz.
Although BMJO still has a commitment to education, they also now
play several hundred engagements a year across the country, including
corporate events, shows, theme parties, and weddings. The primary
focus of the band is to perform music at its highest level and bring
the joy of music to as many people as possible.
Expect nothing less than a stellar performance from this band.
