We can play background cocktail jazz, with the standard jazz repertoire. But we also have a large repertoire of original compositions that audiences love.

Our clothing can reflect the event planner's vision, classy & formal, or casual.

Montreal group B's Bees is a hard swinging jazz outfit known for writing compelling original music and playing high energy interpretations of the music of past masters such as The Jazz Messengers, Thelonious Monk and Charlie Haden. Comprised of 5 core members and several charter members, they wowed over 800 people at their debut concert at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2012 with their individual and collective talents.

When bandleader Brandon Goodwin won a scholarship to play at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2012, he formed B’s Bees with a lineup of some of the young star players in the city and never looked back. Since then, B's Bees have been in demand at prominent clubs around Montreal and the surrounding area, playing over 50 shows and headlining two weekly Jazz parties. They are currently on the roster at two locations of Montreal’s House of Jazz. They’ve also developed an entire show of Charlie Haden compositions to pay tribute to the recently passed master.

B's Bees released their first album to much acclaim in 2015, featuring all original compositions by various members of the group. The eponymous album reached the #1 spot on several jazz radio charts, and reached #2 on Earshot Online's national jazz ranking.

We bring our instruments and can also provide our own sound system for an additional charge.

We need a minimum of 10 square feet per musician.

Depending on the type of performance, we don't necessarily need lighting or a stage.
