Jbomb/Joshua Silbert Jazz Combo
Overview
JBOMB is a dynamic "one man band" combining the world of DJs with live instruments. Flexibility is my strong suit as I can be whatever you need me to be - a traditional wedding DJ or groovy mashups and loops combined with saxophone, keyboard and percussion. I can make any event truly unique.

July 2, 2025Excellent Entertainment
The Jbomb/Jazz Combo was an excellent choice for our annual event. Each year, the Eiteljorg Museum honors our amazing volunteers with great food and entertainment. Jbomb was prompt, professional, and played a fantastic playlist that everyone enjoyed. I will definitely book him again for a future event!

April 29, 2022Sensitive to the atmosphere of the group
Thank you, Josh, for being a part of our corporate dinner. I was very pleased with the whole evening. We’ve had many positive comments from our guests and staff. It was our first corporate dinner in 3 years and I’m thankful you were a part of it. Thank you for your sensitivity to the atmosphere of the group. I thought the music was wonderful. Although the woodwind player in me would have loved to have heard more saxophone!
Another time, I would love to have heard more of the style music you were playing at first. But thank you for changing it to fit the evening’s theme.
Please come back to Wabash. And let us know when you do!

This organization (and town) are a gem! Super easy people to work with and I was honored to be a part of their successful evening. I look forward to working with this client again. Gorgeous theater, super cool facility.

January 10, 2020Josh is a true professional
Josh is a true professional to work with. He has great attention to detail and keeps the party going. As an event planner, I truly appreciate how well he works, and communicates with, other vendors. Above all else, he always puts the client first. Being a musician himself, he is a wealth of knowledge about music.

Whether you're a client or a vendor, working with Sarah Farthing is an absolute pleasure (and I can't always say that about all the wedding planners out there). She has been in the biz for a while so she knows how to roll with the punches and communication is always great. There are a million good reasons her business is called All In The Details.

What to expect
I am here for you - to elevate your event in whatever way I can. I have done dozens of corporate gatherings and I have performed at hundreds of weddings. If you want a straight forward "stick to the playlist" DJ - no problem. If you want something a pleasantly different (but not too intrusive) where I incorporate mash-ups, world music and live instruments - I am more than happy to do this. If you want a combination of DJ and jazz combo - I can do that no problem. I have positive relationships with a number of regional event planners and I've done this long enough to understand how an event can be truly special. I would be honored to work with you.

Additional booking notes
Depending on the size of your event, I am happy to be your "one stop shop." I can provide an adequate sound system, appropriate lighting as well as perfect background music for guests arrival as well as dinner.
For an additional fee, I am happy to provide one of my live jazz combos for the evening.
Due to the flexibility of my set up, JBOMB can pretty much fit anywhere.
