June 21, 2020What an incredible experience!
La Pompe played at our wedding last October in Evergreen, CO and they absolutely ROCKED it. To start, booking with them was a seamless process. David was very communicative, accommodating, and responded to our questions and requests in a timely matter. Their repertoire was extensive and incredibly diverse! We put in a few special requests and the band went above and beyond to deliver day of! Logistics and day-of set up went off without a hitch and my guests kept raving about how impressed they were with the quality of the music. They are talented, fun, and energetic and kept the energy up until close. My husband and I would highly recommend booking them for any future gigs! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them.

La Pompe Jazz performed at my daughter's wedding June of 2018. They provided ceremony music, cocktail music and reception music for listening and dancing.
The wedding date and the venue were chosen to accommodate La Pompe's schedule. La Pompe was truly the centerpiece of the wedding day activities with the venue, date, etc. falling in place after confirmation La Pompe would perform. All other elements were negotiable for the wedding day.
It was a pleasure working with David on selecting and arranging the songs and the flow for the day. With a special thank-you to all four of the guys for the "First Dance Song" that they arranged and performed at our request. A very successful presentation was obtained for the song previously not covered in their repertoire or other bands collections because of the difficulty, remarkability and recognition of the tune to the original performer as the only one of its kind. A daunting task to consider taking on, let alone to excel at.
It is refreshing and hopeful knowing that the world still has young people and dreamers willing to keep the past alive and to help others remember forgotten names and the talent that was originally presented over many previous decades. La Pompe's troupe provides that service well, along with performing more recent and original songs.
Andy, David, Erik and Kevin are consummate gentlemen and entertainers, and just plain fun to be around.
La Pompe entertained and delighted our friends and family as promised, and especially Mallory and Brad.
We thank you for the beginning through the ending of a perfect day.

October 26, 2015La Pompe Jazz: Better than anything you might hope for!!
A total homerun. Our wedding and reception were made so much better by their music!! In addition to their live performances, which were amazing, their help in the audio and special music requests were awesome.
I only wish I could capture the words to express how pleased our family was with David and the band. Talented artists, wonderful people, and they just made our event a smash hit. I would recommend them to anyone-without hesitation. They are just terrific!! The Dolan Family

January 28, 2026La Pompe was amazing!!
I booked La Pompe (3 piece band) for a corporate reception/party and they were absolutely amazing. The music level was perfect - they were upbeat but jazzy, great background music but not too slow or sleepy, and really worked with the vibe of the event. I would book them over and over, they were fabulous!

October 15, 2025Amazing band, so easy to work with
Wow, La Pompe was incredible to work with and an absolute showstopper during our wedding. I can't tell you how many of our guests came up to us during and after the event to say how much they loved the band. I know that at least 5 of them already plan on going to La Pompe's next show in Denver.
They were so professional and easy to work with, took care of things like getting set up at the venue so we didn't need to worry about it, were great at reading the room and playing songs to keep everyone dancing, and did an excellent job with any announcements we needed. Best of all, they learned our first dance song and did such a fantastic job on it that we almost just wanted to watch and listen rather than dance! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

About
La Pompe Jazz is a Denver-based gypsy jazz group formed in 2013. What started as a way to connect with fellow musicians and explore classic French gypsy tunes has developed into an eclectic blend of classic American jazz standards and "Hot Club de France" inspired tunes.
La pompe is the French term for the driving rhythmic pulse that is ubiquitous throughout the gypsy jazz style. Made famous by the legendary Django Reinhardt, gypsy jazz uses the steady beat of the rhythm guitar to propel the jazz swing.
Our current group consists of vocals, two guitars, an upright bass, & violin.
Also, don't forget to ask about our great relationship with local swing dancing troupe 'Swingin' Denver', if you are interested in swing dance lessons or a full performance to put your event over the top!
