August 31, 2021They played our wedding at a winery this summer and were awesome. Great sound, everybody loved them, and they were super easy to work with. The venue's event manager also kept telling us how great they were. Would hire them again, no question.

August 25, 2021I commissioned The Bailsmen to play live music for a house party I threw a few weeks ago. The initial call with Abraham was professional and to the point. He is quick to respond and professional. The band arrived on time, dressed to impress. They were well mannered and respectful during the setup phase and offered to help even in areas that did not pertain to their gig. The sound of the music was crisp and clean. They knew how to read the crowd and to adjust accordingly. The entertainment was well received by all my guests. I would definitely hire them again. It’s a no brainer - and there’s nothing to think about.

We are happy to tailor the band's instrumentation and playlist to make this a wonderful party. We can play as just a trio for the ambiance. For something a little bit more lively we can add horns, accordion, and singing. Let's come up with something unique to your event.
Brooklyn’s The Bailsmen play Gypsy Jazz and Vintage Swing, and are described as “fun, creative, and upbeat” by their fans. With over 200 events and concerts a year, the Bailsmen are New York's busiest jazz band. Mixing French bistro, New Orleans dance party, and New York sophistication, the Bailsmen have been inspired by Django Reinhardt, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Sidney Bechet since 2011.
In the last 7 years, the Bailsmen have expanded their repertoire to include original compositions and modern adaptations of classic French and American jazz and swing tunes, as well as innovative takes on Django Reinhardt’s gypsy-inspired jazz. But no matter what they’re playing, it’s hot.
