The Ol’ Jazz Factory

We need access to the venue at least 1 hour before playing for set up. We require a deposit before the day of the gig and full payment, at latest, the day after the gig.

We play for however long you request and can either engage the audience actively through our music selections and song introductions, or just play the music straight through without song intros or talking to the audience. From our experience, it’s a lot more fun with some song intros, but you know what your event needs better than us. So, let us know!

We can play up to 45 minutes a set for a maximum of 3 full sets. You tell us how long and how many sets you would need!

We have been playing gigs for nearly 4 years now. We started off as fellow student musicians at our University but soon realized we loved playing together so much that we should try finding some gigs. Rock Step Swing Dance in Langley gave us our first several shows within our first year and recently, we performed at our new trumpetist’s (Alex) house for a year-end summer party in 2024. Most notably, we also performed at the Fort Langley Jazz Festival that year with our drummer/vocalist, Steven (who won a competition to perform at this gig with us), representing himself as the Rising Jazz Star. We love playing for swing dance and concert/festival gigs but also love so many other forms of jazz. If you have a request for Latin, salsa, bossa nova, blues, Dixieland, ragtime, ballads, smooth jazz, folk, just instrumental, just sung music, specific song requests (we can even prepare some rock or pop songs if specially requested far in advance) or anything similar to these options, shoot us a request and we’ll try to accommodate you’re preferences.

We have all the instruments and amplifiers needed for most gigs/venues. We’ve even played acoustically in a big community hall and the sound felt balanced. If you have a very large outdoor venue, we will need to DI our bass and piano into a sound system provided by you or your venue.
