The Russ Wilcox Group is quickly distinguishing itself as one of the top up and coming jazz ensembles in the region, having performed at numerous venues in the New England and New York areas. Russ Wilcox and his ensemble presents a unique sound, having a deep foundation in Bebop tradition with an influence of the cool jazz movement pioneered by Lennie Tristano and Lee Konitz, that has been compared to that of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

"Offering our sincerest thanks to the Russ Wilcox Jazz Group for creating the perfect atmosphere for the most magical day of our lives. We hosted a jazz brunch for our wedding reception in Martha’s Vineyard and can’t compliment the quintet enough for their professionalism, talent, and class.
The band arranged all of our song requests, and remained flexible with our schedule and preferences down to the last days before the wedding. They easily slid between different eras and styles of jazz and impressed every one of our guests.
We highly recommend Russ Wilcox and his band for your wedding or event, and can offer this as the highest endorsement of how well received their performance was at our wedding: after the wedding, our venue asked for their information to add them to the standard vendor list for future weddings at their hotel. Many thanks to Russ and crew for sharing this special day with us.”

“The Russ Wilcox Jazz Group helped to make our 50 guest holiday party a success. They were a delight to listen to and provided the perfect musical backdrop to drinks and hors d’oeuvres. They played a nice selection of music from jazz standards to holiday tunes. Their professional demeanor made everything, including booking, simple and easy.”

We offer a variety of musical genres that will compliment any occasion. We can provide light jazz standards that will compliment any dining experience that will have your guests speaking highly of your event or restaurant for months to come! We can also offer a larger ensemble that specializes in bebop, post-bop, and modern jazz that will bring a new, young energy to your concert setting.

Our ensemble can be expanded to include vocals and additional horns. We are also able to offer the Russ Wilcox Big Band, a full 16 piece big band that would be perfect for any dance.
