Fronted by Tenor Saxman/Vocalist Scotty Silver, WestSide is a bunch of like minded cats, all digging deep, all the time.
WestSide, a quartet, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Sax/Vocals, from the Westside of SF is full of local boys, living here in town, keeping the jazz pot stirred. Always driving, always vibrant. You hear funk when you'd of thought swing, and never mind all the other infectious grooves, Latin, Funk, Soul, Second line, Boogie and what not? Cool party band. Killer Chops. You'll wonder why there aren't more local jazz bands like this ! The bands always having fun, feeling it. So will you ! You dig?

December 18, 2023We hired Scott and his team for our corporate holiday party. Scott was a pleasure to work with and his band was the life of the party! You could tell his team was very passionate about what they do and they had the whole room dancing. Scott and his team were able to read the room really well and were able to adjust the sound, vibe, and genre accordingly. They put their own flair on everything and were very engaged with the crowd. We look forward to working with Scott again!

February 21, 2022We loved having Scott and his band West Side Jazz play our wedding at the Presidio Yacht Club in Marin! From the calls to arrange the songs to be played, to Scott providing his PA system for our ceremony, cocktail hour and speeches, it was a pleasure to work with Scott and communicating with him was always easy and fun! Scott happily facilitated the instruments and the styles of music we preferred to be part of the band (loved the double bass!).
Scott's band have a wide repertoire of songs both for the early part of a wedding after party for a more casual drinking and conversational mood, through to upbeat songs that got the crowd up on the dancefloor. The band also played out first dance which was amazing. So many of our guests raved about how much they enjoyed the band!
We are so happy with how the party turned out with Scott's band playing and would recommend them to others in a heartbeat! Go check them out playing in the city too!
Thanks!

Looking forward to having them at our next event.
