Sunset Brass Band: New Orleans funeral parades
http://www.londonjazzandswingbands.com/sunset_brass_band_new_orleans_funerals.htm
The Sunset Brass Band is a traditional New Orleans style marching jazz band. A classic New Olreans style funeral will include a marching band. The band marches the coffin to the graveside and plays hymns and spirituals before and after the ceremony. The music respects the person who has died while also reflecting on the good times when they were alive. Flee as a Bird. Just A Closer Walk With Thee. Lily of the Valley. Washington and Lee Swing. Swing Low Sweet Chariots.

Champagne Swing: Hot club, Django Reinhardt style jazz band
http://www.londonjazzandswingbands.com/champagne_swing_hot_club_jazz.htm
Music inspired by the great recordings of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Violin, guitars, double bass, a sound to make you smile! We play a selection of swinging jazz standards, traditional gypsy folk tunes, french musette, walzes and bossanovas. Everyone thought the music was fantastic, I received lots of positive feedback and my only complaint is that wandering off for photos meant I had less time to listen to you." - Andrea, bride. It was perfect." - Amy, bride. Some of These Days.

Enquiries about a jazz band for your event
http://www.londonjazzandswingbands.com/jazz_and_swing_band_enquiries.htm
All of these bands are flexible in terms of numbers of musicians and instrumentation. It is often possible to play acoustically. PA equipment can be provided where necessary, and it is often possible for the band to lend their equipment for speeches or playing recorded music. I have gathered a top class group of professional musicians who like to entertain, are courteous, dress smartly, turn up on time and play good music. If I am unable to help you I can often recommend someone else.
