Orlando Combo jazz band

With a wealth of experience from over 500 wedding gigs, you'll want to check out our performances in the 'videos tab'! Orlando Combo is fully insured, vaccinated, and primed to entertain while adhering to all government guidelines. We regularly grace major Melbourne events, including the Australian Tennis Open (for 5 years), the AFL Grand Final, the Presidents Cup golf in 2019, the Melbourne Cup at Flemington (for 12 years), the Commonwealth Games, and the Australian Grand Prix, among others. Our esteemed corporate clients include BHP, L'Oreal, Ferrari, Ernst and Young, ANZ, CBA, NAB, Pfizer, Telstra, IBM, LendLease, PWC, BMW, and the AFL. We also have a strong focus on wedding performances.

For eight consecutive years, Orlando Combo has had the pleasure of performing at the Botanical Hotel in South Yarra, as noted by General Manager Peter Baker. Our repertoire features vintage Swing and Lounge Jazz from 'The Jazz Age', the 'Great American Songbook', and the smooth sounds of the 'Blue Note' records label, alongside classic Rhythm & Blues and retro Soul & Motown dance favorites. Whether you're looking for an intimate Trio or a full Sextet, we offer both instrumental and vocal selections.

It's important to note that Orlando Combo is a genuine band, not a music agency or franchise. We pride ourselves on only accepting one booking at a time. Unlike some groups that take multiple bookings on the same date, we ensure personalized service by dealing directly with our band manager, allowing our clients to enjoy top-notch wedding entertainment at a fair price. Our rates start from $1500 for our Trio and go up to $3750 for our larger, deluxe options.

"Thanks Lucas - you guys were the highlight of the reception! Just fantastic!" - Vanessa West, RACV Club, Melbourne.

From smooth Jazz as your guests arrive for pre-dinner drinks to background dinner music, bridal waltzes, and upbeat dance sets, Orlando Combo brings the professionalism and experience to create a sophisticated, fun, romantic, and joyous atmosphere on your special day. We excel at transitioning from elegant Jazz to lively dance-floor Swing, Soul, Motown, and Rock & Roll classics, catering to guests of all ages. If you're seeking a group that embodies the style and sophistication of a Jazz combo while also being lively enough for your evening festivities, look no further--Orlando Combo has a reputation for being the most danceable Jazz band in the area. Just a heads up, though: we're not a typical 'Top 40' pop cover band.

"We highly recommend Orlando Combo." - Jacques Serpollier, General Manager, Sofitel Hotel Vietnam.

Our repertoire includes the swing of LOUIS ARMSTRONG, the vintage sounds of the 1920s 'GREAT GATSBY' era, standards from FRANK SINATRA, MICHAEL BUBLE, NAT KING COLE, and the 'Great American Songbook', as well as the cool vibes of MILES DAVIS and GEORGE BENSON. You can also expect old-school R&B from LOUIS JORDAN and RAY CHARLES, retro Rock & Roll party hits from CHUCK BERRY, THE BEATLES, and ELVIS, and Soul and Motown classics from VAN MORRISON, STEVIE WONDER, MARVIN GAYE, SAM COOKE, and AL GREEN.

"Hi Lucas, John and I can't thank you and the band enough for your incredible performance on Saturday night - it was fantastic! Everyone raved about the music, and we even had a conga line winding through the NGV! All our musician friends were super impressed with the band. We'll be back at The Botanical soon to enjoy more!" - Best wishes, Michelle & John, NGV, Melbourne.

From our compact acoustic Trio for elegant, instrumental background music to our Quintet with vocals that energizes the atmosphere with Swing and Soul, we specialize in creating a seamless flow from sophisticated Jazz to danceable Swing and Soul classics for all age groups.

"Amazing! We booked Orlando Combo (quartet) for our wedding at Quat Quatta, and they were FANTASTIC! Our guests were blown away by the music. They handled everything so professionally, and we wish we could relive our wedding just to hear them again. Thank you, Orlando Combo, for making our celebration unforgettable!" - Reiner and Li-Shan, Quat Quatta wedding.

Our repertoire is thoughtfully curated to match our instrumentation, as we are a 100% LIVE BAND--no backing tracks, electronics, or typical wedding band cliches here. Orlando Combo provides all the necessary equipment for our performances.

**Covid-19 Update:** We want to reassure those inquiring or booking that if current restrictions are still in place when your date arrives, events can be rescheduled without any penalties. - Lucas Evans

**NO DANCE-FLOOR? NO PROBLEM!** If your event needs to be 'Covid-safe' and dancing or singing is restricted due to social distancing, a live Jazz band is perfect. We can focus on our 'Lounge Jazz' repertoire to entertain and create ambiance without needing to resort to more upbeat dance music. We can adapt our set list on the day to meet your event's needs.
