Whether you're swing dancing or listening to the great sounds of the Big Band era, listening to a classic from one of the Jazz greats, tapping your toes to your favorite Dixieland chart, or want to do all three, the JAZZ TONES is the band for you.  The JAZZ TONES is a versatile band that is large enough to provide the big band sound, yet small enough to play anywhere.  The JAZZ TONES consists of a full rhythm section accompanied by a trumpet, trombone, and saxophone.  Just the right size for any occasion!

The JAZZ TONES' musicians have performed all over the Baltimore, DC, and Annapolis area, spreading Jazz music and having a great time wherever they play!  The JAZZ TONES' specialty is swing dance music, but the one word to describe this band is "versatile."  The JAZZ TONES' musical selections number in the hundreds:  fast swing, slow swing, ballads, waltz, Dixieland, rock and roll, cha cha, bossa nova, and even the occasional polka.
 

JAZZ TONES QUARTET

For those occasions when you need a band that is better suited for providing music and atmosphere for an elegant dinner party or reception, or you are in the market for Jazzy background music for your private party or Sunday Brunch, the JAZZ TONES QUARTET is your perfect choice. This is a quartet version of the JAZZ TONES - the great Jazz sounds with only four players.
