A big occasion deserves a big swingin' band, and B# (that's 'B Sharp' if you're new to music speak) is Melbourne's best!

This 18 piece band consists of Melbourne's highest calibre and experienced jazz and ‘session’ musicians - including those that are regular band members in various theatre productions and on TV shows.

Combined with B#’s ability to re-create the magic of the 30s, 40s and 50s swing eras, through to horn filled 60s and 70s dance anthems, you’ll be WOW-ed! Sharp by name, sharp by nature - lush sounds, slick presentation, professional standards - we make it easy for you!
Prefer a smaller band? Easy! Choose from B# 11, 7, 5 & 3 piece options.
