About Us
Captain's Cocktail parties are a traditional cruise ship greeting party to welcome new passengers on board and give them a chance to meet the captain, officers and fellow passengers. These are classy occasions and create a special ambiance by featuring live jazz in the background.
The Musicians
We feature only the finest professional musicians to create that special ambiance for your wedding reception, party or event. There are various options available from trumpet (with flugelhorn) & piano (as heard in the recordings) to larger ensembles depending on your requirements, budget and space.
Our musicians have played and recorded with artists as diverse as Aretha Franklin, Shirley Bassey, The Nelson Riddle Orchestra & Jack Jones.
The Music
We play a huge repertoire of jazz standards. We have arranged these to work with the line up of trumpet & piano playing along with specially arranged backing tracks adding bass and drums. This gives the feeling and sound of a quartet while being able to play smaller venues and stick to tighter budgets. For larger venues and budgets we can offer the same music played by a trio, quartet, quintet or even larger. This makes us fully adaptable to all situations.
The music we play creates a special, classy ambiance which helps you create wonderful memories of a special day.
We also offer music for your wedding service as part of a package. please click here to visit it page and view our wedding service music page.

What to expect
We are fully self contained, all we require is a power source and somewhere dry to perform. In the current climate of social distancing we need enough space for our musicians to comfortably do this, but with the line ups offered it is very easy to do.
We supply our own PA (public address system) which is modern and quick and easy to set up and pack down thus needing minimal time and causing minimal disruption.
