Harbor Jazz Ensemble

Let us complement your event with jazz!

​​​Harbor Jazz Ensemble is a collective of experienced jazz musicians who love what they do, and are dedicated to bringing excellence to their clients in the unique language of jazz!


We provide entertainment for a variety of occasions; background music for dining, lively improvisational jazz for cocktail hours and socializing, swing tunes for dancing and romancing.


Our typical HJE Quartet features a horn player backed by a rhythm section of guitar or piano, bass guitar and drums.  Additionally we have wonderful vocalists, each binging their individual style to the band's presentation.


When a larger band presence is required, HJE adds more rhythm players and up to 4 additional horns, to create "The Little Band with a Big Band Sound!"


HJE's repertoire includes jazz standards, swing tunes of the big band era, well-known melodies from the Great American Songbook, and jazz versions of popular songs.  Many of our musicians are former or current members of big bands, concert bands, and/or studio bands.


Let's discuss how Harbor Jazz Ensemble can enhance your party or professional gathering with a jazz performance catered to you!



We invite listeners and dancers of all ages to share our love of this historic American music, always expressing creativity and swingin' good times!
