Having performed at many balls, society dinners, garden parties and jazz nights, the band is experienced in making everything run smoothly and ensuring that your guests have a fantastic time.

We draw on some of the most talented players from across Cambridge University who come from various subjects and backgrounds but all share a passion for jazz!

Joban Thomas - Varsity review of Wolfson Hall Gig - February 2011

Thank you so much for your performance at the CUJS Ball! The guests absolutely loved it- the reception music set a perfect atmosphere to complement the champagne and the venue, and the dinner music was enjoyed by all - especially James' lyrics!

Lauren Davidson - President - CUJS Ball 2010

I just wanted to let you know that one of the sponsors who attended the Ball was very, very impressed with Churchill Jazz, to the point where she would personally recommend it to anyone seeking such a band. It was the highlight for her and I suspect many others too, so please pass on the message to the rest of the band, and thanks for putting on a great performance!

Bavin Shah - Sponsorship Officer - Churchill Springball 2010

A slick set from Churchill Jazz Band in the beautiful College Chapel gave the evening a touch of class.
