Southern California’s premier jazz Entertainment Experience
A New Standard in Sophisticated Sound
Pop Nouveau Jazz Entertainment is a premier, full-service Jazz entertainment management company specializing in a sophisticated, cross-genre musical experience we call "Pop Nouveau Jazz."
Our mission is to create and curate memorable live jazz entertainment experiences that your clients and audiences talk about with enthusiasm after every event!
What makes our approach special is the "Recognition Factor." When an audience hears a familiar Britany Spears, Bruno Mars, or Beatles melody reimagined through a vintage 1940s lens, it creates an instant "aha!" moment. It invites the audience to lean in, sparking conversation and connection.
How We Elevate Your Event: We don’t just provide background music; we provide a curated atmosphere. Whether it’s a high-stakes corporate gala, an intimate boutique wedding, or a luxury brand launch, our ensembles are styled and coached to match the aesthetic excellence of your venue.
Bespoke Curation: From solo "Noir" pianists to full "Big Band" Pop Nouveau orchestras.
Versatile Repertoire: A library of hundreds of modern hits rearranged with syncopation, swing, and soul.
Visual Sophistication: Our performers reflect the "Nouveau" aesthetic—classic elegance with a modern edge.
By choosing Pop Nouveau Jazz, you aren't just booking a band; you are securing an immersive experience. We specialize in that "golden hour" energy—where the music is sophisticated enough for cocktails and conversation, yet infectious enough to keep guests engaged and energized throughout the night.

The Pop Nouveau Experience: Our Process
I. The Discovery Session (Introductions)
Defining the Vision: We begin with a collaborative consultation to understand the soul of your event. Whether you’re looking for a sophisticated "Speakeasy" lounge feel or a high-energy jazz-pop fusion, we dive deep into your aesthetic goals.
Curated Atmosphere: Based on your input, we suggest the perfect ensemble configuration—from intimate duos to a full high-octane big band—ensuring the musical "vibe" is a seamless extension of your event’s personality.
II. Logistics & Bespoke Quoting
Ironing Out the Details: We review the logistical framework, including venue acoustics, performance duration, and specific timeline requirements (e.g., cocktail hour vs. main stage).
Transparent Pricing: You will receive a comprehensive, custom-tailored quote that accounts for all variables, ensuring there are no surprises—just world-class entertainment planned with precision.
III. The Fine Tuning (Finalizing Details)
Last-Minute Polish: We’ll have a focused touch-base to confirm the setlist, address any specific requests, and accommodate minor adjustments to the schedule or flow.
Securing the Date: * Contract & Deposit: To provide you with total peace of mind, we will issue a formal performance agreement and request a deposit.
The "Date Hold": Once the deposit is received, your date is officially locked into our calendar, and the talent is fully committed to your event.
Final Settlement: For your convenience, the remaining balance is due on or before the day of the event, allowing you to focus entirely on your guests.
IV. The Final Synergy (7-Day Checkup)
The One-Week Countdown: Exactly seven days before the event, we touch base for a final "green light" check.
Stress-Free Execution: We confirm arrival times, load-in logistics, and onsite contacts so that when we step onto the stage, the only thing you have to do is enjoy the music.
V. The Event Day Experience
Our Professionalism: Our team arrives early for a discreet load-in and soundcheck. From our sharp, event-appropriate attire to our polished stage presence, we represent the highest standard of corporate and private entertainment.
Dynamic Flexibility: Live events are fluid, and we excel at adapting on the fly. Whether your keynote runs long or the crowd energy demands an immediate shift in tempo, we "read the room" and adjust our performance and volume to perfectly suit the moment.
Sonic Quality & Excellence: We bring studio-grade musicianship and high-end sound equipment to every venue. With world-class talent like Dan and Sam at the helm, you are guaranteed a performance characterized by virtuosic skill and crystal-clear sound quality that never overpowers the conversation.
