JJ Vinten Jazz Band - What People Say
JJ Vinten Band is a new mixture of tried and trusted, potent ingredients. Just sit back and enjoy that exciting, full sound.
Dave Gelly OBE, 2008
This vibrant new group, formed from top class professionals who have all paid their musical dues, brings a seasoned yet fresh approach to quality jazz with an eclectic choice of material.
Mike Pointon, 2008
I have listened to Jonathan Vinten with real pleasure over a number of years, playing solo, with his trio and recently with the full six piece band. Whatever the venue, ranging from the humble surroundings of the Tunbridge Wells Jazz Club to Leeds Castle, the Savoy Hotel London or the Grand at Brighton, his sheer quality as a musician stands out, as does the range of his repertoire. You need no telling that he has played with the very best in the business, yet, unlike some jazz musicians who seem to play for their own pleasure, Jonathan always sets out to entertain his audience. The standard of the trio is pressive. I have heard the “big” band only once so far but it was a joy, with a fine balance and extended solos you just had to listen to.
I don’t get to hear him and the band often enough and, with my partner and friends, make a New Year resolution to out that right.

The day couldn't have started on a more perfect note. 'Here Comes the Bride' turned into 'It Had to be You', and that traditional wedding march became fabulously cool in 8 simple beats. You turned tears to laughter, what more could a bride want!
From your sultry jazz to Coldplay's Clocks our wedding breakfast was the most tremendously atmospheric, candlelit feast. A night we will never forget! Thank you.

Jonathan, many thanks for your contribution to my daughter’s wedding reception. The blend of you on keyboard, and the saxophone were just right for the occasion. Many guests complimented us on our choice of musicians. Thanks once again.
