Roaring 20s & Gatsby Party Band in Cincinnati
Throwing a Gatsby party? The Jazz Coasters play the real thing — authentic 1920s hot jazz, Dixieland, and early swing that turns a themed event into a time machine, from the first cocktail to the last Charleston.
This is the music we live in: Roaring 20s jazz, traditional and New Orleans jazz, hot jazz, and big band swing, drawn from the songbooks of Sidney Bechet, Fletcher Henderson, Louis Armstrong, and Fats Waller. It’s the difference between a playlist in flapper costume and a band that actually sounds like 1926.
We’ve brought the era to life for prohibition-repeal parties, Mardi Gras celebrations, vintage film events, and speakeasy nights across the Cincinnati region. Add a second line parade to make an entrance nobody forgets.
Plan Your PartyFrequently Asked Questions
What makes the music authentic to the 1920s?
We play period repertoire — hot jazz, Dixieland, and early swing from artists like Sidney Bechet, Fletcher Henderson, Louis Armstrong, and Fats Waller — with the instrumentation and energy of the era, not modern arrangements dressed up.
Do you play prohibition-repeal and speakeasy events?
Yes — repeal parties, speakeasy nights, Mardi Gras celebrations, and vintage film events are all part of our regular calendar.
Can guests dance to the music?
Absolutely. This is dance music by design — Charleston, Lindy hop, and balboa all live at the tempos we play, and we keep the floor moving all night.
