Nova Jazz Band

Nova Jazz Band recently played for a private event on board the USS Potomac in Jack London Square. The set up was fast and easy, the band members were very respectful of the historic qualities of the ship, and the guests on board absolutely loved the music. I would definitely recommend them !

When you think of perfection, you think of Nova Jazz Band! We recently had Daniel and the band play during our wedding reception at the Brazilian Room, from start to finish they were amazing. Daniel was great constantly communicating throughout the months leading up to our big day.
On the day of the wedding we had the quartet, sax, guitar, bass, and drums, they helped set the mood and people loved every single minute of it. I still have people rave about the music. Daniel you guys rocked!!! If anyone is looking for a jazz band in the bay area, Daniel is the guy you are looking for!!!

These guys smoked it! Great command of the standards and kept the volume down when necessary. Very well done, and I’d definitely hire them again!

Daniel and his trio performed at the ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding last month. This was just perfect, and exactly as expected. Daniel was very responsive in the preparation and very flexible to accommodate the details of our event. 2 hours was really too short!

Nova Jazz Band is amazing! When I was looking for a Jazz band to play at my wedding reception, they popped up. I contacted the main musician, Daniel, via email. He was very professional and made sure everything would run smoothly on the day of our event (since he was not going to make it).
For our reception, we requested a Trio plus a vocalist. They contacted me two hours prior to the event to notify me that they were on their way and the approximate time that they would be arriving.
When they arrived, they knew how to set up, and used the event center’s sound system. As the bride, I assumed everything was going well because as soon as it was time for them to play music, they played! They were amazing! They added the elegance factor to the whole event. I had friends and families asking about them because of how beautiful they performed that night.
Their level of professionalism throughout this whole entire process was stunning. They helped make our reception perfect and memorable that night :).
Thank you so much Daniel and The Nova Jazz band!

Daniel from the Nova Jazz Band is amazing! He was on time, well-​dressed and sounded wonderful. I was very impressed with his level of professionalism and I would recommend him to anybody interested in a top-​quality Saxophone player.

Fantastic music, well-​dressed musicians, amazing vibe. We hired the group for a grand opening event in Pacific Heights, SF — it was lovely and in many thanks to Nova Jazz. Daniel was a great pleasure to work with as well — very responsive and took extra steps to visit our site prior and discuss set lists with me. I would definitely hire Daniel and Nova Jazz again.

We had Nova Jazz Band for a client’s holiday party this past December. They were wonderful, the music was beautiful and the musicians were extremely professional. I look forward to working with Daniel and the team again soon. I would highly recommend them for your next event! — AG. MatrixFillmore Event Manager

We booked Nova Jazz for our holiday party at our office. They were great! We have a historic office building in Downtown Redwood City and hosted the party in our lobby. We were unsure how the band would actually sound in the lobby, but they did a fantastic job at keeping the tone and volume of the music just right! Everyone was very pleased with the music during the party. I definitely recommend Nova Jazz to anyone looking to spice up their party with a little jazz music! Thank you Daniel and the Nova crew! We definitely look forward to using you guys again in the future! :)

I worked with Daniel and the Nova Jazz Band on a wedding this last year and they are wonderful. Not only are they amazing performers, they are very nice people and easy to work with. Daniel is very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed prior to the event and they were very accommodating on the day of. Thank you for making the event such a success!

We hired Nova Jazz for our company Holiday Party last Friday. They are amazing musicians and made the atmosphere at the party very special and memorable. They played the perfect style of music for the event (a Bond themed party) and at a volume that was just right. Daniel was very easy and professional to work with. I just wish we had hired them for longer than the 2 hours we did. I hope I get the opportunity to book them again for something else.

We had Nova Jazz Band in our private events space this past weekend. Man. were we blown away! They really know how to feel out a crowd and keep the vibe up! I couldn’t believe that they were playing live as the sound and synchronicity were so on point throughout the whole set. This is a very fun, yet, sophisticated choice for any occasion and we look forward to having them in our space again very soon.
Thanks guys!

Daniel and his band were awesome! The song list they provided was simply perfect and their vocalist was amazing, she has such a beautiful voice. Our guests were really impressed with everything.

Daniel and the Nova Jazz Band are about as good as it gets.
I’m a former professional jazz musician lucky enough to have played with Natalie Cole, Huey Lewis, Tower of Power, Artie Shaw, Wynton Marsalis and others, so when I planned the entertainment for my recent wedding in Napa, it was really important that I had the very best in live music. The talented Nova Jazz Band was all that and more.
Daniel was a treat to work with– professional and very accommodating, even when our start time had to shift a few days before the wedding.
Choosing them to be a part of our wedding was one of the best decisions we made– I can’t imagine a better group to work with.

We hired Daniel and Nova Jazz for my husband’s 50^th birthday celebration in Napa.
They were terrific! Very professional and personable. They were perfect for our occasion. Everyone enjoyed their music. We highly recommend this talented group!

I was recently photographing a wedding in Berkley and to my delight I meet the Nova Jazz Band. These guys were great! Super professional, prompt, great personalities and wonderful to work with. One quality that really stood out to me about the band was what a great job they did of reading what the crowd wanted. They were very polished and kept the volume of the music at the perfect level.
I will definitely recommend these talented folks to anyone looking for a live band with a timeless feel. They kept the mood perfect. I hope we work together again soon.

As a professional wedding and event planner, I work with many bands. Some sound great but are tough to work with, some are responsive but not well-​rehearsed, and you hope for the best. On occasion, a band stands out as polished musicians and professionals, and then they become the band to keep at the top of the recommendation list. Nova Jazz is that band.
Daniel and Nova Jazz were a delight to have at a recent wedding. They were punctual, professional, and easy to work with. They had no problem with pausing their set for an impromptu toast, and were easygoing and appreciative about meal breaks. They adapted to the outdoor reception setting easily, and I felt absolutely comfortable leaving them to play. They did not need a long explanation about what to do, or have a list of surprise requirements. Rather, they arrived prepared, played beautifully for the reception, and did not need any hand holding.
Their sound is tight and harmonious, and the jazz they played was classy, fun, recognizable, mellifluous, unobtrusive, and exactly what the couple wanted.
If you are looking for a great combo for your next event, I highly recommend that you contact Nova Jazz Band!

We saw Nova Jazz band at Café Claude and I was taken aback by how good they were. As a fellow musician, I can honestly say that these guys were on another level — it was much richer music than I was expecting to find at dinner. They were playing familiar tunes, and playing them in appealing ways, but still finding really interesting things to say while playing them. My conversation probably suffered.
It’s not everyday that I sign in to review a band on Unilocal,but I’d love to see them again — perferably at a place where I can focus on the music.

What a great and contemporary band! Very friendly, easy set up and very professional. As a vendor coordinator we have booked them for our member holiday party. Their music was fabulous and our members enjoyed it! Highly recommend for you next function, wedding or holiday party!
Daniel is amazing to work with!

I hired the Nova Jazz Band for two separate events.
The first was for a small intimate wedding where they played the cocktail hour and evening entertainment. I was impressed with the professionalism and courtesy provided to guests as well as the volume of the music. Not too loud! :) I also was impressed with their repertoire and music selection.
I also hired them for a larger corporate event which was about 200 people. They were on time, prepared and equally professional. They had people dancing, and were played a great variety of tunes appropriate for this event.
I would hire them again in a minute because they are reliable, easy to deal with and able to adjust their music according to the type of event. Their rates are also very reasonable!
