Afterglow Jazz

New York Based Classic Jazz Band

Afterglow Jazz

Afterglow is the perfect union of timeless jazz standards, the American Songbook, Golden Age swing and Bossa-Nova. Set against a backdrop of classic old-Hollywood glam, Afterglow serves up sultry vintage music to set just the right mood for your wedding, private party or corporate event. All throughout New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and even into Upstate New York, Afterglow is called upon to perform at intimate and chic rustic weddings taking place at barns, homesteads, wineries, old houses, in fields, and even on boats.

Often compared to a unique version of Postmodern Jukebox, a well known contemporary band known for reworking popular modern music into different vintage genres, especially early 20th century forms such as swing and jazz. Like Postmodern Jukebox, Afterglow is not just music. They are an achieved concept gone very right. They are a legitimate choice for entertainment, naturally and skillfully delivering a cultivated and rehearsed sound and style with personality, fun, and professionalism.

Featuring the sweet and sensuous vocals of international chanteuse and film actress Erika Smith and the vibrant, versatile and classically trained guitarist Jeff Latz, Afterglow can adapt to your specific budget, taste, and space limitations. Afterglow can be booked as a duo, trio, quartet, or up to 7 piece jazz band, depending on the needs and flavor of your event. With a vintage-inspired, 1940s look, each performance is customized to hit just the right note.

The band has an extensive repertoire but is happy to take song requests or even accompany one of your guests in an impromptu performance. Whether serving as background music or performing onstage as a visually entertaining main event, Afterglow maintains its sense of elegance, charm and class, guaranteeing a special and uniquely timeless performance for your event.

Afterglow can be booked for a length of time ranging from a Ceremony and Cocktail reception to four hours of continuous danceable music. Afterglow is based in New York City but can travel anywhere in the United States or overseas for your event.
