Jazz Kings is a jazz band for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Formed in 2017, though every member had decades of professional work behind them before that. Nicole Parker Brown and The Jazz Kings released their first CD, Out of Nowhere, in December 2020, and it has had airplay on radio nationally and overseas. Jazz is the home ground, from trad through to modern, though swing, blues, rockabilly and country all turn up too, and the set gets built around what a particular venue and crowd are after. Hire them as a five piece with trumpet and vocals, guitar, keys, bass and drums, as a six piece with Nicole, or as a seven piece once percussion is added. They can bring their own sound and lighting for rooms of up to 400.

The Jazz Kings are capable of conjuring the grit of the blues, the swing attitude of the big band era and the ache of ’60s soul.
