About
Natalie Claire is a jazz band for hire in Engadine, NSW.
Sydney jazz built around a singer. Natalie fronts every version of this band, from a duo with keyboard up through a trio with upright bass, a quartet with drums, and a 5 piece that adds sax. The set leans on the standards and classics, and they enjoy turning modern hits into something jazzier, the kind of sound that suits a room wanting class without volume. That makes them an easy fit for corporate functions, wedding receptions and vintage or Gatsby-themed parties. A practical bonus: they bring their own PA, you're welcome to use it for speeches, and once the band finishes you can plug your own playlist into it instead of hiring a DJ.
Watch
On the day
You're welcome to use their PA for speeches and announcements, so there's no separate microphone to organise. It stays available after they've finished playing too. Plug in your own music and let it run instead of paying for a DJ to cover the last stretch of the night.
Performance options
Four sizes, all built around Natalie's vocals. The duo pairs her with keyboard. Add an upright bass and it becomes a trio. Drums make it a quartet. And the five piece brings in a sax on top of that. Same singer, same songbook, more or less body in the sound depending on the room you're filling.

"Hello Natalie......thank you for your performance at Monica and Krszysztof's wedding. I appreciated your punctuality and your sensitivity towards my requests on the day. The band was excellent and the feedback from the guests was very positive. The performance particularly at the reception was pleasing as it did not disturb the flow of conversation yet was loud enough to be appreciated. Dealing with you prior to the wedding was easy and I appreciated your understanding of my needs especially as I was working on behalf of the bride." Thanks Mira Narel, Dunbar House, Watson's Bay
