Biography

The A-Train Quartet are a collective of elite jazz musicians, performing close to 300 gigs a year across the UK and beyond. Specialising in the timeless sound of golden era jazz and the Great American Songbook, their style is deeply inspired by icons such as Chet Baker, Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole.

These fabulous musicians are not only steeped in jazz tradition but also versatile performers with backgrounds across a wide range of genres including funk, soul, reggae, ska, rock, and pop. This diversity gives their performances a unique vibrancy and flexibility, enabling the group to tailor the perfect sound for every occasion. From soulful ballads to high-energy swing, their repertoire is both mind-bogglingly vast and carefully curated to suit the atmosphere of each event.

For The A-Train Quartet, music is about creating a relationship between audience and musician; a dynamic exchange of energy that makes every show unique. Whether they are playing for a wedding couple’s first dance, filling a festival tent with high-energy swing, or setting a sophisticated tone for a corporate event, they aim to spark joy, connection, and unforgettable memories through music.

The band's line-ups are highly flexible, with ensembles ranging from intimate duos to full seven-piece bands. Depending on the occasion, they feature flugelhorn, vocals (male and/or female) saxophone, trombone, guitar, piano, double bass, and drums, allowing them to adapt their sound to everything from subtle background sets to uptempo headline performances.

We asked The A-Train Quartet to play some up-tempo jazz numbers at our party to help get the evening off to a swinging start for our 80 guests. The guys did a fantastic job, creating precisely the right vibe and setting the tone for a hugely enjoyable and memorable evening. Several of our friends commented on how good the band were! Charlie was extremely friendly and professional to work with, listening closely to our brief for the evening and following it to the letter. We'd thoroughly recommend him and his band for any similar occasion!
