To get a rich jazzy feel, there has to be a pianist, saxophonist and bassist in your mini orchestra. If you have more budget, add percussionist (drum for a modern jazz feel or conga for an ethnic-bossa feel). Combine fast, moderate and slow tempo jazz song to set the right mood to the party.
Here are some of our favorite song that are pretty good in jazzy or bossa style:
- Just The Way You Are by Billy Joel
- Fly Me to the Moon by Bart Howard
- Fallen by Lauren Wood
- You are the Sunshine of My Life by Stevie Wonder
- The Girl from Ipanema by Astrud Gilberto
- Desafinando (Slightly Out of Tune) by Stan Getz
- Close to You by Carpenters
- Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers
- Take the 'A' Train by Duke Ellington
- In the Mood by Glenn Miller
- L.O.V.E. by Nat King Cole
If you want to hear the song just search for them in Youtube. Please feel free to add-up the list if you know more jazzy songs.
