About

The Third Coast Jazz Band is an ensemble based in the San Diego, California region that has been performing consistently since 2003. We perform almost exclusively for weddings and private events and specialize in all styles of jazz for events of any size. We can provide a wide range of instruments and options from soloists up to a 9-piece mini big band (i.e. solo guitar). However, jazz is just the beginning for this group and we also provide Motown, disco, rock, blues and funk genres in addition to traditional ceremony selections and themed performances (i.e. rat pack, 20s era, etc.). Our versatility allows our clients to choose one band to cover all phases of their event. As one of the msot referred groups in the region, we are attentive to the finer details of the event so that our services fit seamlessly into the larger picture to create a top notch event.

Amazing Talent!

Jon and the band were amazing! Definitely elevated the night and kicked off the wedding celebration in the best way. Jon was very professional and responsive. The lead singer Rebecca Jade was truly a gem! We had a safe COVID wedding and we feel so lucky that Third Coast Jazz Band was able to be a part of it. They even performed our songs for the ceremony and first dance to make it extra special! Amazing talent and affordable pricing. I would most definitely recommend.

We are so happy we hired them for our wedding! Third Coast Jazz did an amazing job. They set the right tone for every session of the wedding - ceremony, first dance and the following open dance. Everyone had a blast and kept asking where we found this amazing band! Jon has been very responsive and thorough during the whole wedding planning process and offered great suggestions for song list and time line. He's also able to create a plan that fits our budget! The singer Whitney is so good and nailed every single song. We cannot possibly find a better band for our "Jazz night by the sea" wedding celebration. Big thanks to Jon and his crew! Highly recommend!!! They are the best.

I can not say enough about Jon and TCJ! Jon played at my fathers 60th birthday party last year and I immediately know that he would be great for our outdoor wedding. The whole band arrived promptly, prepared and ready for a great night! Everyone danced and had a great time. My whole family definitely recommends Third Coast Jazz Band!

We had Jon Walters and Third Coast Jazz play at our dinner and reception. The music was first rate, his prices are fantastic and he was very helpful and responsive. We couldn't have been more pleased, and we've received many comments on the music. Highly recommended.

We had Jon Walters play for our ceremony and reception. He was the perfect addition to our wedding. His style was relaxed, calm and easy going. He came prepared and on time. He transitioned from the ceremony site to the reception site with little interruption. Everyone enjoyed his music and even sang a few songs at the dinner table!
His rates are excellent and he was very flexible with our finances.
