A 3-piece for Roche Bobois' new collection presentation — sleek, design-forward modern jazz that held the room beautifully through browsing, conversation, and live filming without ever getting in the way.

A 3-piece set for the AI Summit corporate mixer — upbeat jazz classics and reimagined standards, pitched perfectly for easy conversation and a room that stays energised all evening.
There's a difference between having music at a party and having the right music at a party. A playlist keeps things ticking. A live jazz band changes the atmosphere entirely — the energy in the room shifts, guests stay longer, and the evening takes on a life of its own.
The Gallants have been that band at private parties across New York and Los Angeles. Gallery soirees at MoMA, late-night cocktail evenings at The Bowery Hotel, and intimate private celebrations in some of the most distinctive venues the city has to offer. Every event is different. The approach is always the same: read the room, play to the moment, and make it a night worth remembering.
Flexible for any format
Private parties come in all shapes. A birthday dinner for twenty in a private dining room calls for a very different setup to a 150-person celebration in a loft space. The Gallants perform as a 3, 4, 5, or 6-piece depending on your venue, guest count, and the kind of energy you want in the room. A 3-piece — guitar, upright bass, drums — keeps things intimate and conversational. Add sax, keys, and vocals and the band can carry a room and hold a dance floor.
The repertoire
The Gallants perform iconic hits reimagined with a jazz twist — from crooner standards and Sinatra-era classics to modern pop, R&B, and soul. The set is tailored to your taste and your guests. If you have requests, send them over. If you want a particular mood — lively lounge, filmic and elegant, late-night and louche — the band will build a set around it.
Venue experience
The Gallants have performed in hotel bars, private members clubs, rooftop terraces, townhouses, gallery spaces, and outdoor venues across New York City and Los Angeles. They're familiar with the practical realities of private event spaces — noise restrictions, load-in constraints, tight setup windows — and handle them without fuss. You focus on your guests. The band handles the rest.
