David Ostwald's Louis Armstrong Eternity Band

About

Over the last twenty years, we have become known as one of the premiere bands playing the great music of the classic jazz era - the 1920s - 1940s, including Gershwin, Cole Porter and the other great composers of the American Songbook. Our music sets an elegant and fun atmosphere for dancing and simple enjoyment for any event, whether it be a wedding, birthday party, corporate event or just a party for no particular reason. You can check us out at www.ostwaldjazz.com or come to Birdland in midtown Manhattan any Wednesday at 5:30pm where we are now in our twentieth year of a weekly engagement.

The most consistent and uniform audience reaction we have received over the years is that our music makes people feel good. Being able to provide this service to people in a stressful world is enormously satisfying to me and my bandmates.

    David Ostwald is easy to work with, very professional in every respect, whether playing for one of our clubs major events or at a smaller family celebration. He has played for 4 annual dinner dances of The British Schools and Universities Club and many of my familys special events. He and all the musicians of the Louis Armstrong Eternity Band are the best. We always look forward to hearing from them.

    Very accommodating about timing, where to set up band, no need for any special sound system. Very adaptable. Very friendly with the audience. A very fun experience. Hired them twice and will do it again.

    They are not only wonderful musicians playing great music that every person in the room enjoyed, but very organized and easy to deal with during planning - no artistic temperament, they just get the job done in a wonderful way.

    The quality of the music is amazing, entertaining, varied from session to session and always wonderful to listen to. My wife an I visit Birdland on Wednesday evening on average twice a month and are never let down.
    The musicians that play with the band are on a level that amazes us every time we hear them. The band varies in personnel but always plays as if they have been together forever! They represent the Louis Armstrong heritage at the highest standard.

    They have performed in my home benefit concert series for 3 years, to the great pleasure of my audience of 70-80, who DEMAND their return year after year!

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to hear about the purpose of the event and the number of guests.  From there, I tailor the nature of the music depending on a variety of factors, such as whether or not there will be dancing and preferences for particular songs.

    Our pricing system is flexible based on the size, nature and location of the event.

    Sheer desire and an enormous love of music!

    We have performed at jazz festivals, jazz clubs, weddings, birthday parties, funerals, swing dances and house parties.

    We recently played a baby shower - what stood out to me was the universal enjoyment of the guests of all ages and generations.  It proved to me that my band stands out as being capable of pleasing people across all boundaries.

    Bear in mind that music makes an event more than anything else.  Guests will remember the music more than the food or even the venue.
