Deuces Wild Jazz Band

Deuces Wild was founded by Sergei A. Zyrianov in Los Angeles, CA. He has a degree from Berklee College of Music. The new jazz ensemble blends Sinatra-style, bebop, swing, and romantic ballads into its own unique style, a style meticulously refined to evoke the jazz clubs of New York’s 52nd Street from the 1930s to 1950s. The musicians of Deuces Wild firmly believe that live concerts are the only way to adequately convey the fascinating yet risky spirit of that era. Unlike many other jazz musicians that perform live jam sessions, the jazz artists of Deuces Wild perform authentically improvised concerts with the highest sound quality, all the while maintaining the integrity of the compositional structure and venue-appropriate dynamics. Deuces Wild has the following instruments: guitar, bass, drums, and singer. They are capable of many different combinations, ranging from solo guitar through full jazz combo. They are open to including a horn line, if specific gigs call for it. Further, they specialize in 1930s to 1950s jazz music but can perform in different but also offer recent popular music in these styles (similar to Post-Modern Jukebox). We exclusively stick to the jazz idiom and are versatile enough to entertain in any context, from small parties to large wedding receptions and corporate events. For your event, we provide a professional looking and sounding combo, peace of mind, and most importantly elegance.
