The group first formed in 1996 when the members met at the Victorian College of the Arts (University of Melbourne) whilst completing a BA in music performance. Through the experience gained from well over 2000 performances (including over 500 wedding bookings) the Combo has gone on to become one of Melbourne’s best working bands, offering professionalism, reliability and outstanding musicianship.

From our compact acoustic Trio line-up for sophisticated background music through to our Quintet for lively Swing and Soul dance material, Orlando Combo can provide the genuine live Jazz experience for your event.
From the smooth Jazz as your guests arrive for pre-dinner drinks to the background dinner music set and lively dance brackets, Orlando Combo has the experience and professionalism to create an atmosphere of sophistication and fun. We specialize in making a seamless transition from sophisticated Jazz to accessible dance floor Swing, Latin, Soul and Pop classics to appeal to a range of ages. If you are looking for a group that can supply the style and class that only a Jazz combo can provide but are concerned it may be too laid back for later in the evening, then fear not - Orlando Combo has earned a reputation for being the most danceable Jazz band in town. Please be aware though that we are certainly not a 'Top 40' style cover band.

The genre is Jazz but more specifically the sound is a special blend of Swing/Rhythm & Blues/Bossa Nova/Soul/Motown/Boogaloo and Rock & Roll. Inspiration and repertoire comes from the swing of Louis Armstrong, the big band era and the roaring Jazz of the 1920′s/’Great Gatsby’ period, the cool sounds of Miles Davis and the ‘Blue Note’ label, ‘Great American Songbook’ standards and show tunes of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Michael Buble, smooth bossa nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim, the old school Rhythm & Blues and retro Rock & Roll party starters of the 1950′s and 60′s by Ray Charles, Fats Domino, Elvis and Chuck Berry and the dance floor soul classics of Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Beatles. Our repertoire is carefully selected to suit our instrumentation as we are a 100% live band – no backing tracks, synthesizers or cheesy-tired-typical function band material.
