D.B. & the Hot 5 is a smaller, combo-style group made up of members of the DB Orchestra. The smaller size makes this group is ideal for more intimate settings, especially pre-wedding cocktail hours and smaller corporate functions. DB & the Hot 5 can be hired independently of or in addition to the Orchestra. Contact us with any questions, and please include that you are interested in DB & the Hot 5.

This group, with an exciting blend of refreshing takes on jazz standards, tasteful soul favorites, and bluesy reimaginings of pop hits, features something for everyone, including one of the only jazz accordion players in the area!

My wife and I hired DB & the Hot 5 for the cocktail hour at our wedding reception. We have gotten nothing but the highest compliments from friends and family about the professionalism and the vibe that the Hot 5 set. They were nothing short of amazing and beyond that it was by far our easiest contract and vendor to set up with. They provided all their own equipment, were more than competitive on pricing and set the tone for the whole event. We loved how they turned our humble outdoor summer venue into a classy speakeasy before we had even arrived and we could not recommend them highly enough to anyone.
