Lo-Fi Entertainment has been providing bands and DJs for weddings and parties for 6 years. Our client list includes Goldman, Sachs, New Line Cinema and other Fortune 500 clients. In addition to providing live swing bands for parties and weddings we also provide DJ's like Lo-Fi Lee, who has spun at the biggest New York City nightclubs like The Supper Club, China Club, Webster Hall, etc., and will provide any type of music you like — from swing to disco to 80's and beyond! Please inquire for pricing and availability at leesobel.

We book a wide number of bands, but for your swing band needs we exclusively book The Swing Doctors, which can be configured with a male singer (Frank Sinatra-style), female singer (Ella Fitzgerald-style), both, or instrumental with no singer. The band can also be hired as a trio or quartet for smaller situations.

The Swing Doctors
The Ideal Band for Weddings, Parties & More!

Originally based in Boston, MA, The Swing Doctors relocated to New York City and have attained a reputation as one of the top swing bands in the area. In the tradition of Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, the Doctors can be called “classic” swing, though their youth and energy appeal to a wide age range from 17 to 70, making them the perfect crowd-pleasing band for weddings and parties. Band leader Jesse Gelber literally plays 1000 songs from the dawn of the jazz era to swing to Sinatra to rhythm and blues, so the band can tailor their performance to your needs. They also regularly perform as a jazz trio or quartet, depending on the client's needs.

Pianist/Band Leader Jesse Gelber is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music where he majored in jazz performance and composition. He has won many awards, including a 1997 ASCAP Young Composer’s Award, and first place in the 1992 Marvin Wolff Jazz Piano Competition. Jesse is an expert in the piano styles of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, and has been performing in New York’s best vintage jazz venues such as The Red Blazer and The Cajun. Jesse plays with veterans of the Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Tommy Dorsey orchestras. Vince Giordanno and the Nighthawks. With a mean "stride" left hand, Jesse can make the piano sound like an entire big band or, in more pensive moments evoke the sophistication of Duke Ellington.
