Vintage Jazz & American Songbook
Vocalist in Berkshire
1920s – 1960s Jazz, Swing & The Great American Songbook
Bringing the golden age of jazz to luxury weddings, corporate events, private members’ clubs and country house celebrations across Berkshire and the Home Counties.
The Sound of a Golden Era, Live at Your Event
There’s a reason the great songwriters and performers of the 1920s to 1960s remain the first choice at the finest weddings and events today. Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra - their music carries an elegance that no playlist, DJ or generic covers singer can replicate.
As a live jazz vocalist and singer based in Berkshire, Kitty Mazinsky performs this repertoire at luxury weddings, corporate dinners, private members clubs, five-star hotels and 1940s wartime commemorations. Every performance is tailored to your occasion, from a relaxed swing set during a drinks reception at a Surrey manor to an intimate Great Gatsby evening at a Cotswolds country house.
Give your event the atmosphere it deserves.

Every Occasion Deserves the Right Music
Luxury Wedding Entertainment
From your ceremony's opening notes to the final song of the evening, live jazz creates a warmth and sophistication that no playlist ever will. Kitty performs as a live vocalist across every part of your wedding day — ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and evening entertainment.
Country houses, manor houses and estate venues across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Hampshire and the Cotswolds are all natural homes for this music. Whether your vision is a Great Gatsby 1920s celebration, a 1940s wartime-inspired day or timeless vintage elegance, the repertoire is built entirely around you.
Luxury Hotels & Private Members’ Clubs
The intimate, sophisticated atmosphere of a private members’ club or five-star hotel is the natural home of the American Songbook. Kitty offers bespoke programmes for exclusive venues - from a single elegant evening to an ongoing residency - across Berkshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire.
Venues in Windsor, Ascot, Henley-on-Thames, Guildford and Marlow will find a repertoire and performance style that complements their setting and clientele perfectly.
Corporate & Black Tie Events
Live jazz transforms a corporate event from a function into an experience. As a live jazz singer, Kitty performs for awards ceremonies, gala dinners, product launches, film and television wrap parties, client entertainment evenings and Christmas parties across Berkshire, Surrey and the South of England.
The American Songbook works effortlessly as elegant accompaniment to a drinks reception, then builds into a captivating set as the evening takes shape. The result is an atmosphere your guests will be talking about for years.
1940s Wartime & Heritage Events
A specialist wartime swing vocalist and singer, Kitty performs at VE Day commemorations, heritage festivals, WWII themed occasions and 1940s inspired events across Berkshire, Hampshire and the wider South of England.
Vera Lynn, the Andrews Sisters, Glenn Miller, USO & ENSA classics - experience authentic, atmospheric live performance that honours the era with the care and feeling it deserves.
The American Songbook & Beyond
Four decades of the finest music ever written — the jazz standards, swing classics and romantic ballads that defined an era and continue to fill rooms with warmth and elegance today.
Ella Fitzgerald. Frank Sinatra. Billie Holiday. Nat King Cole. Doris Day. Vera Lynn. The Andrews Sisters. Louis Armstrong. These are the artists your guests know and love — performed live, with the phrasing and warmth the songs were written for.
Every set is tailored to your event: romantic ballads for a ceremony, upbeat swing for a drinks reception, sophisticated standards for a gala dinner.
