"I doubt there is a better function band out there" - We went to see Junction 2 do one of their public appearances and knew immediately we wanted them for our wedding. They have a fantastic repertoire to appeal to all ages and are all obviously excellent musicians. The dance floor was packed all night, and the band were very flexible to fit in with our requirements and timings. I doubt there is a better function band out there; our guests could not believe how good you guys were.

"You really made our wedding day" - Just a small email to say an absolutely massive thank you for playing such wonderful sets at our wedding yesterday. We thought you were amazing - and so many of our guests have commented about how great they thought you were too. I think the crowded dance floor and wolf whistles throughout said it all! You really made our wedding day. Many thanks again, and best of best wishes. Liz and Paul (Mr and Mrs Taylor!) xx

"Brilliant! ... The mix of music was spot on" - Brilliant!  The band played at our wedding reception on August 2nd and they were amazing, I lost count of how many people said how good they were.  The mix of music was spot on - it must have been because the dance floor was full for the entire set!  Thanks again, guys. Love Sarah and Edd xx

Duke Ellington straddled the big band and bebop genres. Ellington extensively used the blues form.[124]Before World War II, the boundaries between blues and jazz were less clear. Usually jazz had harmonic structures stemming from brass bands, whereas blues had blues forms such as the 12-bar blues. However, the jump blues of the 1940s mixed both styles. After WWII, blues had a substantial influence on jazz. Bebop classics, such as Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time", used the blues form with the pentatonic scale and blue notes. Bebop marked a major shift in the role of jazz, from a popular style of music for dancing, to a "high-art," less-accessible, cerebral "musician's music". The audience for both blues and jazz split, and the border between blues and jazz became more defined. Artists straddling the boundary between jazz and blues are categorized into the jazz blues sub-genre.
