What makes The Jetset Society special

Specific strengths at a glance.

Premium live band for special events

The Jetset Society stands for modern live music at weddings, balls, galas, corporate events, parties and festive occasions across Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland.

Full-time professional musicians with music degrees

Every musician in the band holds a music degree and works full-time as a musician, which makes The Jetset Society a full-time professional band right the way through. It shows in a dependable sound, musical flexibility, professional communication and assured handling of high-end events.

Flexible lineups of 4 to 11 musicians

Whether a smaller formation or a larger band with horns, the lineup can be adapted, musically and organisationally, to the occasion, the room and the effect you are after.

The actual lineup is put together for each event from a large pool of full-time professional musicians, to suit event type, venue, running order and the effect you want.

Custom arrangements

Every title on the repertoire list can be played live in any lineup from 4 to 11 musicians. Three-piece lineups are possible for selected jazz, lounge and dinner formats, with a suitable selection of songs put together for them. What changes with the lineup is the arrangement, tonal colour and stage impact – not whether a song can be played at all.

Harmony vocals & horn section

Harmony vocals and an optional horn section (trumpet, saxophone and trombone, for example) give the sound depth, energy and a bigger live presence, particularly at parties, balls and gala evenings. As a rule at least one of the instrumentalists sings a second part as well.

International sound with Viennese elegance

The repertoire ranges from modern party classics through soul, pop, jazz and lounge to stylish event music, delivered with a stage presence that suits high-end occasions.

Professional planning & a smooth-running event

Running order, timing, volume, dress code, technical details and communication are all prepared to fit the event, from the first conversation through to the performance itself.

The Jetset Society also advises on the lineup itself, anywhere from 4 to 11 musicians and with or without horns: the recommendation follows from event type, room size, guest numbers and the effect you want.

In depth: details & planning

Our live concept in practice

Live music with an arc to it, from first impression to dance floor.

Reception & dinner

During a stylish reception or dinner, restraint is what counts. The music creates an atmosphere without cutting across conversation or pushing itself to the front.

Programme items & transitions

Speeches, the first dance, award moments and openings all depend on good timing. The Jetset Society plans the musical transitions so the evening moves calmly and feels refined.

Party & dance floor

Later in the evening the energy can rise noticeably. Discreet accompaniment gives way to a fuller live band sound that draws guests onto the dance floor.

At The Jetset Society, reception, dinner, programme items and party are not looked at in isolation; what matters is how the evening develops musically as a whole. The right effect is the sum of a great many details.

How The Jetset Society came about

The plan came before the name.

The Jetset Society grew out of a clear plan. Thomas Gindl had spent years playing in other bands as a hired musician and had seen at close quarters what works on stage and behind it. Out of that came a precise idea of how a band ought to be organised.

So by the time the band had a name, the arrangements for every lineup were already written, the full technical setup had been bought and a large pool of full-time professional musicians was in place. The arrangements for every lineup come from Thomas Gindl, the horn arrangements included – with individual parts written out, that is, separate sheet music for every instrument. From the start, the aim was both things at once: a professional environment for the musicians, and for clients a band organised down to the last detail. That standard produced the name, the concept and the structure The Jetset Society still works with today.

A large pool of professional musicians

Fixed instrumentation in the core lineup, the right musicians for every event.

The Jetset Society’s core lineup for event formats consists of 4 musicians: keyboard, bass, drums and vocals, with a female or a male singer. Jazz, lounge and dinner lineups are an exception: here, the core lineup can consist of 3 musicians – piano, double bass and drums. The instruments in the core lineup are fixed; who plays and sings is decided for each event, with the lineup put together from a large pool of full-time professional musicians, all of whom hold music degrees.

This has several advantages for your event:

  • Because every instrument has its own written part, the musical quality stays the same even when the lineup changes.
  • For every format there are musicians who suit it – for jazz, for strings or for a horn section, for example.
  • If a musician drops out at short notice, a replacement of the same standard can usually be found quickly from the pool.

Personally led by Thomas Gindl

One point of contact, one considered concept, one standard of quality.

Thomas Gindl brings many years of stage experience, musical range and a sure feel for live situations. At weddings, corporate events, balls and galas in particular, what gets played is only half of it: how the room, the guests, the volume and the running order are handled counts just as much.

That combination of musicianship and a client-focused way of working makes The Jetset Society a strong choice for organisers who care about style, reliability and atmosphere.
