Full Biography
Inspired by the Golden Age of Jazz the Italian – American vocalist Jessica gives shape to The VelveTones project at the very beginning of 2017.
The 5 piece band pays homage to the Ladies of Jazz revisiting the Great American Songbook and tunes made famous by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Julie London to mention a few providing an approach at once refreshing and faithful to the original style of the Era.
The very spirit of the Golden Age of Jazz is brought back to life through tunes and costumes celebrating all Jazz from the Roaring 20s to the Post WWII with manouche influences; blues contaminations and quotes to the Italian and Mediterranian melodies for a show engaging and enthralling.

They were the icing on the cake
Helene P booked The Tones Jazz and Swing Band for their event in Surrey
“Absolutely fantastic, they were totally in keeping with our centenary 100 event. Thank you so much and would highly recommend.”
Lisa S booked The Tones Jazz and Swing Band for their event
“Hi Jessica, Your sets were excellent and well received yesterday. You are a beautiful (voice) singer and the feedback received was very positive. Thanks for attending our event. I will definitely consider you again for future events. Thanks again, Lisa ”
Yvonne C booked The Tones Jazz and Swing Band for their event
“Dear Jess, Thank you from me and Mat!!! You and your band have been absolutely fantastic - we really enjoyed having you sing and play so beautifully and for being so flexible with timing. EVERYONE loved you and the band - they all said you have the most fabulous/ stunning voice and presence. The "EVERYONE" includes all the chefs (they were boogying whilst getting the meal out), the floor staff, and my neighbours who were still working in the garden and didn't quite make over to dinner. Thank you also for singing the 2 songs I requested - my brother (the one who led the speeches) was very touched as they were for him and thought you sang them beautifully! We will certainly be in touch again when we entertain with live music again! With very best wishes to you and all your band members Yvonne & Mat ”

Fabulous Non stop & up-tempo swing from across the ages
Ann T booked The Tones Jazz and Swing Band for their event
“Fabulous night on Tuesday! Non stop & up-tempo swing from across the ages. Singer Jessica De Giudici went from strength to strength and Giulio Romano was a delight on guitar. Three Italians & two Brits made for a really entertaining evening. They will be back. (Annie's Jazz - Jazz & Blues Club)”
