About

Since 1974, the 18-Piece Moonlight Jazz Orchestra has been a favorite at wedding receptions, festivals, concerts and private events throughout the stateline area. Based in Rockford, Illinois, the band also performs regularly in Chicago, Milwaukee and Madison.

With over 400 selections in their book, the band consists of 3 powerful horn sections backed up by a full rhythm section to create a sound like no other, performing everything from swing to rock-n-roll to contemporary hits. Featuring a variety of talented vocalists and musicians, this is the ultimate dance band. Directed by Kent Ecklor, the Moonlight Jazz Orchestra combines musical performance with great showmanship... and a dash of comic relief!

MJO is the whole package and you won't be disappointed in choosing them for your event!

They played for my wedding reception and were absolutely perfect! If you love jazz and the classic big band swing, these guys are one-of-a-kind and do not disappoint. Not only are they amazing musicians, but their performance style takes the entertainment to another level. Guests raved about the night and had a blast dancing - everyone young to old. They helped make a night of memories my husband and I will never forget. Thanks MJO!

This band was absolutely incredible. They made our wedding reception spectacular -- our guests couldn't stop dancing all night long! They are extraordinarily talented, fun-loving, and really worked to make our wedding reception truly unforgettable. Everyone complimented the band and many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding reception that they had ever been to! Would recommend to anyone.
