Tips for Choosing a Jazz Name

Less is more — jazz names tend to be elegant and restrained, not flashy.
If you're a combo, include the ensemble type (Trio, Quartet) — it immediately communicates what you are.
Evocative words work better than aggressive ones — think smoke, not fire.
Check the jazz festival circuit — your name should look natural on a festival poster next to established acts.
