"On a sunny day in July we had the wedding of our dreams in the garden of our family home. The day was made even more magical by the sublime music, played with unobtrusive charm by Kieran. His guitar playing was wonderful. As one guest said, “I didn’t even get to the entry of the bride, I started crying for the beauty of the music!” We will always be grateful that he was a part of our day and he will probably never know what an important part he played.

"Rory headlined the annual Painswick Feast Festival 2023. He created a lovely ambience with beautiful Bossa Nova arrangements complemented with saxophones, flute, and vocals in both Portuguese and English, bringing the sunshine out of all who attended. Many visitors and locals stopped, listened, and picnicked to the music of Rory. Weeks later, and he is still being talked about! Rory was a huge success and already booked again for 2024 through public demand."

"Ricardo Steyer was great. I'm glad I went with him for this event. He was very professional, new the task at hand, and executed. He did a great job of learning the song and tailoring it to the event. It made the turning point of the surprise calling her name out, which made for a great photo moment. I'd definitely use him again in any event. "

"We hired Ana’s jazz band for the cocktail hour after our wedding ceremony, and they were absolutely fantastic. They are incredibly talented and truly amazing at what they do. We loved their sound, style, and authenticity, they created the perfect atmosphere for our cocktail hour and would also be amazing for anything else. Our guests really enjoyed the music, and it added such a special touch to the day. We would highly recommend hiring Ana’s jazz band for any wedding or special event, as they are truly exceptional."

" The Fanci Duo played at our wedding day two at Waterford Castle in July 2023. They were very easy to book and communication was prompt and proactive leading up to the booking. They did a great job of playing lovely acoustic music which created a fab atmosphere for a more relaxed vibe we were after. They were also lovely to interact with on the day and were happy to take requests. They played a long set for us; we were really happy with our choice. "

"The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art have used free outdoor jazz programs to draw the public to their facilities, but representatives of the museums say that this summer sparked a banner year in terms of attendance. “It was incredible,” said Dorrance Stalvey, director of music programs at LACMA. “We had upward of 2,000 people at some shows.” The museum--in its fourth year of offering jazz on a weekly basis-presented such artists as Horace Tapscott, Dr. Art Davis and Cecilia Coleman at its Friday evening shows, and big bands led by Bill Berry, Gerald Wilson and Bill Holman on Sunday afternoon programs. “This program was by far the most successful we’ve had,” said Dawn Setzer, spokesperson for MOCA. “We averaged about 1,500 people a show,” a figure up considerably from previous years’ events. Setzer said the primary reason for the increased turnout was the high-profile strictly-jazz lineup, presented on 11 consecutive Thursdays, that included Charles McPherson, Billy Higgins and Teddy Edwards. LACMA continues its Friday evening shows throughout the year, currently spotlighting a retrospective of bands that have played there, plus new acts. ‘Trane Time: The annual John Coltrane Festival takes place tonight at 8 at the World Stage, 4344 Degnan Blvd. in Leimert Park. On tap will be Ravi Coltrane, Dr. Art Davis’ estimable quintet with Doug Webb and Phil Vieux, and others. Information: (213) 293-2451. Davis will also appear at a benefit for Better Advantages for Students and Society (BASS), which awards a scholarship in his name. The event takes place on Sunday, 4 to 7 P.M., at Diva, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa."
