"We booked Jeff to play during cocktail hour at our wedding and sing our song for our first dance. Jeff learned this song just for us. I wish I could give him 10 stars because he did better than we could have imagined and made this very special song even more special in that moment. We will forever be grateful and happy with our decision to have him sing "our" song. Jeff also adjusted so well with a slightly longer than planned cocktail hour due to our pictures taking a little longer than we expected. Our guests absolutely loved him! He was very professional, fun, and easy to work with. We cannot recommend him enough!! Thank you so much again Jeff!"

"Wow! James ”Jukebox” was outstanding ! He really was a professional, engaging and talented musician who even went the extra mile and dressed up in ski clothes and goggles! Every single person remarked in his skills, playlist and energy, could not have “chosen” a better man for this gig and would HIGHER than highly recommend x"

We went to a restaurant just off Sixth Avenue and wound up talking from 2:30 pm until 8:00 pm. All those hours we talked about the saxophone, about music, and how this must-cian from Seattle was faring in the Apple.

It's at once bold and incisive, spirited and alarming. Booker 1. is daring enough to bring together in his own compositions things that are usually kept separate - jazz and religious music. It makes for a spritely, fun sound. The listener will be moved by the intensity, range and absolute beauty of the entire delivery. But caution: do not trust the titles, expect a surprise.. As music brings the warmth and light of beauty into our lives, this recording will warm our hearts and spirits. Through this light, perhaps we will see a little more of ourselves. Possibly, we will come to understand a bit more of each other. Either way, it is a wonderful gift. Booker 1. is a colossal talent! Gregg Gordon "

"I must be honest I had never been involved in finding and/or booking a band for an event, so this was a first for me - and it was my dad's 60th so I really wanted something special. Joubert and his wife (who seemed to be in charge of the Sound Engineering side of things) were very accommodating and there were little-no issues. The sound quality was great - his voice is great - and no request seemed too much to ask (they did everything with a smile on their faces). We tried to give as many song requests to them at least a week before the time as possible - and they seemed very appreciative of that. They did go the extra mile in the sense that the party actually only seemed to kick off when they were supposed to wind things up - but they volunteered to stay for longer just before my dad asked me if they could, and so they did. The event turned out to be a big success and I wanted to thank Joubert and Juanita for the vibe they injected into a special day for us as a family. Dankie julle"

"Just the best! 100% one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to hire Seps' Saxophone Experience. He was super responsive and really great at communicating everything and making sure we got the songs we wanted played. Getting a saxophonist really added so much to our cocktail hour and it was just a wonderful vibe to have him there. You can tell he has so much passion in his music and he is soooo talented. If you’re on the fence, I say go for it!! I cannot recommend Seps enough."

" Incredibly beautiful vocals and talented pianist! Gal did an incredible job performing at my corporate client's private reception and dinner. In addition to having a beautiful singing voice and mastering the piano, she was extremely professional to work with. She is a great communicator, is reliable and followed through on every detail. We definitely made the right decision hiring Gal and hope to bring her onboard for future events!"
