"Kenny Kirby [2021] - Playin' The Cracks (Selected Tracks) [Philly Fillet Records] I came across this artist via DJ Melismo's (aka Mats Olofsson) latest podcast in which he played "Someday We'll All Be Free" (and what a version!), so decided to check out the rest of the album Kenny Kirby's name may not be well known but he has been performing for over forty years with top acts such as Van Morrison, Charlie Grace, Sly & The Family Stone, Delfonics, Three Degrees, Major Harris, Billy Paul, Intruders, Blue Notes, Soul Survivors and was conductor for The Tymes. He is a piano player from Birmingham, AL, and released, what looks like, his debut album "Playin' The Cracks" in April. It is mainly covers, smooth jazz, some instrumentals and some quite MOR tunes, but three tracks did get my attention. I'm fairly sure it's not Kenny singing as some of the vocals are female. No one else is credited on the album, so I'm guessing they are unnamed guest vocalists on the vocal tracks. The three tracks are a cover of Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free", "Some Things Never Change" and "Ultimate Lover" a song written by Linda Creed and Dennis Matkosky."

"We recently hired Alex for our corporate event and he absolutely exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, Alex was professional, friendly and incredibly talented. His live sax performance added a unique and energetic vibe to the evening, seamlessly blending with his DJ sets to keep everyone entertained. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the music and atmosphere he created. If you’re looking for someone who can bring both sophistication and fun to your event, I highly recommend Alex. He’s not just a DJ or a musician, he’s a true performer who knows how to make an event memorable! Thank you Alex 😊"

"DJ Mac faced a difficult challenge at our wedding celebration: combining Belgian, English-language and Greek music. It was a challenge he handled brilliantly! He had clearly prepared very well, which you could notice in the transitions between songs, which were very well done. Even if you asked him for something during the event, it was handled quickly and without any problem. The saxophone is an original and beautiful added value and gives that little extra to the whole celebration. In the end, everyone danced enthusiastically until the early hours, which is a great compliment to the DJ!"

"Johnny “Bruno Mars” Rico delivered! He came all the way from LA to El Cajon and made my girlfriends birthday a blast! He mixed so well with our family and friends that they are still talking about it and will be for years to come! I highly suggest him. He had the look, the clothes, the mannerisms and the voice. This was such an incredible event and Johnny made it exceptional!"

"We had the incredible pleasure of having The Italian Soul & Jazz Band perform at our wedding in Florence, and they truly made the day unforgettable. The setting was a beautiful villa, and their music brought the perfect blend of elegance and energy to our celebration. Their performance was nothing short of amazing—every note was executed with passion and skill, and they seamlessly adapted to the ambiance, creating a magical atmosphere that resonated throughout the event. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band! Their soulful renditions and smooth jazz pieces had everyone captivated, from the moment they started playing during the cocktail hour until the last dance of the night. Their professionalism, talent, and warmth made them an absolute joy to work with, and they played a significant role in making our wedding day as special as it was. We highly recommend The Italian Soul & Jazz Band to anyone looking to elevate their event with exceptional music. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't be happier with our choice!"

"I had the opportunity to hire Michael Mori as a surprise guest for a client's wedding this month, and he was so wonderful to work alongside. He is kind, flexible, understanding, adaptable and professional. Weddings always have the potential to be slightly delayed in production, and we were set back about 30 minutes and he was so understanding, and communicative, it was greatly appreciated. Absolutely worth hiring him, and his MJ impersonation was so well received by all- what a fun night!"

"I am happy to confirm that you and your colleagues on the sax, bass and piano indubitably added greatly to the atmosphere of the evening. Lots of the guests commented very enthusiastically on how much they had enjoyed the music. My feeling is that you added warmth, sparkle, and a sense of celebration to the evening, and the range and style of play was perfect to modulate between grabbing peoples attention and providing harmonious background, as appropriate for the stage in the proceedings. I was also appreciative of how flexible you were about the times of taking a break so that there was always music except during the brief interlude for speeches. I was delighted to have found you through Music Students for Hire and would definitely recommend not only you and your colleagues but Music Students for Hire too."
