"Hi, to whom it may concern, Brian Reynolds is a very talented musician, he lent a lovely atmosphere to my 70th party, but he is not just a talented musician, he is a very nice guy, and very friendly. The night could not have went better. It was pleasure to meet Brian, thank you Brian for taking on the gig. Paddy Hayes."

"I own a restaurant and bar on the beach of Lake Erie called The Sandy Chanty. Adam has been gracing our stage for 20 years! He is the only artist that we have had throughout our entire history! His music should be on the radio! He is the most talented live performer I have ever seen in person! Incredibly dedicated, easy to work with and the type of person you can feel comfortable leaving the whole vibe of your venue to! Love him as a person and performer! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"We had a lucky hand when we could engage saxophonist Sebastian Lilienthal for our wedding celebration on 03.09.2021. He was just the right person for our Brazilian-German celebration with his beautiful music and large repertoire. He played for us at the wedding ceremony in the registry office, at the subsequent champagne reception outside and at the wedding dinner until late into the night. Especially his South American sounds made our hearts beat faster and contributed to an unforgettably beautiful day. Thank you Sebastian for your great musical accompaniment!"

" goldRating star Verified Review Michael H. More than we expected Bill showed up on time and altho our event was not ready for him on the beginning time we had requested, he patiently waited a while until our group was assembled, then he still gave us a bit more performing time at the original price. He was very professional. He made our group very happy with his song selections, and was able to accommodate a couple of our special requests. Great job! I would certainly use him again if I had a similar event. Hired as: Crooner "

"All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins. In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time). Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension. Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo. Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn. "

"With Mr. Lilienthal, we have already had a terrific musician for the most diverse events. Whether ball, company party or summer party outdoors. Wide range of music, super pleasant and professional cooperation. Our guests were thrilled and we are already looking forward to the next time!"

"Absolutely brilliant. These guys were from the beginning to the end. Everyone loved them playing and would have kept them longer had they not had another booking that evening. Everyone commented on how lovely and engaging they were in conversations along side the music"
