"We have had Laura at Bar 69 twice once as a Band and another time as a Duo . She has been excellent with a dynamic voice coupled with a sparkling personality and infectious smile . Goes out of her way to interact with guests and has been flexible by her song collection reading the crowd and their needs well . "

"Outstanding performance, VERY enjoyable! Highly accomplished musicians, and great guys, too. We will definitely be booking them again. You hear echoes of Joe Pass, Dizzy Gillespie, and Ron Carter."

"Mindy and her combo, made our wedding celebration unique and complete. Mindy, your vibrant rich voice is like "HOME" to me. The tasteful accompaniment layered our party with the perfect background and foreground for the event. Your fantabulous taste and style trickles down into your music. You have a flair for knowing exactly what is right and what is needed. Your jazz combo made the evening a totally memorable and romantic evening for Terry, me and my party for 100 people to celebrate our wedding. You played exactly what everyone needed and wanted to hear. Bless you two for adding to a day we will never forget. Love, Terry and Lauren Bogos Schoneberg."

"Sometimes it all just falls into place. The setting, the situation, the scene, the tone -- everything is going your way. That describes last night for me. And at the heart of this mid-week Xanadu was the Rick Holland Uptown Orchestra, a modest, brass-centric outfit led by the trumpet-blowing Holland that swung with equal parts effervescence and laid-back cool at Lovin Cup. And come to find out, five of his Hollands regular guys were sidelined, and the holes on the bandstand were plugged with subs --- hired music muscle like Po’ Boy Erik Jacobs on the slide trombone. By the time the Orchestra heaped on a helping of Count Basie, there was nowhere else I wanted to be. I dragged my mom out in the cold for this show and she was thrilled when they stomped on the Savoy. Holland led the affair with a relaxed air, coaxing more than conducting under his porkpie lid. He went around the bandstand numerous times so every cat there got his fair shake, including pianist extraordinaire Bill Dobbins. This is one sweet band, yes, yes. Frank De Blase, Roch City News "

"After a few hours checking out the Lord Mayor's show, the missus and I headed to the Hoop & Grapes in the heart of London City for an hour or two of cockney singalong courtesy of Harmonica Lewinsky. It was the first time we'd seen him holding court for a while, and I'm pleased to report he's still got it: saveloys, trotters, marrows, no bananas, you name it. Sterling stuff"

"We couldn’t be happier that we chose Maria for our wedding reception. Maria brought a magic, glamour, and old Hollywood style charm to our big day that is hard to put into words. Not only is she a hugely talented singer and saxophonist, but she also has an amazing stage presence - she added so much to our special day. From our first telephone call with her it was clear that she really cared about our vision for our big day, and her performance was beyond our wildest expectations. It was so wonderful to see our guests out on the floor enjoying Maria's performance, and two months later they are still commenting about how fabulous she was, and how much she added to their enjoyment of our day. Thank you Mara from the bottom of our hearts. Dee & Shea ❤️ xoxo"

"Review of Trilby - The liner notes inform us that this ensemble started as a swinging dance band in 2005. Since then, they've evolved into a solid, well-arranged outfit with first rate solos played by intriguing, skilled jazz cats. The feeling I derived from the CD was similar to a classic Blue Note session. You know, several well-written originals that are melodically strong, and a few standards to test the players' chops on familiar material. The co-leaders play flugelhorn and trombone, respectively. Most of the arrangements come from pianist Bill Dobbins, who allows plenty of room for free-swinging solo work. The familiar vehicles here include Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle." I also spotted a tune called "Rich's Call" by Kerry Strayer, a baritone player of the highest stripe, and a skilled composer and arranger as well. It is interesting to note three compositions from jazz harmonica whiz, Hendrik Meurkens. Perhaps he has some connection to the band. Finally, it should be said that this session is directed straight down the middle of the bop highway. Simply an outstanding blowing session on songs that, amazingly enough, sound like songs!"
