"With all the hype going to Wynton Marsalis, you might not guess that there are other, lesser-known, straight-ahead trumpet players out there who are consistently ripping the hide off the ball. This, Rick Holland's auspicious debut, is an impressive effort. The trumpeter leads his quartet, backed by a solid Michigan-based rhythm section: pianist Terry Lower, bassist Ed Fedewwa, and drummer Larry Ochiltree, through a fiery trail of originals and standards, interspersed with some fine balladry. Holland's sensitive ear translates to some tight arrangements and a well-organized program. On flugelhorn, he boasts a rich, full tone that purrs with warmth. On the faster tunes, he steams. This is the kind of jazz that feels just right on a wintry day, with the fireplace in full throttle, and the feet resting on a cushion: it hits the spot perfectly, drenched with emotional power and skillful fortitude.

"Finding a band for a wedding can be tricky. We decided very early on that we wanted a live jazz act at our wedding reception, but we also knew that we didn't want a stereotypical 'wedding band', or a band that just did jazzy versions of pop songs. Fortunately for us, we came across On The Rocks: a group of quality jazz musicians willing to play a few weddings, rather than a wedding band that play a bit of jazz. Led by Jacky Naylor, they were genuinely, effortlessly brilliant. Cool, classy, chic, while also being fun and friendly... and just really damn good. They played with a singer at our request, Helena Debono, who was perfect: smoky, rich vocals and great stage presence. Jacky was really easy to work with throughout on everything practical, responding quickly to emails, letting us plug into the band's sound system when needed, being flexible on repertoire but also offering helpful advice and being happy to follow the feel of the room. Highly recommended, and I'd book them again in a heartbeat (for pretty much any kind of event)."

Her skillful and emotive performance added a unique and elegant touch to the atmosphere, creating a memorable experience for everyone present. The choice of music was impeccable, seamlessly blending with the ambiance, and eliciting positive comments from our guests throughout the evening. If you're looking for a talented saxophonist to enhance your event, this performer comes highly recommended for her ability to set the perfect tone and leave a lasting impression."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jerry Miles as a guitarist for my 40th birthday celebration at my house, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with his performance. Jerry's exceptional talent and professionalism truly made my event a memorable and enjoyable experience. One of the standout moments for me was when Jerry went above and beyond by learning a song that I specifically requested. It meant a lot to me, and I was absolutely thrilled when he flawlessly performed it during the event. I have no problem recommending Jerry for any event Tom, Deleek."

"I have seen Geoff a number of times at the pub and at different functions and events around Geraldton. Live music takes any venue and gathering to another level. Geoff always delivers great entertainment. His song book is vast and he can please any audience age and stage. He accommodates requests with ease. He provides easy listening tunes or he can crank it up for a full on dance party. Susan"

"Hired Zeke to bring some energy and excitement to our annual awards dinner. We have never had a magician or MC before, and we will from now on! Zeke KNOCKED IT OUT THE PARK! He arrived early, kept things moving, presented a mind reading show that I have no explanation as to how he did what he did, and he is HILARIOUS! Already bringing him back next year! Highest recommendation!"
