"Sol Chango played at our wedding and made such beautiful music. We asked them to play instrumentally after the ceremony and it was just magical. They added a singer for their performance after the wedding dinner and they really got the crowd going. They were lovely to deal with and played such a great repertoire of timeless music. We loved having them! "

"We had Michael and the Jelly Roll Jazz band play at our black tie wedding. It was the perfect balance of fun and sophistication. They even went to the extra effort of donning some lovely tuxedos. All the band were absolute gents and would highly recommend!"

"Small thumbnail image for reviewer Tami S. Tami S. June 5, 2026 Verified review Wonderful! Frank came out to our event and played for 3 hours- entertaining our guests and residents and even taking requests! He strolled our hallways and outdoor spaces and entertained everyone. The music was the perfect level, my initial concern when booking was that it may be too loud, but it was absolutely perfect! Hired as: Accordion Player"

"TRILBY Scott Yanow, author of ten books including The Jazz Singers, Trumpet Kings, Jazz On Film and Jazz On Record 1917-76 The Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band, which is based in Rochester, New York, was founded in 2005. Co-led by flugelhornist Holland and trombonist Dobbins, the 11 piece group has the sound of a big band despite having eight instead of the usual 11 or 12 horns. Its musicianship is top-notch, soloists are impeccable, and arrangements are both colorful and swinging. The 11 songs heard on Trilby consist of four standards, three originals by harmonica great Hendrik Meurkens, and a song apiece by Kerry Strayer, Hal Crook, Brent Wallarab and pianist Bill Dobbins. The father of Evan Dobbins, Bill Dobbins is the best known musician in the band, contributed six of the arrangements, and is a key soloist on five songs. But enough of the statistics. The Little Big Band swings hard and puts plenty of spirit into each performance. The opener, Benny Golson's “Stablemates,” has fine solos from Holland and the Phil Woods-inspired altoist Doug Stone, with the two battling it out near the tune's finish. Meurkens' “Slidin'” has an arrangement by Bill Dobbins that in its use of restrained tone colors is worthy of Thad Jones. A heated jam on “The Eternal Triangle” gives Holland and tenor-saxophonist Mike Pendowski an opportunity to jam, trade-off and interact with each other. Holland, Doug Stone (this time on clarinet) and trombonist Nick Finzer play lyrically on the melodic “Second Waltz.” David Baron's bass is featured prominently on “The Cottage,” a haunting tune particularly worthy of several listens. “Trilby,” a lengthy exploration of the chord structure of “Alone Together,” has some excellent hard bop flugelhorn from Holland, adventurous soprano from Stone and a memorable spot for Bill Dobbins' piano. Trombonist Dobbins, Pendowski and drummer Rich Thompson are not only well featured on “Fused” but at one point they play as a pianoless bassless trio. Rick Holland is heard at his best on the ballad “My Darling Darlene” and a jazz waltz version of “While We're Young.” David Baron is naturally in the spotlight during bassist Oscar Pettiford's “Tricotism” (along with Nick Finzer and Bill Dobbins) before Trilby closes with its most intense performance on “Rich's Call.” Throughout Trilby, the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band plays on the level of most better-known ensembles, performing music that is inventive, full of life and fun. Their CD is highly recommended."

"On July 19, 2025, we were blessed by "Aaron on Sax" at the Jacaranda Country Club in Plantation, Florida. Aaron drove from Tallahassee, Florida to South Florida in order to perform for our father's 90th birthday celebration. Aaron is affordable, professional, willing to travel, easy to work with and has been blessed by God with a talent for playing various saxophones. Aaron's performance was truly phenomenal. He performed from 11 AM - 3 PM with minimal breaks. Our father and guests' enjoyed him and the wide selection of music immensely. Looking forward to hiring Aaron for future events and sharing his name with anyone who is searching for a saxophonist who plays the entire event. Aaron, We pray God continues to bless you with health and strength to continue serving as a saxophonist. Sonya and Darryl Long "

"Jazz and the Tonics came and performed at Leith's at Beaulieu for a corporate event on the 28th July 2018. They were professional and friendly to deal with and not only that but were AMAZING performers. Emily's voice is just out of this world with everyone complementing her. I would 100% recommend Jazz & The Tonics to other corporates or wedding parties."
