Reviews of 1930s Era Musicians & Bands available in Toronto

5/5 from 465 reviews
Photo of Euro Café Duo Euro Café Duo "Thank you Euro Café Duo! Your romantic and charming jazzy Parisian and Italian inspired music really set the stage for our Soirée Salus event, held recently at the French Embassy in Ottawa. Andrea’s vocals were beautiful and together your collaboration filled the room with such a warm and inviting ambiance. We really can’t say enough how much your music was such a hit with Salus organizers and all our guests in attendance. Thank you again!" Based in Kingston, Ontario (150 miles from Toronto) 11th December 2025 Andrea O-B - SoirĂ©e Salus Photo of Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop "A wonderful experience with Jay. He was so responsive when we first contacted him about our event in Stonington CT (a birthday party for my mother with approx. 40 guests at the La Grua Center), and his repertoire spanned all of the types of music were were looking for (jazz, classical, some show tunes). His playing was just so lovely at the event. A pleasure to meet him and have him join this event. My mother was so thrilled and it made her birthday very special. Many thanks to Jay. Highest recommendation." Based in Manhattan, New York, United States (344 miles from Toronto) 31st March 2026 Wendy Waszmer - Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Piano (Jay Noble) Photo of Gary Strickland Gary Strickland "Gary has done a few events for me as I am a club advisor to students in college. I would say he is all about performing arts, except for the fact that he is just as good with customer service, and interactions on a business level! If he says he'll do something, he follows through with absolute professionalism. Mr. Strickland has been a solo performer on the trumpet, a singer, an EMCEE, a set designer , a professional photographer and crowd pleaser. Should anything unexpected happen, he has the experience and sharp reactions to handle a burgeoning situation without a hitch. I wish I had the time to simply listen to Gary perform outside of the venues for which I have hired him.

I've never signed anything like this before." Based in Naples, Florida, United States (1,220 miles from Toronto) 25th August 2026 Jason Miles Photo of Jazz Hutch & Friends Jazz Hutch & Friends "A nice voice and a very understated and carefree delivery. Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song." Based in Calgary, Alberta (1,682 miles from Toronto) 12th October 2026 Kurt Elling - Acclaimed International Jazz Singer Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!"
