"Amazing Jazz Trio We had the pleasure of having Black Thursday play at our company party and we couldn't be happier. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ambiance they created with their skill and thoughtful selection of both classics and modern jazz. Our Founder / CEO even asked them to play an additional 3 hours! And I personally enjoyed working with them. They are professional, communicative and easy to work with. Thank you for agreeing to play even longer to make our event more lively and elegant! You were a highlight of our party."
