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!"

The D Train Jazz Band
"The D Train Jazz group provided a wonderful evening of entertainment performing all the classics of the Great American Songbook. They were very professional in their approach and made themselves available to mingle with everyone during their breaks. The quality of the music was top notch and they even took a few request on songs that were not in their regular song list and did a GREAT job with it. I would highly recommend this group for your entertainment pleasure."
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."

The Anthony S Experience
"Anthony and Jasmine was great to work with. They were on time and flexible once a torrential downpour came and we had to adjust the run of show some. They were even kind enough to let my strolling violinist use their gear when hers started acting up. I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we are back in Atlanta!"
