"The Feel of Neil" #1 Neil Diamond Tribute
"“From the very first song, he captured the spirit, sound, and heart of Neil Diamond in a way that felt both authentic and deeply personal. His voice was spot-on, the song selection was perfect, and his connection with the audience made everyone feel included—whether they were lifelong Neil Diamond fans or just there to celebrate. He had guests singing along, smiling, and reminiscing all night long, which made our event truly unforgettable.” ---Bonnie P. event coordinator"

"American Jazz Company did a great job at our fundraising Gala. Dan was very easy to work with and accommodating on our timeline at the event. The communication leading up to the event for planning and reviewing the set list was great. They checked with us and were willing to modify and make recommendations with a large portfolio to create a set list geared towards our guests. Everything was on time and in order which made coordination easy."

A Hue of Blue
"The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art have used free outdoor jazz programs to draw the public to their facilities, but representatives of the museums say that this summer sparked a banner year in terms of attendance.
“It was incredible,” said Dorrance Stalvey, director of music programs at LACMA. “We had upward of 2,000 people at some shows.” The museum--in its fourth year of offering jazz on a weekly basis-presented such artists as Horace Tapscott, Dr. Art Davis and Cecilia Coleman at its Friday evening shows, and big bands led by Bill Berry, Gerald Wilson and Bill Holman on Sunday afternoon programs.
“This program was by far the most successful we’ve had,” said Dawn Setzer, spokesperson for MOCA. “We averaged about 1,500 people a show,” a figure up considerably from previous years’ events.
Setzer said the primary reason for the increased turnout was the high-profile strictly-jazz lineup, presented on 11 consecutive Thursdays, that included Charles McPherson, Billy Higgins and Teddy Edwards.
LACMA continues its Friday evening shows throughout the year, currently spotlighting a retrospective of bands that have played there, plus new acts.
‘Trane Time: The annual John Coltrane Festival takes place tonight at 8 at the World Stage, 4344 Degnan Blvd. in Leimert Park. On tap will be Ravi

Davis will also appear at a benefit for Better Advantages for Students and Society (BASS), which awards a scholarship in his name. The event takes place on Sunday, 4 to 7 P.M., at Diva, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa."

Let It Bleed
"What can I say, what an amazing band! Booked for the celebration of life for my dad who was a massive stones fan and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The sound was great, not gimmicky, just a great band playing the best stones song. 80 guests and everyone said how good they were. One thing that sets the bar high for them is I asked for a song that isn't typically found on a stones set list but holds deep sentiment to myself, with only a weeks notice I didn't think they'd be able to do it....and they did! Such a lovely way to remember my dad....he would have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much guys!
P.s. sorry it took so long to write this review!"
