Photo of Stan Komarovsky Stan Komarovsky "It is a true pleasure to recommend Stan Komarovsky. After working with him, I can confidently say he is one of the finest musicians and one of the most professional people I have had the opportunity to collaborate with. From our very first rehearsal through our live performance, Stan consistently exceeded every expectation. His level of musicianship is exceptional. His bass playing is precise, powerful, musical, and always elevates the entire band. He has outstanding timing, incredible feel, and the ability to make every song sound bigger, tighter, and more dynamic. He doesn’t simply play the bass—he helps create a complete, polished performance. What truly sets Stan apart is his professionalism and dedication. He always arrived fully prepared, learned every song thoroughly, communicated clearly, and approached every rehearsal with a positive attitude and genuine commitment. As someone organizing a show, having a musician you can completely rely on is invaluable, and Stan was exactly that. He made the entire process smoother and gave everyone confidence on stage. Beyond his incredible talent, Stan is an outstanding person. He is respectful, humble, easy to work with, supportive of his fellow musicians, and genuinely passionate about delivering the highest-quality performance possible. His positive attitude and calm professionalism create a great atmosphere both during rehearsals and on stage. If you are looking for a bassist who combines world-class musicianship with reliability, professionalism, and outstanding character, I cannot recommend Stan highly enough. Whether it’s a concert, corporate event, private function, wedding, festival, recording session, or touring production, he will bring tremendous value and professionalism to your event. I sincerely hope to work with Stan again on many future projects. He is an exceptional musician, a true professional, and someone I would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier musical talent. Thank you, Stan, for your dedication, your incredible performance, and for helping make our show a memorable success. You have earned my highest recommendation, and I wish you continued success in everything you do.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" 6th July 2026 Gustavo P. - Savage Avenue (80s Rock Tribute) Photo of David Sax David Sax "Absolutely incredible! He was one of the highlights of our wedding. So many guests came up to us saying how amazing he was and asking where we found him. Super talented, easy to work with, and brought such a great vibe to the night. We’d book him again in a heartbeat." 2nd August 2026 Kevin Ansems - Wedding Photo of Julian Christopher Julian Christopher "Julian played the saxophone for the first hour as our guests arrived for my dad's birthday, and he was absolutely brilliant. His performance created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone for a wonderful celebration. The music was elegant, relaxed, and beautifully played, with everyone commenting on how much they enjoyed it. Julian was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have at the event. His talent really added something special to the day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic saxophonist for their event." 4th August 2026 Ruby O’brien - 60th birthday party Photo of Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' "BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A ​"Garry King as a drummer and producer brings a quality of musicianship and professionalism seldom seen. He is just the kind of person our industry needs." ​" 18th August 2026 BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A - Drummer Photo of Trumpet for events Trumpet for events "Dear Pete Amazing to see The Godfather video here. It's really made me smile and brought back fabulous memories of our lovely day. My husband could not believe his ears when he heard the opening of The Godfather as we stood at the church door and it is definitely something neither of us or our guests will ever forget. So cool! The Charpentier was perfect as we walked down the aisle - bright and cheerful and uplifting - and you made our organist very happy. Thank you, too, for playing Che La Luna Mezzo Mare as our guests moved through the hotel from the reception to the wedding breakfast, and the fanfare as we entered the ballroom. Honestly, Pete, you gave the sparkle and polish to our day. For anyone reading this review, Pete is a fantastic musician and a top-notch professional. I booked Pete as a surprise for my husband because he had this thing about trumpeters playing from the raised pew that is in the church where we had our service . Pete was really flexible in listening to and responding to every request. He also made a number of suggestions to enhance the music I asked for and sent several videos so that I got exactly what I wanted. I can't remember what the fee was now but I can tell you it was worth every penny. Every single one! Thanks again, Pete.

She mentioned that she searched widely for th kind of sound and performance I do and she was extremely happy in the end." 18th September 2026 Pamela - Organizer
