AnneLise
"I had the pleasure of hiring Anne-Lise Longuemare, an exceptionally talented pianist to perform during a prestigious dinner event for a luxury brand, and I am thrilled to share my enthusiastic review of her performance.
From the moment she started playing, the atmosphere transformed into one of elegance and sophistication.
Not only was her musical talent amazing, but her presentation and demeanor were equally impressive.
She was easy to work with and professional.
I would recommend her to anyone seeking a pianist."
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
Coltrane, Dr. Art Davis’ estimable quintet with Doug Webb and Phil Vieux, and others. Information: (213) 293-2451.
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."
The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band
"Perfect Jazz Band!
Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!"

Hana Dolgin Saxophonist and Bandleader
"We have hired Hana a couple of times for our events on our yachts and she has even been available for us at very last minute with barely no time to prepare.
She is great as a person and everyone is always amazed with her music. We have hired her with a pianist as well as a guitar player on different occasions and each time she has given us a great show."
