5/5 from 407 reviews
Photo of Jazz/Pop/Event Guitarist Jazz/Pop/Event Guitarist "Very Enjoyable! I am a drummer with an extensive background in jazz as well as pop, rock, blues, and standards. I have heard Dan play numerous times at various venues, and he is great! Mainly classic jazz and standards, plus contemporary tunes in his “Wes Montgomery-esque” style. Plus, he’s a really great guy, very personable. Hire this guy, you won’t be disappointed!!" Based in Berkeley, California (31 miles from Sonoma) Ed Glantz - Private event Photo of Jazz Odyssey Jazz Odyssey "Jazz Odyssey was amazing! The trio, drums, piano, and bass, arrived on time, started right on schedule, and played beautifully, creating a wonderful atmosphere for our event. They were such lovely people and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great live band!" Based in San Francisco, California (36 miles from Sonoma) 12th October 2026 Gabriela Laduda - Private event Photo of A Hue of Blue 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." Based in San Francisco, California (36 miles from Sonoma) 17th June 2026 Zan Stewart - The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band 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!" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (2,250 miles from Sonoma) Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music Photo of Brazilian Bossa Jazz Band Brazilian Bossa Jazz Band "The trio was fantastic, professional, and talented. The music added the perfect touch to our special day. Highly recommended!" Based in Centreville, Virginia (2,408 miles from Sonoma) 17th September 2026 Sue - Private Wedding Photo of John Anthony Ferrer John Anthony Ferrer "I have hired John Anthony Ferrer to entertain my sorority reunion guests at the Bean Runner Cafe. Is amazing guitar playing as well as classic songs and popular pop tunes. John's hand the guitar really comes alive as well as the songs he plays. John is a real Rock Star, playing tunes from the Jazz era and then switching to the Pop songs of the last few decades. Then playing Blues before going into some romantic Bossa Nova. I also hired him to host and play guitar for 2022 New York Miss Teen pageant contestants. It wasn't long before he had the beautiful young ladies dancing and singing to the songs he played. A highlight to their busy schedule. To sum it up, John Anthony Ferrer's guitar wizardry will amaze you." Based in Peekskill, New York (2,552 miles from Sonoma) Miss Elizabeth McCorvey - The Family Resource Center
