Brazilian Bossa Jazz Band
"The trio was fantastic, professional, and talented. The music added the perfect touch to our special day. Highly recommended!"
Manny Cepeda Orchestra (MCO)
"Where to begin... Manny served as the musician and MC for my wedding in La Jolla. Our goal was a small and intimate wedding with excellent Latin live music and Manny absolutely delivered. From our initial
communication, he answered all my questions and helped me come up with the best fit for our wedding given the room size and party size. As communication continued, he remained flexible and adaptable as I changed a few things. He also helped me coordinate a secret seranata for my bride. Ultimately, he did everything we had hoped for and more. He is extremely talented and knowledgeable, in addition to being friendly and easy going. His unique energy/atmosphere was greatly appreciated. Our guests repeatedly told me how great his music was and a couple of them asked me where I found him. My wife and I can't recommend him enough! Thanks Manny for making our day as special as possible."
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."
Branco Costa
"I just saw Branco at Waverly’s restaurant in Englewood last night. I love saxophone music, and even though my tastes lean towards urban blues and New Orleans boogie I was completely captivated by Branco’s playing. If you need some mellow but engaging music for your event, Branco is your man."
Steel Drum Player
"When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice!
Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion.

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!!"
