Jazz van Gogh
"Jon and Susan have performed for many years in many different venues, and can easily adapt different styles of music to different events from nightclubs to weddings. I especially enjoy their wedding performances, where their ethereal, romantic melodies reflect beautifully the intimacy of the occasion. Jon and Susan are talented, seasoned professionals -- Susan with her keyboard, flute, and lovely vocals, and Jon on his keenly expressive guitar. We have used them for family weddings, and related events like rehearsal dinners, and have been very happy with them."
Campbell's Jazz Soup
"THANK YOU for being such an incredible part of our wedding! The music set the perfect tone from the very start—elegant, lively, and full of joy. You created such a wonderful atmosphere during cocktail hour, and our guests kept telling us how much they loved having live jazz as part of the day."
Band Saptham
"A fantastic team of superbly talented artists, and what a great performance! Rakhi's voice and singing stand shoulder to shoulder with the original recordings, capturing every nuance and emotion of the songs. The whole band was tight, professional, and clearly passionate about their music. They kept the audience engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended for any event"
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.

Audley Reid Saxophonist
"Audley played sax at our drinks reception and honestly, he was such a great choice. Just him and his sax, and the whole room felt warmer the second he started. Guests kept wandering over to listen, and a few came up to ask us who he was. He was super easy to work with too, showed up on time and just got on with it. We’d book him again in a heartbeat."
