Nate and Chris Jazz
"A Masterclass in Professional Saxophone & Performance!
If you are looking for top-tier musical professionalism, this is an absolute must-hire. As a retired Army musician with over 30 years of experience, Chris brings a level of discipline, talent, and "class" that is rare to find. His expertise shines through in every note, whether performing traditional jazz, swing, or beautiful holiday classics.
Chris’s soulful saxophone work—clearly influenced by greats like John Coltrane—is the highlight of the performance. He is incredibly versatile, having performed at everything from intimate weddings and private parties to military ceremonies and international concerts across the US and South America.
What makes this act stand out is the sheer reliability and adaptability. He arrives early, provides professional sound and lighting systems, and is happy to tailor the repertoire to include specific client requests. Whether you need sophisticated background music for a corporate gala or a lively performance for a celebration, Chris delivers a flawless, high-quality show every time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a truly polished, world-class musician!"
Midnight Magic Band
"I brought this band in for their 1st event and they packed the place out and we were doing so good at the bar I asked them to play another hour and they obliged have booked 2 additional dates already. Great live music Midnight Magic definitely is a hit."
Pitch Black Studio Orchestra
"Roasted turned into a whole vibe with PBSO! I came to Roasted expecting a chill night and PBSO turned it into a full-blown soulful concert. The way they transformed the space with live instrumentation, powerhouse vocals, and their smooth blend of funk, jazz, and R&B was unmatched. The energy was intimate but electric, and the crowd couldn’t get enough. Real music, real talent, real Nashville vibes."
The Ron Smolen Big Band / Orchestra
"Wedding October 14 2023 - University Club - Chicago, IL
Hi Ron,
I've been meaning to shoot you an email.
Thank you guys so much, we had such a wonderful time and were so happy and impressed with the music. With everything going on, there were 2 things about the wedding that made it stand out: the food and the band. Our guests loved the music and it was everything that we could have ever wanted and more.
I really meant what I said about how cool it is that you all play this music and hopefully more people my age appreciate the work that you all do. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. We visit Chicago pretty often so we'll keep tabs on when you play and will come say hello sometime soon.
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
-Ryan & Angela"

D'AYCH and The Next Level Band
"Used these guys for my event in September of 2023. I can always tell things are going to go well when the communication is clear. We were able to get exactly what we needed for both days of our two day event. The first day we wanted classic rock and/or light rap for the festivities to get the crowd amped up. People were walking around the fest jamming while shopping/eating, which is what we wanted. The second day we needed something far more subtle while dinner was served to our sponsors and guests. D'aych and The Next Level Band brought the old school JAZZ BAND sound. Wow!
We were originally going to go with 2 different bands but D'aych assured me that they could handle it all. THEY ABSOLUTELY DID.
The best parts:
1. On both days they dressed for the theme of our event!!
2. They arrived EARLY and I always say EARLY is on time!
3. They were professional
4. They did exactly what they were hired to do on both days... seamlessly
Definitely my go to band now and will use them at our event in 2024 as well. Thanks guys!"
