Jazz Singers for Hire in Lake Tahoe

"Oh my goodness, where do I even start? Makeda has an absolutely breathtaking voice that completely blew everyone away! We hired her for a private gathering, and she brought such beautiful, warm energy to the whole evening. She has this incredible, natural way of connecting with the crowd—she had all our guests smiling, engaged, and just having the absolute best time. Everyone kept coming up to me all night asking where I found such an amazing singer! Thank you so much, Makeda, for making our event truly unforgettable and so incredibly delightful. We could not have asked for a better performance, and we absolutely cannot wait to have you back again soon!"

"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."

"We hired Ana’s jazz band for the cocktail hour after our wedding ceremony, and they were absolutely fantastic. They are incredibly talented and truly amazing at what they do. We loved their sound, style, and authenticity, they created the perfect atmosphere for our cocktail hour and would also be amazing for anything else. Our guests really enjoyed the music, and it added such a special touch to the day. We would highly recommend hiring Ana’s jazz band for any wedding or special event, as they are truly exceptional."

"Jazz Centrale brought exactly the right balance of elegance and subtlety to our executive gathering. The music enhanced the atmosphere without ever overpowering conversations. A truly first-class experience."

"Gillian and her trio were AMAZING! They really completed the whole vibe for my 50th Birthday! They played a jazz set as the guests arrived and then switched modes to dance party band and even had some of the guests sit in and play!! We were blown away with their professionalism, punctuality, adaptability, ability to switch from background music to full on party band! Gillian is a phenomenal vocalist and bassist and her band was funky and FUN! They curated set lists that were perfect for the whole event. I highly recommend them for ANY event as they are very adaptable and entertaining!"

"They accompanied us brilliantly on the most important day of our lives"
