The trio was exactly what we wanted for our party.  They played the perfect mix of old and new jazz.  Please thank the guys again for me….and thank you for all your help putting this together!”   Bob B., Torrington, CT
We’ve been having this event for many years, and this was the first time we’ve had live music.  It really set such a nice tone for the dinner.  I think our guests enjoyed it just as much as we did.  It really made the party extra special!”   Denise T., New Haven, CT
