"This band performed at a large music festival we sponsored. Fantastic group and the best band in the history of the festival! Amazingly versatile music repetoire with great vocals and instrumentalists. We've never seen that kind of crowd reaction from a jazz band before at the festival. They ended the show with a Michael Jackson medley and a Caribbean soca jam. Festival was a total success and we've already asked them back next year." - (River Oaks Jazz Festival) "Best band of the festival. Great musicians.
