Fantastic old school jazz.

My sister wanted a jazz duo. Christian was super responsive. He can essentially play anything, and we gave him a list of some of our favorite old-school jazz songs. He came with an upright bass player. He played our requests and took requests from the audience. Music was danceable. He made a rendition of my sister’s favorite Beatles song I Will which was startlingly good. This guy is funny and kind and you can tell he LOVES to play. He just seemed…happy, to be there playing live for us.

Wedding for Cousin

Hired Christian for my cousins wedding. He is super responsive and professional. Had a great repertoire of songs (jazz, pop, vocal). He played with a trio, guitar, bass, and sax. If you want some great music performed, Christian is your guy.

Would hire again!

Absolutely fantastic! Christian set the perfect tone for my niece’s wedding welcome dinner—upbeat, warm, and joyful from start to finish. Christian’s performance was polished, the song selection was spot-on, and so many guests commented on how amazing the music was. Truly elevated the entire evening. Highly recommend Christian —would book him again without hesitation!

So easy and seamless to work with, and exactly what we wanted. Beautiful jazz playing, and they were ready with every standard I requested. They were super aware of our space and the music was always at the perfect level for what was going on. I would absolutely hire these guys for future events and weddings.
