February 28, 2022What a group!
Band lead, Steve, was incredibly communicative prior to booking the event, and also after booking. The day of, all band members arrived in a timely manner, were professionally dressed and played a great set. They were accommodating to last minute song requests and nimble with run of show changes. If you're looking for a Jazz band, these are your guys!

May 13, 2020You guys are phenomenal!
Dear Cognac Jazz Band Members, Thank you so much for your amazing musical contribution to our memorial for our dear mother, grandmother and friend, Grace Berry, who died on May 3rd, 2020 and was honored with a celebration of her life on May 6th, 2020. Having a live jazz band of your caliber, was exactly what we wanted in terms of creating an atmosphere of lightness and joy. Our Mom loved music and would have loved you guys. It makes me smile just thinking of that day, which is remarkable, given how difficult it was to let her go. She was an exceptional, quirky and fun person. Thank you for your professionalism and your respect and your willingness to perform so last minute in such hard times. I can't thank you enough!
Most Sincerely, Cindy Berry

October 21, 2019Wonderful Music!
I heard the Cognac Jazz Band on October 19, 2019, when I was a guest of friends at Arleigh Burke. I was really impressed with their high quality and the versatility of their music. A good time red was had by all! I hope to see them again soon.

May 19, 2019Amazing experience in Senior Living!
They have played for our Senior Living Community a few times and every time the performance is amazing! They spend tons of times preparing and setting up for the best ambiance! The sound is amazing! I had residents come out of their room once they heard their music when they never leave their room! Amazing! Recommend highly!
