We loved Cris Barber and her trio. One of the first comments made to me by one of my close friends was "Where did you find that Jazz Band, they're amazing". Cris is excellent, her voice is very captivating, smooth and never forceful. This is the kind of entertainment you would get for discriminating guests. I received a lot of praises from our friends and I would certainly recommend this group. They will definitely be my entertainers for all our parties, no doubt.
