March 22, 2025Excellent Performance Exactly What I Wanted
Hana Dolgin and her talented trio delivered an unforgettable jazz performance at our office last week, captivating us for over three hours with their incredible artistry. From the moment they began, Hana’s soulful energy and masterful command of the music set the tone for an afternoon filled with pure delight. Her smooth, expressive vocals paired beautifully with the rich, dynamic accompaniment of her two bandmates, creating a perfect balance of rhythm and melody that kept us all entranced.
What stood out most was Hana’s ability to connect with the audience—she brought a warmth and vibrancy that turned our usual workspace into a cozy jazz lounge. The trio’s chemistry was undeniable, with each musician shining in their solos while seamlessly supporting one another. They played a mix of classic standards and original pieces, showcasing their versatility and creativity. Hana’s improvisational flair was particularly impressive, adding a fresh, spontaneous edge to every song.
Beyond her musical talent, Hana was a consummate professional—gracious, engaging, and perfectly attuned to the vibe of the room. The performance was the highlight of our week, leaving everyone buzzing with appreciation. If you’re looking for a jazz experience that’s both polished and heartfelt, Hana Dolgin and her crew are an absolute must-see!

October 24, 2014Excellent musician and great person to deal with
We have hired Hana a couple of times for our events on our yachts and she has even been available for us at very last minute with barely no time to prepare.
She is great as a person and everyone is always amazed with her music. We have hired her with a pianist as well as a guitar player on different occasions and each time she has given us a great show.

What to expect
I perform beautiful music that is exciting and relaxing at the same time. I am a melodic player, with a good sense of rhythm, and people enjoy the music I play. I always play with top notch band members. If you would like mellow background music for an event or an exciting show to be the focus of attention, I can provide either or both.

Influences and inspiration
I have been influenced by mainstream jazz such as Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Paul Desmond, John Coltrane, Lee Konitz, Wayne Shorter and others, as well as by Latin musicians such as Tito Puente, Jose Feliciano, Gilberto Sanatrosa, Roberto Carlos and Antonio Carlos Jobim's beautiful bossa nova music, blues, soul and more. I love all kinds of music, and am always listening to new and old music.

Testimonials
It is hard to find true musicians today. Okay, it is not, but it is hard to find people like Hana Dolgin. She is a true artist who shines as bright as the brass of her instrument. A sax gal at heart, Hana is a talented one at that. Creating songs that showcase not only emotion but evoke the mind to create stories out of the images the notes draw up, that is what Hana does with her music. "When I Fall In Love" has a playful jazz demeanor that tells the story of a couple. It is undeniable the feeling this song contains and bursts with. "Solar" is a fun piano tune, while "Canta Lo Sentimental" slows down the mood and pace. "Mambo Inn" is fast and to the point. At times it sounds like a Mambo rendition of The Simpsons' theme song. Danny Elfman would be proud. For those stuck in a day job with only daydreams, give them a soundtrack with "Ontem A Noite". Let that be the song that guides you through the streets of Italy while you are stuck in your daily routine. Hana Dolgin is a saxophonist first and foremost, but at the core she is a musical storyteller. Check her out, if you are the type who finds themselves with a cup of wine and a nice instrumental record on hand.
– Band Blurb
Her smooth, melodic and tasteful sax renditions will please many types of music fans – from casual to hardcore jazz-nerds. Hailing out of Miami Beach, Florida, Hana is hot in the music scene and seems capable of handling any event, venue or audience. With a catalog of standards and hip arrangements, she is definitely above-the-bar on the jazz scene. “When I Fall In Love” is tastefully arranged with piano accompaniment, and indulges on a 7-minute improvisation, much to the listener’s pleasure. Dolgin’s chops are refined and put to elegant use. “Solar” is another jazz tune with a more upbeat feel and clear, singing tone from that sax. The recordings are pretty top notch, seemingly live, capturing the slight nuances and spins of each number. If you search for Hana Dolgin on the website Gigsalad.com, you’ll also find some videos of her performing with a band. The group grooves hard, with a bad-ass drummer, keys, bass, and Hana on Alto-Sax. This kind of performance will win over even casual listeners with its super tight, spot-on execution. From calm standards to full-band, audience-bobbing numbers, Hana Dolgin has got it all covered.
