Excellent Professionals!

We had an excellent time at Breanna's Pink Mardi Gras Bridal Shower! Javier and his crew created a welcoming Second Line entrance for my daughter. She was shocked! Highly recommended and I hope to use their services again in the near future.

New Orleans Jazz for Memorial Service

The jazz trio organized by Dr. Nero was fantastic. Dr. Nero was very kind and patient when trying to determine how to best play the music my dad would have wanted with the size of the trio. When he was unable to attend the event himself, Dr. Nero quickly found his replacement and could not have curated a better group play to honor my dad. All the musicians were talented and very nice. A final jazz concert for an avid jazz lover. We are very thankful for Dr. Nero and all of the musicians who played.

Beyond Impressive

Javier Nero and his band were the highlight of our party. We were having a New Orleans themed event and they played outstanding jazz music. To have them as background music at a party was definitely a shame - they should have had a stage, spotlights, and seats surrounding them. They were very professional and accommodating, our guests are still talking about them. We were so lucky to have had them come to our event!

Great Musicians, Professional

Javier and his quartet did an awesome job setting the mood at our Latin-themed Asado welcome dinner the day before my wedding. Javier is an awesome trombonist and great musician and they can play it all and well. Just what you look for in a jazz group - youthful energy and great vibes and professional. Five stars.

Extremely Talented

Javier Nero performed at my husband’s birthday celebration. The quintet I hired was incredible. They played all of the jazz greats I requested and more. The mixed group of 50 were thoroughly impressed and entertained. I couldn’t be happier

Amazing. Just what we needed.

We hired Javier for a family event to celebrate my father, a jazz brass band and piano player, who recently passed away. He brought a keyboardist and played throughout the event. I told him what sort of music my dad liked and Javier and accompanist nailed it. They had a really positive and peaceful energy. Everyone, kids and adults, had a beautiful time listening, dancing, and telling stories about my dad. And Javier could not have been easier to work with.

Fantastic musicians, booked very last minute!

We booked Javier the night before the party. Unfortunately he was not able to be there but found 3 fantastic musicians that were able to provide the requested New Orleans music. The guys arrived on time, set-up quickly and went with the flow of the evening. Even stayed later when the party went into overtime. I would highly recommend Javier and trust that if he can not be there himself, then he will find comparable if not better musicians than himself.
