A One man band featuring myself on sax. A main selling point is that I am playing all of the music on the
background tracks. Another selling point is that I keep strict control over my volume.I have played weddings, conferences, church events and of course, birthday parties.
Jay was such a pleasure to have at our retirement party. He was flexible with his time and was kind enough to even interact and engage with our guests. We're so glad we choose him!
Jay was so gracious at my birthday party. Everyone was asking where did I find him and how impressed they were with his talents. I would recommend him for your cocktail hour or guest arrival/dinner entertainment.
Mr.Harmon arrived ahead of time, set up and player amazingly well. He went above and beyond our expectations. He played his sax with such talent and truly blessed our soul in music and singing. I will definitely recommend him and will use him again. He was life to the party and we say thank you Mr Harmon.
Pleasant experience with Jay. He accommodated our wants and needs to be a background for party.
Excellent
Jay was amazing! His personality was as wonderful as his sax playing! He was on time, professional and completely prepared with everything he needed!

Response from Jay Harmon:
Indeed I thank you, Dhiren and Thank you Gig Salad. I met and
enjoyed a GREAT group of people. It was a great night.
He did a great job, is talented and really got the party started!
Hired to set the ambience for the cocktail hour at my wedding recepton and to play during dinner, Jay performed exactly as requested. See, my reception was at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum and I explained to Jay that really, he wasn't the entertainment. The amazing display of vintage cars were; I needed him to simply be a subtle background to add that special touch to the evening. I had spoken with other musicians who were so ready to "perform" and I found Jay to be humbly willing to do as requested. Jay is beyond talented both with playing the saxophone by itself as well as with tracks of other instruments that he laid himself. All my guests raved about him. Of all the vendors that I hired for my wedding, Jay's talent made the biggest impact to what many called "the best wedding I'be ever been to". Bravo, Jay!
