My company organized for Russ to do a solo set during a grand opening party for a new building in the Upper East Side. Everyone was very impressed by his performance and I would highly recommend him for anyone interested in his services. Not only was the performance flawless, but his business dealings before the set were exceptionally professional and I would not hesitate to reach out to him again for any future events. His fees are also very competitive. Highly recommend! Thanks Russ!
Response from Jazz and Salsa New York - led by Russ Nolan:
Thank you very much, Sang! It was a pleasure to perform for Professionals who realize the value of hiring live musicians to entertain their clients. Looking forward to the next event!
My wife and I hired Russ to play saxophone during our wedding cocktail hour at the Central Park Boathouse this summer. We thought Russ did an amazing job - he played classic and upbeat tunes that fit very well with the vibe we were trying to create. He played the sax the whole hour and was generally a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We highly recommend Russ!
Russ played the Sax at the cocktail hour of my Wedding. People loved him and a few people mentioned that he was one of the highlights of my wedding. Thanks RUSS!
I had a great experience hiring Russ Nolan for our event. We had a group of about 50 high-level executives come out for a reception and they all raved about Russ's performance. He was very receptive to ideas and accomodated all of our requests. Highly recommend!
We found Russ through GigSalad and hired him to play solo sax for the grand opening of our new Upper East Side studio, Pilates Challenge. He provided exactly the musical touch we were seeking: beautiful, sophisiticated sound and perfect playlist paired with a real sensitivity to the dynamics of the social event and the tone of the evening. We were delighted. He's a complete professional.
Russ and company provided music for our annual awards gala as well as various other events throughout the year. He is very professional and a great guy to work with. Also, very flexible.
Russ Nolan Music Production has been playing at our private New Year's Eve event at a Rockefeller Center venue for the last 8 years on a row and we enjoyed every single one! We definitely recommend their service for great quality and professionalism.
