Best band ever!!!

Jazz Revolution made my daughter's wedding spectacular. They played a small jazz ensemble for the cocktail hour and then a fantastic selection for the dinner and dancing. They even learned the songs my daughter wanted for our daddy daughter dance. Jazz Revolution took the receiption to a whole new level! I highly recommend them.

Great Jazz Band

Jazz Revolution is very professional and personable. We had to reschedule our reception due to this covid nonsense and they were exceptionally accomodating. They gave us the option to cancel completely and receive a refund if necessary, which eliminated our stress over the situation. Letron kept in touch with us and we finally confirmed our reception date. They setup in the country club and the musicians were excellent. The vocalist was great too. My friend even approached them and asked if they would surprise me by roping me in for a couple of songs to sing to the audience and they did. It was so fun to sing with a live band like that. Letron on the sax was excellent and the musicians certainly were accomodating in covering up the mistakes of a novice. That's the sign of a great musician :) They played very classy songs and my "performance" were the songs Fever and Sharp Dressed Man by ZZtop.... they are very flexible !
Letron came up afterward and thanked us graciously. We really had a great experience with this band and would highly recommend them.
