Super Responsive - Outstanding Musicianship

My son was looking for an accompanist for a critical performance assessment. Jordan took the sheet music, quickly was able to record the piece and even sent it in three different tempos. What an outstanding, professional job! We will 100% look to engage with Jordan the next time we either need an accompanist, or a musician for an event.
Thanks Jordan!

Jordan was excellent and professional

Jordan played background music for my fathers casual memorial service. It was honestly the perfect touch. The songs were appropriate and kept the service feeling light but not overly so. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Jordan everyone thought you did a great job.

Recital Pianist

I needed an accompanist to play a recital for my voice studio. There were nine performers each with two songs each. The styles ranged from music theatre, jazz, classical, opera, and even sacred. Jordan was a consummate professional and did a fantastic job performing with minimal rehearsal time. He has a keen ability to follow the soloist and adjust if/when a soloist made a mistake. He is a genuinely a nice guy with a great disposition and will do everything in his power to give the customer what they want. I would absolutely hire him again for my next gig.
