Amazing Music

I’ve heard Mixed Bag play at 2 different events and I LOVE their jam! They play a whole mixture of jazz music, which I LOVE jazz, so it’s always a good experience! Book them for a wedding or anniversary or just for light, live background music…you won’t regret it. The crowd will definitely enjoy!

They sound awesome, played at my wine bar many times

I've hired these guys at least eight times....that said, I think that this review holds some credibility. These guys are really great. Zan's trumpet work is really impressive, and backed by Todd on a stand-up bass makes for a cool vibe for sure. I know that they also have other guys as well. When I hired them, they had Lane on the keys which rounded out a cool jazzy vibe. They were perfect for a dim wine bar. You'll love their music.
