Patrick Rienzo - Jazz Pianist

Patrick entertained for our holiday party and did a marvelous job. He arrived on time, was set up before any guests arrived. He was courteous and respectful of our home. When the music started we were blown away. He's a great vocalist and pianist! He had the perfect repertoire for our guests and was a true showman, while still not interfering with the lively conversations that were part of the party. We couldn't have been happier!

Patrick was amazing at our party. As the guests were arriving and during dinner we asked him to play some jazz tunes. After dinner he played some well known piano bar songs and did a number of special requests. It was great to see everyone singing along and enjoying themselves just like going to a piano bar. He is very professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to do something similar.

Patrick did a fantastic job for our event! We hired Patrick to play background jazz and American songbook pieces for our 30th wedding anniversary celebration. We wanted soft background music and some songs (with vocals) easy to dance to. Patrick listened and provided exactly what we wanted. As a bonus, he was a pleasure to deal with --he was prompt, set up without a fuss and played most of the afternoon, with little break time. He was also available for emails/calls beforehand regarding our questions/issues. A number of our guests complimented us on our choice of musicians. Having him certainly added to our celebration. We highly recommend Patrick without hesitation.

Patrick was great to deal with from start to finish. He showed up prior to the event to set up and was ready to go as soon as guests began arriving. He played the perfect mix if music! He got everyone dancing and singing -- just what we wanted. On top of being a talented piano player, he has. A great voice and can play guitar too!
Patrick was a huge hit and we highly recommend hiring him if you want wonderful music played by a complete professional.

I was looking for some live entertainment to add a touch of class to a summertime party, and booked Patrick after catching a number of his impressive performances. Patrick provided exactly the kind of beautiful instrumental jazz piano that I had in mind, striking the perfect balance between virtuosity and restraint on music ranging from classic jazz standards to jazzy solo piano arrangements of pop songs. He arrived exactly when promised, swiftly set up, and stored all of his cases and bags out of sight long before any guests arrived. Contrary to the popular imagination of a lackadaisical, slovenly musician, Patrick was impeccably dressed, and carried himself as a true professional.

As the night went on, my guests got a little... shall we say... "socially lubricated", and began to request more upbeat pop and rock music; much to everybody's amazement, Patrick was more than able to comply! He was able to fill an astonishing number and variety of requests, and was able to lead the increasingly enthusiastic crowd in quite a few singalongs. Even (I kid not) "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Patrick was even able to provide an extra set at a reasonable fee, which I was more than happy to pay to keep the party going.

Needless to say, my guests and I were thrilled with Patrick's skill and professionalism. I would absolutely and without hesitation recommend him for any occasion or venue.
