Proof is wonderful to work with

I hired Proof based on a recommendation I received from the hotel I was hosting an event with. I asked Anton to send me a CD of his work and I paid for his band services in total one month before our scheduled event. I must say that I was very impressed with his musical talent as well as his willingness to play anything I wanted. I throughly enjoyed the evening with the Proof band and would recommend them to anyone! They were very professional and humble.

About

Anton developed a passion for jazz music at a young age, studying with legendary saxophonists while in high school in New York City. He earned a B.A. in Math & Philosophy at Harvard, phi beta kappa, and a Masters at Stanford. But in 1995, while conducting doctoral research in Artificial Intelligence, Anton left academia to be a full-time musician. In the years since, Anton has won over listeners and critics at high-profile jazz venues across the country. Anton’s five CDs have received critical acclaim, with his most recent two releases reaching number four and six on the national jazz radio charts. Schwartz is a longtime faculty member of the The California Jazz Conservatory and has been Artist-In-Residence at Harvard University and the Brubeck Institute, in addition to numerous jazz festivals and workshops.
