What to expect
“A former musician recommended Christian and his jazz band to me earlier this year. Due to this recommendation, I felt comfortable hiring the band and having them come perform for my senior retirement community. Christian has been wonderful to work with and easy to communicate to. He was prompt in responding to my request to have them come and perform. The band showed up promptly and played softly in the background, so the music did not overwhelm conversations or dinner. The residents that attended the evening enjoyed the music. I have enjoyed working with Christian and have already reserved future dates for future performances. I feel comfortable recommending him and his band to those looking for a great professional jazz band.” Naomi Sadler – Lifestyles Director, Seattle, WA
