Response from The Soul Jazz Chef:
Thank you so much! My pleasure:)
Avi was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make my engagement proposal the most special moment for my fiance and me. He was well-prepared and flexible given the evolving weather (the rain stopped at a perfect time). I would definitely work with Avi again and recommend him to anyone looking for live music for an event!

Response from The Soul Jazz Chef:
Thank you so much:) So happy that everything worked out with the weather(are we lucky or what?) and the music. I felt very blessed to play during your engagement proposal.
Congratulations!
Avi was the beat choice for my mom’s memorial service. He played guitar with a small amp (as requested). He was extremely professional in his communication, came on time to set up, and stayed even longer than expected. His music was soothing and beautiful. Thank you for making my mom’s memorial that much more special. I would highly recommend him for any event!
