John and his group absolutely knocked it out of the park. They expertly played all of the jazz classics and dressed elegantly for the occasion. They were the perfect choice to entertain our guests and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to book them for their event!

Thank you very much for your kindness. Alex and I appreciate you looking out for us with all that you had going yesterday. And congrats!- You had a lot of milestones to celebrate this past weekend. Glad we could be a part of it! Safe travels back home. :) -John

We hired Tiny Jazz for our corporate event at the Eilan Hotel in San Antonio. All of the guests raved about how skilled the band members were and how great the sound was. Tiny Jazz played a variety of jazz that appealed to everyone in the room. Thank you so much for making our guests happy. When we are back in San Antonio, we will definitely use you again next time!

Hi Crystal - so glad you found us on the internet and took a chance on us! Thank you for everything :) What a fine setting you picked for your group’s dinner. Sustenio at Eilan was a great place to lay down some jazz! Hope to see you again… JS

Ting Jazz is such an amazing group! They were so easy to work with and always were able to adapt to any changes necessary. John Spears was my main point of contact and he was phenomenal! Working for a university, the students absolutely enjoyed them as well as the faculty and staff! Such a fun and amazing group! Definitely will be using them again!

Tori, thank you so much for remembering us from last year! Glad the pandemic let up enough to have the Mardi Gras festivities. We were super pleased that the students were really digging the jazz and actively requesting songs. It was nice to finally meet you- Thanks again!

Thank you so much John for your professionalism!

Congratulations on your daughter’s wedding! Everything yesterday was so beautiful. Thank you for trusting Tiny Jazz to be part of it. It was great to meet you both, and we look forward to working with you again!

Tiny Jazz made the event one to remember always. All the guest loved their selection of music. They were so good at setting a beautiful setting guest at the hotel sat outside to listen and enjoy the music. Wonderful musician doesn’t given them enough crest.

I communicated with John of Tiny Jazz for booking and he was great. Kept me fully informed and was very dependable. He and Billy Ray provided the perfect jazz sound for our graduation brunch by the pool. Fun selection of tunes, even providing some Led Zeppelin for the parents!! Great fun, very reasonably priced, really increased everyone's enjoyment factor. Can definitely recommend and will be calling them again.

Thank you again for asking us to play at your party. And btw, that conga line.. lol! ...it was the best!! We hope to see you all again one day! :) -John Spears

We had Tiny Jazz out at our church for our Christmas services in December. They really set the tone, everyone enjoyed the atmosphere! They were very easy to work with, even accommodating when we had to rush them inside due to the cold front that blew in while they were here.

Hi Danielle - Just now reflecting back on the Christmas festival - And we are very grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of your quite fantastic event. Thank you the for warm reception and fellowship you showed Rob and me. Any opportunity to play is always welcomed, but your event certainly made it extra special. Thanks again!! -John Spears

Tiny Jazz played at our Pizza Wine Bar and was Fabulous! They play the whole genre of jazz and we’re able to read our crowd and what they liked to hear. They’re sound was awesome! We have them coming back to play on Valentines Day & can’t wait to hear them again.

Hi Mary! It's been several months since we first played (and the time of this review), and I want you know we enjoy coming and playing each and every time! Your staff feels like family and it shows in everything you've built out there. Thanks so much for having us play. For those reading this review - Mario's Pizza and Wine Bar is great - Just read all the reviews on Yelp and Google. (The eggplant parm has become one of my favorites, along with the supreme pizza, of course). They recently moved to 29774 US-281, Bulverde, TX 78163

We contracted Tiny Jazz for a company holiday gathering and they were simply outstanding. All extremely professional and skilled musicians, with the perfect amount of coolness. We had never tried a live jazz band and wasn't sure how it go with our group (personally i love jazz) bc it can be hit or miss.... they were definitely a hit!! They will elevate any event for sure ....Cant wait to use them again.
