"Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the wine tasting last night. It was wonderful to see my art on Chandler's walls! Espresso Jazz was the perfect music for the event." Mary Femniak; Artist, Yankee Candle's, Chandler's Restaurant "An Artful Life Of Wine" (Jazz/Art/Wine/ Reception)
"Among the first guests to perform for Baystate Franklin Medical Center's Healing Arts Concert series, Espresso Jazz has returned at least once a year. Both talented musicians, Sandi and Barbara are also talented at drawing their audience in, using a thoughtfully selected repertoire to create a warm, positive and healing environment for the hospital's patients and visitors." Phyllis Roy,Coordinator, Baystate Franklin Medical Center "Espresso Jazz has painted a shimmering soundscape at several of
Gallery 137's artist receptions. Their lustrous tone, wonderful
repertoire, and creative stylings have made exciting art and a beautiful space even more engaging and memorable for our friends and
patrons." Brian F. Hale, Chair, Gallery 137

"Thank you Sandi and Barbara! Our guests praised the quality of your performance and remarked how enjoyable it was. I was also impressed as to how effortlessly the music fit right into the holiday celebration! I was so happy to have all Christmas standards. I was also very pleased with your business professionalism when we were working out the details planning our event." J. Gelinas, Longmeadow, MA (Holiday Party) “I wanted to thank you for playing at our holiday party last week. The music was perfect and added a very nice touch to the evening. Best wishes to you for a wonderful holiday season!” Kathy Wilson; Special Events Coordinator. Carlson, GMAC, Barney Estate, Springfield, MA (Corporate Event)
"Just writing to thank everyone who helped with the dance, those who came and enjoyed, and especially to the wonderful Espresso Jazz Band - weren't they great!! Our dance was a great success! Swing On!" J. Birri, Secretary, Smith Hooked on Swing Society, Northampton, MA (Swing Jazz) "I found Espresso Jazz through their web site, and after listening to some of their songs, I knew they would be perfect for our Knight of Wines fundraiser. But no recording could even come close to accurately representing how great Espresso Jazz is in a live performance! Their energy, professionalism, expertise, obvious enjoyment for the music they play and, most importantly, their wonderful sound, made the evening an occasion beyond anyone's expectations. Plus, they required very little set-up and guidance throughout the night--an absolute must for an event manager!" Sara Murphy, Special Events Manager, Higgins Armory Museum, Worcester, MA (Jazz Wine Event) "It's refreshing to find musicians as concerned with our guests as they are with their music. Not only have you found new fans at The Charlemont Inn, your fans have found the Charlemont Inn! From load in to load out your group is professional, courteous and fabulously talented. Thank you for the wonderful entertainment you bring to our restaurant. We are very pleased you will be returning for a regular Saturday night appearance!" Linda Shimandle, Innkeeper, Charlemont Inn, Charlemont, MA "Our
recent fundraiser at the Lobster Pot was a huge success not only
because of the great food but due to the incredible talent of Espresso
Jazz. They played just the right music for the crowd, which spanned
several generations, and had everyone up on the dance floor by the end
of the night. Days later, people were still talking about the music at
this event and asking when they'll be back in town!"
Irene Rabinowitz, Helping Our Women, Provincetown, MA (Fund Raiser)
Hermann and Corinna, Germany "Last night I played your latest CD over and over and it was so wonderful. I know my listeners will love it as well." Carrie Patterson, WOMR Radio Provincetown, MA (Radio Play)
"WOW!!! What a sensational nite at the Charlemont Inn!! You were all so into it. We felt 12 feet off the ground and cruising at Mach speed. You heard the applause from the crowd. We all really loved it." N. Jamison, Greenfield, MA "What
a pleasure Friday nights at Verdé were when Espresso Jazz played. Their
music perfectly fit the ambiance of the restaurant and their playful
personalities were the perfect accompaniment to our atmosphere. With
Espresso Jazz on the schedule, Verdé became the destination spot on
Stratton Mountain every Friday. Hope we get to work together again soon!" Marc Miller, Manager Verde` Stratton MT, VT
"We need to give a collective thanks
to bands like Espresso Jazz for their efforts in bringing us from the
past into the future with music that has no timeline." Keith Hannaleck jazz reviewer www.progressiveworld.net
"We've
seen them perform in a few venues - from duo to big band, from private
parties to raucous clubs. They always soothe the senses. Whether you
enjoy your jazz mellow, hefty, brewing or stewing -- Espresso Jazz is
one hot cup of java." Lorraine
Hartnet. Savoy,
MA (Club Music)

great food, but in particular they were quite complimentary of Espresso

"I
had the opportunity to watch "Homegrown" several weeks ago, while I was
visiting my Mom and Dad. WOW, what a truly wonderful performance by all
of you! I thoroughly enjoyed the music----and then some! Espresso Jazz
certainly has become my favorite! And, I sure was PROUD of my Pop
seeing him on TV playing his clarinet! Keep doing what you do best,
it's awesome! B. Sparkman Jr. Tucson, Arizona "I was
listening to your music on the net and I really like what you're doing.
Continue your great work, your music is very good." "I
had your CD in my work truck last summer and played it for my
Guatemalan tree planting crew. I don't think they had ever heard
anything like that before. They were impressed and so was my boss! When
are you touring the upper Midwest? " D. Rollins, Minnesota
"We
just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your playing at our
party Saturday evening! You were wonderful, as usual, and a lot of our
guests also agreed. The weather was perfect and all made for a great
evening! Thanks to the Espresso Jazz Trio for helping to make it a
wonderful party!" V. Martin & C. Singley, Shelburne Falls, MA (House Party)
