We get to enjoy your show as her health allows with well over 15 shows the last 2 yrs...I brought my kids last night too. Continue to share your gifts and thank you for the memory, joy and touching arrangements you offer."

I’m glad it all worked out for the band and I’m sure you have a lot of new fans."
--Phil F.
"Although I've heard stories about the Jazz Consortium Big Band and imagined how energizing it must be to see them live, it wasn't until yesterday that I had the pleasure of experiencing the reality of it all. I truly enjoyed the music! What a swinging, great sounding band. Thank you for a wonderful evening."
