Hire a great jazz 

Good morning Chuck. I just wanted to thank you so much for an unbelievable evening. You and your musicians are unreal. You set the mood just right and took a great party to an entirely higher level. The staff of the hotel are actually still talking about the jazz trio that played at the rose room last night. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with your talent and professionalism. Again… thank you.

Nick Tumminello, Birthday Party, Rose Room, March 1, 2025, Guitar Trio

I want to thank you and the band again for an amazing night. Your music completed my vision and I couldn't ask for a better band or musical experience. All of my guests raved about you as well (a LOT of jazz fans were there :) ) We also decided we loved your version of our first dance song better than the original! 

    You were all so incredible to work with and if I ever need to host another event you will be the first I call!!!!! 

I cannot thank you enough. Please send the rest of the band my deepest gratitude!

Thank you so much for performing for us—there were multiple compliments from our guests throughout the night on the quality of your band. I hope we can work together again (we will certainly recommend you to any of our friends in Greenwich).

Jonathan Wang, Birthday Party, Indian Harbor Yacht Club, December 9th, 2023, Vocal Quartet

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed working with you, and having you all on-site for our event! I have received so many compliments. The music is something quite important to our host and he was so pleased. Thanks again and will be in touch once we have a date for next year as we’d love to have you back!

Jodie Weil, BMO Financial Group, Corporate Dinner, Bar SixtyFive, September 12, 2023, Guitar Trio

Thank you so much for everything! It was an absolute pleasure working with you guys and we will have to find out about that record so that we can be sure to announce it at the next party! Ash loved the band, in fact, he said we should’ve had it longer. You will be the first ones we call to start planning the next one. So happy to have met you.

Chezmin Sheehan, Birthday Party, TAO Downtown Nightclub, Jazz band rental April 12, 2023, Jazz Quintet (Jazz Trumpeter Saxophonist, lead instrument)

Always a pleasure to have Chuck Braman and team in the house! I could listen to their smooth jazz all night! How great to be back in person and to have this long standing relationship with such great musicians!

Allison Thomson, Comment on LinkedIn, July 18, 2022,  Guitar Trio

Thank you so much for a beautiful performance. The guests had an amazing time. I will recommend you to others. Thank you for making my day even more awesome.

Christina Barone, Thank-you Note, Wedding, June 24, 2022, Vocal Trio (Jazz Vocaist, lead instrument)

You all were fantastic. I can't tell you how many people we spoke with who just loved the jazz throughout the reception.

Lane Wilson, Thank-you Note, Wedding, May 28, 2022,  Saxophone Quartet (Jazz Saxophonist, lead instrument)

My heart is full of gratitude for your presence at yesterday’s celebration of my dad’s life. He would have loved it! It would’ve been “right up his alley”. Everyone there who knew him so well was blown away by the music and how fitting it was for my dad. It was perfect and magical. And you, yourself, are an amazingly warm and kind man. It still amazes me that I found you online. I think my father may have had something to do with it! ; )

Geri Tepedino, Thank-you Note, Memorial Service, Jazz band rental March 5, 2022; Saxophone Quartet (Jazz Saxophonist, lead instrument)

You Paul, and Matt made the night very special. Your music pushed the evening out of the realm of “dinner party” and into the realm of “night to remember.” It was wonderful. Thank you for your professionalism and responsiveness throughout the planning process, too. I greatly appreciated your quick responses and how easy you were to work with.

Caitlin Cunnane, Thank-you Note, Birthday Party, March 5, 2022; Guitar Trio (Jazz Guitarist, lead instrument)

I wanted to thank you all personally (one more time) for the incredible music you provided Saturday night at my daughter's wedding reception at the Bowery Hotel. You created the perfect atmosphere with your song selections and sound! I told Chuck how I was absolutely blown away by your collective talent and musicianship. We felt like we hit the jackpot for live music and musicians. Chuck forwarded me your respective websites and information which I forwarded to my daughter and son-in-law (the ones who actually live in NYC). So I'm sure they'll be coming to see you at a future gig in the city—so they can brag to their friends how each of you played at "their" wedding. I hope we can do it again somewhere down the road. I wish you all continued success & happiness with your musical careers.

Jim Prunetti, Father, Thank-you note, Wedding, The Bowery Hotel, November 21, 2021, Guitar Quartet (Jazz Guitarist, lead instrument)

Thank you again for all you did on Friday! It was such a pleasure to work with you. Hope to work together again soon.

Natalya Groysman, Wedding, Lamb’s Hill, September 6, 2021; Thank-you note; Vocal Quintet (Jazz Vocalist, lead instrument)

You’re just good people who are great at what you do and don’t have egos. I really appreciate that in all walks of life. Too many people are mediocre at what they do and have egos larger than they should!

Craig Gambardella, Wedding, 90 Acres, February 25, 2020; Thank-you note; Vocal Quartet (Jazz Vocalist, lead instrument)

It was a pleasant and efficient process working with you. If anyone is looking for a live jazz band, I would recommend you without hesitation!

I'm still rather speechless at how amazing our wedding felt for me, and you and your band were a major part of it. Now that we are back from our honeymoon (pardon our delay!), we are hearing our friends sing your praises as well! It's so much fun to relive.  Thank you for making our evening so very special for us. You have been so great to us from the very beginning—a true gentleman, and professional. We were beyond blessed to have you for our evening.

I was just about to email you :) Thank you so much for being part of our wedding. You were a true delight to work with. You and your team made the reception more than just a “brunch.”  The trio was the best part of the entire thing! We could not be happier we chose you. There are not enough words to express our gratitude.

Also, playing the song I wanted to dedicate to German was the icing on the cake! Please give all my gratitude to the pianist! Thank you for the compliments :) but really He was the hero of the hour…
