Feedback

  • They were professional, on time and presentable. The music was outstanding. We are extremely happy and would highly recommend them. Couldn't be happier. -- Giovanna R, Paterson, NJ, 12/17/2011
  • For my proposal, I wanted to have a saxophonist and vocalist in a limo for a private concert. After I placed the request on Gigmasters, I was promptly contacted by Elliot, Tut's manager. Not only was Elliot incredibly professional, but he went above and beyond to also recommend a guitarist, Dave Rosenthal. Tut and Dave gifted us with a magical performance. They played my setlist and improvised additional songs as well. Tut is a smooth character worthy of his New Orleans background. He can play very sensual jazz, upbeat pop, romantic interludes, you name it and he'll delight your ear as his saxophone serenades you. I highly recommend Tut for any performance. -- Karl J, Manhattan, NY, 5/1/2011
  • It was a REAL PLEASURE having this talented band perform at my party. Everyone that made a comment about the entertainers on stage said something positive. The bandleader Mr. Tut Burks is a young man with immense talent and will rise to the top as time goes by. I loved their singer.She was wonderful.Sankofa Soul's performance was so good that 3 of my relatives wants them to play at future parties for them.I say catch them while you can because they are blasting off & heading for the stars. You can bet that I will hire them again. -- Larry B, Melville, NY, 11/28/2009
