I have so many people telling me how AMAZING my wedding was and I am sure Jazz in the Air made ALL the difference. Bob was amazing to work with. Very reliable, understanding and down to earth! The entire band performed amazing! The best part (besides the great, great talent) is that I didnt have to worry about a thing. I spoke to Bob on the phone a couple of times and he just took care of everything! I got to my reception, and all I had to do was enjoy that amazing music. Jazz in the Air, you guys are AWESOME! HIGHLY recommended! Thanks for making my night SO special! -- Lorena F, Medford, MA, 8/7/2010

Bob, kept the line of communication open with me from start to finish, and that paid off with an amazing night. They were very professional, and the music was exactly what we wanted. If you are looking for a way to entertain your guests, and move their heads back and forth then this is the group for you. We would definately hire them again for future events if we need a band. This is a great group, and regardless of what event you are having (wedding or company party) then this is the group for you. -- Georgia A, Boston, MA, 1/16/2010

They arrived early, played a wonderful selection of music including special request, took very short, discreet breaks; and in general did a great great job. We are so happy they were choosen and would highly recommend them. Thank you again Bob, Dave Mike, and Stephanie. You were great.

  • If anyone wants an elegant and sophisticated event, Jazz In The Air is the way to go. They were not only very professional, but also very helpful in making the event run smoothly. We booked them for our wedding & realize that the money we paid was all worth it. I wish I would have worried less before the wedding about their performance. They did an awesome job, and all our guests were impressed. Book them, you won't be disappointed. Trust me! -- Dema L, Derry, NH, 7/11/2009
  • Bob and the band were very pleasant and professional to deal with. From setting up the logisitics of the gig to the actual music, my company and I had a great experience.

I would definitley reccomend them to others. -- Robin P, Boston, MA, 12/19/2008

We asked them to learn a particular song and adapt it in a different style. We were so pleased with how it turned out- exactly as we imagined! They sounded fantastic and everyone had a great time. For such a talented and professional group, I was amazed at how reasonable their rates are. I would definitely recommend Jazz in the Air! -- Nicole M, Barre, MA, 7/31/2010

My wedding reception was lovely and they did a fantastic job catering to my specific requests (they even learned a new song for my first dance!) and were great on the spot accomodating various changes throughout the event. They easily transformed from chill, background music to an upbeat, danceable selection later on -- great variety, talented musicians and exceptionally pleasant individuals. I would highly recommend working with "Jazz in the Air"! -- Elise S, Sudbury, MA, 5/23/2009
