TESTIMONIALS
"A girl's wedding is one of the most important days of her life, and hiring Jerrod's band to play at our cocktail hour was one of the best decisions I made. Like every girl, I wanted our celebration to be memorable--Jerrod and his band where absolutely the answer. They were easy to work with (something VERY important to a bride who is in the middle of planning a party for 200 people!), and their performance was stellar. During and after the wedding, I was repeatedly complimented on how classy the music was at the cocktail hour. Jerrod and his band set the perfect mood for the room and helped our guests have a great time. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for any wedding--or other event!"
-Mindy, Married June 7th, 2008

"… The quality and genuine style more than anything else really puts this trio notches above the rest. They have a presence and everyone takes notice. They are also extremely sound sensitive; where they know when a room is full they can bring it out a level and vice-versa. They have a repertoire that keeps everyone peaked. I love having these guys - they do wonders."
-Robert Margolis, Proprietor GW Tavern, Washington Depot

"The Jerrod Cattey Trio is one of our most requested bands. They play jazz with a mature sound far beyond their years. The musicians always play well-balanced music that fits the audience and the room"
-Rich Lucas, Bosc Kitchen and Wine Bar, Avon

• The Jerrod Cattey group was terrific and I am glad that they were able to make an appearance at Trinity Collge. If anyone is looking for a Brazilian Jazz band, I would definitely recommend Jerrod Cattey and his group. -- Christina W, Hartford, CT, 9/19/2010
• The Jerrod Cattey Group performed at our open house holiday party, at a celebration of our business's new office space. The entire group was professional - playing the type of music we had discussed at a volume appropriate for the space and crowd. I had a number of compliments of the music, and would highly recommend these musicians. I can easily see the group be a great option not only for our type of office/corporate event, but for cocktail party, a restaurant band, a wedding cocktail hour or (with the larger group) a full wedding band. -- Kara M, Portland, CT, 12/9/2010
• The Jerrod Cattey Group is amazing! Not only did they accomodate my request on such short notice, their professionalism, awesome personalities, and outstanding talent made our corporate summer bbq a huge success. Thank you so much! -- Erica O, New Haven, CT, 7/15/2011
• Jerrod Cattey Group was a classy trio that fit our wedding cocktail hour perfectly. I missed most of the cocktail hour but I heard they were classy, professional, and great musicians. We were looking for background music for a cocktail hour and they performed that role perfectly - nothing over the top. I asked my family for some feedback - they described them as very personable. My mother in law said they were fantastic - great musicians. We had an outdoor cocktail hour and they were able to work with the wedding coordinator to set up out of the way but in an area that created a nice scene to watch. Hotel guests frequently stopped to watch how good they were -- Stephen C, Westbrook, CT, 7/30/2011
