Feedback

  • We received nothing but compliments on this group from both my leadership and general members. :) -- John A, San Francisco, CA, 3/19/2011
  • When I heard their sample tracks, I knew it was the perfect band for our event. They were great to work with, and the guests at the party (as well as my bosses) really liked their music. I will definitely hire them again. -- Michael H, San Francisco, CA, 6/23/2011
  • The Pocket Trio were excellent at our event. They were extremely accomidating to the time schedule and were nothing but professional. In addition, they were reasonably priced and extremely talented. I would not hesitate to hire them again, or recommend them to anyone else looking for a solid three piece jazz band. Two thumbs up! -- Todd K, San Anselmo, CA, 7/23/2011
  • What a night! Our event was highlighted by the exceptional performance of Pocket Trio. Firstly, the trio lead (Surya) was very professional from the start. I never felt uncertain as to how the trio would manage logistics of event location. Arriving on time, they set up and the party started. Everyone was impressed by the great sound and their appearance. It was perfect in every way. I highly recommend Pocket Trio and I will definately invite them back again at another event, as well as recommend. Great job Pocket Trio!!! A 5 star in every catagory. -- Steve R, San Francisco, CA, 1/12/2012
