Feedback

  • Overall very professional. We recieved a lot of praise on how well they preformed and would not hesitate to book them again!! -- Shawna L, Denver, CO, 12/9/2011
  • The Deborah Stafford Swing Trio was excellent. The band arrived early to set up and then even stayed to play a couple of extra songs. I couldn't have asked for anything better. They really focused on our crowd and played songs accordingly. Deborah accomidated for us greatly. Our crowd was really pleased with the band. It was just right. I would definetly ask the band to come again. They were wonderful. -- Stacy A, Centennial, CO, 4/19/2009
  • We were so thrilled to hire Deborah Stafford and her Jazz Quartet for our daughter's wedding reception, last weekend. Deborah provided just the right sound and ambiance for our early afternoon event. We only requested two special songs be performed and let the band do what they do best for the rest of the afternoon. This worked out very well for us. I highly recommend the Deborah Stafford Jazz Quartet. -- Terry L, Lyons, CO, 6/16/2007
  • Deb was a class act giving us exactly what we hoped for. Thanks Deb you were such a big part of the positive atmosphere at The Parlour's Christmas party! Thanks, Mary -- Mary G, Boulder, CO, 12/9/2006
  • We were extremely pleased with Deborah Stafford and her band. I would definitely have her back for an encore performance. Also, I was impressed with how easily Gigmasters helped me arrange the perfect entertainment for our party -- thank you! -- Michael B, Fort Morgan, CO, 3/25/2006
  • Despite a string of issue on campus in securing a room and consequently a band, Deborah and her group worked with us to make our swing dance a reality. It went off fantastically and several regular swing dancers in the room were exteremly impressed by the skill, personality, and adaptability. I would highly recommend them in any capacity you could want a full jazz sound for. Enjoy the music! -- Benjamin C, Golden, CO, 4/20/2011
