• Taimoor Band (formed by Taimoor Saeedi) performed exactly as we most hoped they would when we selected them for our event. After seeing them on Gigmasters we listened to their music on Amazon, selected them, and also bought their music. They arrived when expected, were very professional in their interactions and appearance, and played DIVINELY. They were in every respect just whom you would want for performing live jazz and related music for an event. We very much recommend them and would hire them again, they were GREAT! -- Elizabeth W, Haymarket, VA, 7/2/2011
• The band was FANTASTIC! It really set the tone for our Christmas employee event. We received compliment after compliment for the band. They loved the sound, selection of music, and the passion they displayed in their playing. We would highly recommend the Taimoor Band. Prior to the event, they stayed in contact with us; eliminating any worries or concerns. If we have a party next year, we would not think twice in having them at our event. Thank you for making this our very best party! -- M F, Owings Mills, MD, 12/8/2009

• We booked Taimoor to play at a cocktail party in our home. From start to finish Taimoor was very accomodating and professional. The band arrived early to have everything set up in advance of our guests arriving. The music was perfect for our occasion, and all of the guests thoroughly enjoyed them. Most impressive to me was the quality and talent of the musicians and their music. Everyone was having such a good time that the party went on a little later than we had planned. The band stayed and played to accomodate our guests, which we were very appreciative of. We will definitely book Taimoor again. -- Susan C, Mclean, VA, 10/3/2009

• Great band and simply great to work with. I requested a three piece combo and got a four piece suggested by Taimoor just to enhance the experience. Extremely professional and would use them again. As a matter of fact, I am already planning to use them for another event. They helped to make the celebration memorable and a big success! -- John H, Alexandria, VA, 4/17/2011
