"One week before our event, we found ourselves looking for a Jazz performer for our Employee Quarterly Meeting. Using Gig Masters to source potential groups, we identified Hale as the preferred group based on the stellar reviews and the professionalism of her Web presence. Working with her agent to ensure our expectations were met was a breeze and everyone was accommodating to our schedule.
We were blown away by her performance; her talent is amazing and her presentation phenomenal.
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services highly recommends Hale Baskin and Her Jazz Addiction to anyone looking for a class act to perform at their function. "The best or nothing."

"The band looked and sounded fantastic. Well worth the money spent for the larger big band. Hale was very accommodating, and the band members were not only super nice guys, they were true professionals. Just like I wanted, they played some jazz, some blues, and then later on threw in some soul tunes that kept everyone dancing.
Highly recommended. "

"Fun and professional! Lovely and talented! We knew as soon as we listened to Hale on gig masters that her sound was exactly what we were looking for. We love to do our research though, and after visiting her Facebook page, and speaking with her personally, we discovered she was trustworthy, and had our best interest at heart. She agreed to not only play her set of jazz and swing, but also play our pre-set first dance, and father daughter dance from our I-pod. Hale and her band were friendly, upbeat, and made even the most timid of guests hit the dance floor!
Approachable, talented, and professional. Hale is your lady!

"I hired Hale and four band members for my wedding in Austin, Texas. She had a drummer, bassist, keyboardist, and saxophonist. The entire band sounded amazing and did really well. Hale has a beautiful voice and the saxophonist really stood out with his awesome solos. They were all dressed very nicely and kept the party going. My sister-in-law asked to perform an impromptu song and Hale graciously stepped aside to let her sing. She made all announcements and worked well within the space provided. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding. I still have guests telling me how much fun they had and how great the band was. They are also very reasonably priced! "

"Hale Baskin is incredible! If you listen to her demos on Gigmaster, or her album on itunes - multiply what your hear by 1000. She has an incredible voice. A voice, that when heard live, will make you think you discovered her on Verve Records rather than Gigmasters. Hale sang at our wedding in Yosemite, and my wife and I, as well as our friends, cannot think of another voice that could hold its own in the majesty of such a setting. Hale and her band were just incredible. In the weeks before the wedding, she was completely accessible, and completely accommodating to our requests. She is simply the best!"

"Fil Lorenz orchestra played as a trio on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for our winery's "Music on the Terrace" series. We saw about 1800 people that day and the feedback from guests and staff alike was fantastic. The trio set a an easy yet energetic tone to the day. The big hit was their antique Hammond Organ which set the "60's Soul Jazz and Boogaloo Band" style. Fil recommended this style for our guests and it proved to be the right call. Will definitely have them back for our series next year!

"Hale and the Fil Lorenz orchestra were phenomenal. We did not want a typical "wedding band," and Hale was anything but typical. She and the band were first class all the way through - from the perfect trio cocktail music, to the swinging standards, to the funky dance set at the end. My wife Bea and I would strongly recommend Hale to anyone who is looking for a professional, accommodating, and most of all, talented, group of musicians for their wedding or any other classy affair."

Fil and the members of the orchestra were incredibly accommodating, professional, personable and incredibly talented! Employees and clients alike were extremely complimentary and very entertained! We could all agree we didn't want the festivities to end, and we can attribute a large part of the event's success to the Fil Lorenz Orchestra. We would be more than delighted to work with them again!"

"From the moment of their arrival, Hale and her band were gracious professionals. Just warming up, the band was fantastic and our guests immediately headed for their seats. Hale's performance was fantastic, far surpassing even the great sounds we had heard on her youtube! Because it was an intimate group, Hale and the band performed some of their very favorites and the crowd absolutely loved it! The band is incredible on their own and with Hale's outstanding vocals and energy, it was an impressive performance with everyone totally involved. I absolutely recommend Hale Baskin for anyone who wants great jazz entertainment!"
