CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Putting together a fundraiser for "Fulton County Mental Health Court" was driving me into needing their services. I have used the same pianist for over 20 year but right before the event he retired. Booking Chris Corso for the first time I was a bit apprehensive. I was able to listen to him through Gigmasters and Chris contacted me directly. I will use Chris Corso from now on. He took care of all the details himself I did little but sign a check. His musical talent is beyond question and he was able to read the crowd and virtually knew every song requested. He actually had some of the most stoic up and dancing. I would recommend Chris for ANY event. Jennifer

Chris and the rest of his trio (keyboard, sax/clarinet, bass)were a delight to work with. Chris was an excellent communicator and listened carefully to our requests, both for music selection and volume. He accommodated a special request for music during the ceremony, and the trio did a superb job. His ensemble was very talented, and many people at the party commented on how enjoyable the music was. We would use him again without hesitation. Thanks, Chris!

Chris was wonderful! He played for my mother-in-law's 80th birthday party at my home. Most of the crowd were in their 70's and 80's and they loved hearing music of their generation. He made the younger ones in the crowd wish we were all from that generation.
Chris was very professional and lots of fun. My children loved him! He even sat through my youngest's rendition of Fuzzy Baby Bird and applauded graciously!
We would definitely use Chris again and of course recommend him to everyone.

I had a pianist cancel two days before a surprise party I was planning and was very fortunate to find Chris Corso was available. Chris was very professional, very personable, extremely talented and yet, still humble. He was perfect for the event and fit right in with the guests who not only enjoyed his music, but also speaking with him on a personal level. I had people inquiring before, during and after the party as to where I found him. I'm very thankful the first pianist canceled and would highly recommend Chris as I have no doubt he could fit in with any crowd and add just the right touch to any type of event. An excellent performer and a perfect gentleman, an uncommon combination !

Chris's jazz duo was perfect for my imtimate event at Rhodes Hall. Mine was a second wedding planned in a short timeframe. Chris removed all worry that my music would be perfect. He and his associate are very talented, and so flexible to meet the demands of a bride's last minute decisions! They were the perfect compliment to our event!

Chris and the guys did an excellent job. The main focus of our event was networking. Chris recommended a jazz trio and they played at the right level so that everyone could still talk.
They made the atmosphere of our event PERFECT! I highly recommend Chris for any fuction. He also took care of the details directly with my Convention Services contact at the hotel so that I could take that piece off my plate. As an event planner, that was a huge help to me!
