• We contracted Mr. Baker to play at my son's wedding on short notice and were lucky he was available on the date we requested. He is extremely professional and worked with the bride and groom in making their day special. He accommodated our requests for certain songs and when he played those first few notes, I knew we had made the right choice. Mr. Baker is a talented musician and I can see why he receives all those accolades. He even asked for the wedding colors so he could dress accordingly! I would certainly recommend Mr. Baker to anyone wanting to add class and a great performance to any event. Thank you Mr. Baker and GigMasters for making dreams come true. -- Linda V, Houston, TX, 10/8/2011

• All I can say about Mr. Baker is he exceeded all my expectations. I had hired Mr. Baker for a small backyard graduation party as a DJ/Saxophone player. I had informed Mr. Baker before hand, that most of my family weren’t dancers but were lovers of good music and as I continue to speak to Mr. Baker I decided that I would leave the entertainment completely in his hands as one’s does when you know you’re speaking to a professional. And may I add I wasn’t disappointed. If you’re looking for a professional, someone who know what need to be done without being told, Mr. Baker is the man. -- Minnie K, Spring, TX, 6/4/2011
• On April 30, 2011 I hired Edmond to perform at my grand opening of my new event planning business.

He was prompt, professionally dressed, and ready to perform..I would recommend him to anyone who wants to hire a professional..His saxophone peformance truly displays a talented individual.

• I called with a request for Edmund to play for my husband's birthday. The challenge was that it was to be just the two of us in a private but somewhat small dining room. Edmund was punctual, professional and was able to accommodate us with the perfect choice of music as well as making it sound wonderful in such a small room, which could not have been easy. Overall, we were very satisfied and would ot only hire Edmund again but strongly recommend him for any event. -- Christina B, Houston, TX, 1/7/2010

Such class! I will be using him again. One suggestion is to increase the selections of music. I found Exceptional Music very easy to book. This was the only vendor that I booked based on reviews and the website. Brian and Nicole German -- Nicole C, Houston, TX, 12/6/2009

He entertained our guests with an elegant intimate jazz session that only a true artist could provide. Edmond’s cd is good, a pure composition of great tracks. He definitely has a signature sound.

• This was my first year planning our company Christmas Party and with all the chaos going on through out the evening Ed was able to come in and set up with little direction. He started right up with some mellow tunes and as the night went on he moved into more up beat music. Throughout dinner he played some traditional Christmas music and it was very easy to enjoy the music and still have a conversation with members of the table. I received many compliments of his beautiful playing. It was a great pleasure to work with Ed and he help make the night a grand success! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who need musical entertainment for an event! -- Angela Z, Houston, TX, 12/6/2007

I'd definitely hire him again and would highly recommend him to anyone else. -- Stacie B, Katy, TX, 12/30/2006
