• Aki Yambe opened our holiday evening for a one hour cocktail party and, honestly, it was like having dessert first! He and his duo associate arrived early for set up, looked terrific, sounded terrific and added tremendously to the evening's festivities. Mr. Yambe is a truly gifted musician, as is his vocalist, and party guests were mesmerized by their sound. Aki Yanbe is a quintessential professional, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly. -- Jill W, Woodland Hills, CA, 12/14/2008

• Aki and his partner provided exactly the right ambiance for my wedding reception and were fantastic to work with. The music and musicianship were superb! Definitely recommended. -- Christopher A, Pasadena, CA, 12/15/2007
• Aki Yambe was exceptional. In addition to truly outstanding communication and a great price, they were extremely talented! Everyone at the reception raved about the music. Both the guitar playing and vocals were perfect! The mix of jazz they chose was the perfect balance for the evening. You were often pulled into a song that caught your attention, but it was never so overpowering that you could not be pulled right back into a conversation with a friend. It was PERFECT! -- David K, Valencia, CA, 9/29/2007

We entertained a lot of adults that day so this was the perfect background music! They played many american standards from Cole Porter and Gershwin - it was fabulous! I would definitely hire them again for my parties! Nice sound and the vocalist had a very beautiful voice! -- Patti P, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 4/14/2007
