Feedback
- Ms. Jenny Davis arrived with her Keyboard artist and Bass player. They quickly setup first class audio equipment and then, by invitation, mixed with the audience while awaiting time for their performance. We immediately surmised we were in for a Grand Performance, and she did not let us down. Her selection was perfect, her delivery flawless, her choice of professional musicians outstanding. We wanted a Great Jazz performance by a lead Female vocalist with extraordinary musical support and we got more than that.. We got JAZZ, classic JAZZ. Her keyboard man's solo breaks were always followed by applause. She closed to a standing ovation. Jenny is as good as they get! -- Dennis W, Bellevue, WA, 10/24/2007
- We thoroughly enjoyed the performance by the Jenny Davis Jazz band for our wedding. They showed up early, were extremely friendly, and played all the best songs we wanted to hear! They were super accommodating when we needed anything and couldn't have been better people to work with. Jenny Davis' voice was amazing! Everyone can not stop talking about the band that Jenny put together. Incredible group of musicians! Jenny Davis was the one and only choice for us and we could not be happier with our choice to book them. I would recommend them to ANYONE! Super classy and tremendous people. -- Zack M, Seattle, WA, 10/21/2007
