• Jesse and his partner, a female singer, were amazing! Showed up on time, met all of my special requests...he should charge 100 times the price. The only down side was the speaker...it didn't do them justice. Highly recommend and will book them again. -- Stacey E, Greenwich, CT, 6/17/2007
• I hired Jesse Elder Quintet to perform during the cocktail hour for my June 9th wedding on Long Island. Throughout the planning, Jesse was very responsive to my emails and requests. Unfortunately, I did not get to hear as much of the quintet as I would have liked since they played at my cocktail hour (which I was only able to attend a portion of). However, numerous guests had commented on the 'talented jazz band' at our cocktail hour. Overall, I was very satified with the band's professionalism and talent! Thanks Jesse! -- Regina G, Woodbury, NY, 6/9/2007
