Feedback

  • Bob Sabourin and "Jazz in the Air" were fantastic to work with! They were easy to communicate with during and prior to the event, and were both professional and very pleasant! My wedding reception was lovely and they did a fantastic job catering to my specific requests (they even learned a new song for my first dance!) and were great on the spot accomodating various changes throughout the event. They easily transformed from chill, background music to an upbeat, danceable selection later on -- great variety, talented musicians and exceptionally pleasant individuals. I would highly recommend working with "Jazz in the Air"! -- Elise S, Sudbury, MA, 5/23/2009
  • We were extremely pleased with Jazz in the Air and would recommend them to anyone!! They were everything we had asked for, absolutely perfect, very accomodating, made sure during the eveing that everything was to our liking...we could not have asked for anyone better! Thank you!! -- Lisa S, Newport, RI, 6/19/2008
  • Bob and the band were very pleasant and professional to deal with. From setting up the logisitics of the gig to the actual music, my company and I had a great experience. They played for us at a Holiday Party at the Taj Boston downtown and they were exactly what we were looking for-- classic jazz standards that really set the tone for the evening. I would definitley reccomend them to others. -- Robin P, Boston, MA, 12/19/2008
  • We found Bob and the musicians he brought to be talented, and very professional. They read the room well and gave us the intimate jazz club vibe we were looking for. They definitely helped make my son's wedding a fabulous time. Everyone called to tell us how much they enjoyed the music. I would definitely recommend them.. Linda and David Yanofsky -- Linda Y, Marblehead, MA, 5/4/2008
  • If anyone wants an elegant and sophisticated event, Jazz In The Air is the way to go. They were not only very professional, but also very helpful in making the event run smoothly. We booked them for our wedding & realize that the money we paid was all worth it. I wish I would have worried less before the wedding about their performance. They did an awesome job, and all our guests were impressed. Book them, you won't be disappointed. Trust me! -- Dema L, Derry, NH, 7/11/2009
  • Jazz in The Air was just fantastic! They set the exact tone I was looking for at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Perfectly professional, impeccably played - I could not be more pleased. Thank you to Bob Sabourin and Jazz in The Air!! -- Jill J, Salem, MA, 9/26/2009
  • We could not be happier with the experience of hiring Jazz in the Air for our wedding. It was a very intimate event and they fit the atmosphere incredibly well. They were very talented and truly seemed to enjoy themselves, as well as our guests enjoying them. I would give them the highest recommendation, and will hire them again!! -- Vanessa N, Newton, MA, 6/28/2008
  • I hired Jazz In The Air as a jazz duo for an educational event and I could not have been happier. They were incredibly professional and knew exactly what to do - not to mention very talented. I would definitely recommend them or hire them for another occasion. -- Sara C, Boston, MA, 5/20/2009
