Feedback

  • f you're looking for the consumate trio (piano, bass, drums) for your event, look no further than Greg Lamont. Mr. Lamont handled our entire event - from start to finish - like a true professional. Moreover, in terms of musical ability, you won't find a better group anywhere. The talent of this group amazed me - and I've heard the best. Finally, they took every request in stride. Professionally dressed, they arrived on time, and we practically had to beg them to take a break. They really enjoy performing. -- Karyl G, Washington, DC, 1/31/2009
  • The Greg Lamont Trio was fantastic at our wedding! We love the originality and energy in their sound. I am a musician and wanted to avoid schmaltzy background music: they were perfect. They are high caliber musicians and brought so much life to the party. Greg was excellent in communication at every step, and they were completely reliable and really wonderful people to work with. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking top-notch jazz musicians with personality! -- Yvonne W, Alexandria, VA, 5/30/2009
  • The Greg Lamont trio set the perfect classy tone for our wedding reception. Their sound and style was smooth, rich, and fun all at the right moments. My guests and family loved it and said the jazz trio is what made the entire evening. Thanks guys! -- Christy H, Haymarket, VA, 7/31/2009
