DESCRIPTION:
Some of the hottest jazz players on the East Coast - veterans of the Woody Allen band at Michael's Pub and the Red Onion band at the Cajun - can turn your special event into a happening bursting with great music, rhythm and energy. They bring the pulse of old New Orleans to life...from the sounds of Louis Armstrong and King Oliver to the excitement of Chicago during the Jazz Age. Everything from the great traditional jazz standards and swing tunes to ballads and blues will get dancers dancing and feet tapping. Among our reviews:
...'some fine Bix-influenced cornet solos by the leader Mike Stein.'
...'There is an appealing balance between the gruff, full-bodied
trombone of Dick Dreiwitz and the joyful bubbling bounce of Joe
Licari's clarinet.'
...'Barbara Dreiwitz (tuba) played on the sound track of the Woody
Allen film 'Sleeper.''
...'Alan Cary (banjo) is a delight vocally and instrumentally.'

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
My husband and I were positively thrilled with the Wildcats, from beginning to end. Planning our wedding was such a hectic experience, but Mike Stein was thoroughly professional, dependable and helpful throughout the planning process. We wanted a "New Orleans Jazz/Garden wedding" in our own backyard, and the Wildcats perfectly set the tone. They read the crowd instinctively, and everyone enjoyed the music so much! My husband wanted to serenade me with a Fats Waller tune on his trombone, and the Wildcats helped him plan and execute this "dream" of his. Really, the Wildcats were just perfect, and we recommend them without reservation!

Mike Stein was extremely accomodating, a gentleman and seasoned musician, not a salesman from the beginning which was much appreciated. The talent of the band was exceptional. The party attendees, especially my father, whose birthday we were celebrating, were delighted. I was thrilled that I could find a band in the Dixieland genre. I would recommend the Wildcat Jazz Band uniequivocally.

The Wildcat Jazz band was very professional and pleasant to work with. Our client was very happy with their performance. "The Wildcat Jazz Band did an outstanding job entertaining our guests." says Diane Connor for the Disney movie premiere of Deja Vu.
I just want to thank you for the enjoyment of having your band the Wildcats perform at our World Premiere of "DEJA VU"
at Roseland in New York.
Everyone enjoyed the sounds, people came early and stayed late - always a good sign for an after party.
I even saw Jon Voight doing the second line dance with some folks right down in front !
Your outfit was a pleasure to work with, the sound had exactly the right feel for what we were trying to create as the atmosphere and we look forward to doing it again some time.
Please thank all the guys and gal and send them our Holiday regards.
I'll be sure to let Mike Dixon and Gigmasters know you were consumate pros.
My warmest regards,

Wildcat Jazz Band played for the two hour cocktail reception we had at our wedding. We rented Metrazur's balconies overlooking New York's Grand Central Station main concourse. Having lived in New Orleans in the past and heard numerous dixieland jazz groups this group was everything we were looking for. My wife, who admitedly was apprehensive, wanted a more standard jazz band but Wildcat mixed in some standards as well and read the crowd well. In the end she, as well as many others, were amazed how well it worked. A very festive and celebratory way to start off the evening. My only regret is not having them play after dinner as the DJ we hired was a nightmare and played every cheezy wedding reception song in the book despite our prior direction. We highly reccomend them. Peter & Nora - New York City - 9/16/06

The band was absolutely fantastic. There's no one better! The happy music they played put a smile on the faces of everyone all night long and since the wedding all our guests have commented on how wonderful the band was. They couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks for helping to make the night such a success!
Best wishes,
Kate and Luke Spencer
