Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 14, 2006•From Washington, VA
Lennie Thomas gave us a wonderful performance. He and his band set the mood for an enjoyable corporate cocktail reception. We've received many positive comments from our guests and will be sure to think of him for future engagements.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 28, 2006•From Washington, DC
Lennie and his partner on the bass provided exactly the atmosphere we wanted for the party in our home - a comfortable, laid back jazz experience. They arrived early, played the full duration arranged (5-10pm), with breaks. Lots of our guests asked for his card.
