From start to finish, working with Mike was a pleasure. His communication and level of professionalism were topnotch. I was looking for a jazz trio to perform on our patio in Door County, WI as a surprise for my husbands 60th birthday. Mike, Mark, and Gordon were perfect. The music they provided was exactly what I had hoped for. They were entertaining with just the right amount of volume. Everyone could enjoy them and at the same time hold a conversation. I would hire Mike again in a heartbeat and hope to have him back again soon. I highly recommend Mike Knauf Music.

This quartet was great. They matched with our party perfectly. We're very interested in custom fitting the music to our desires and the mood of the party. We got a nice mix of light classical pop and Jazz. Perfect for our celebration
