Booking Jazz Kings for my special event was an incredible experience. They truly went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable. The music selection was a hit with my guests, and it quickly became the highlight of the evening. I received so many compliments on their phenomenal performance. I would definitely love to hire them again in the future!

Bob and his accompanying members of Jazz Kings Music were outstanding.
After I submitted my inquiry, Bob reached out immediately and took the time to explain what he is able to provide and find out if that is the right fit for my needs. He was very clear about what he does and was willing to provide references if the fit wasn't right.
Luckily Jazz Kings Music is exactly what I was looking for. They arrived on time, and were able to work with the small space I had. They played wonderfully, and my guests were raving about the music all night.
I would absolutely book Jazz Kings Music again and will not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.

I had an exceptional experience with Bob Gracin. He and his associate helped make my husband's birthday celebration a memorable affair! He listened to my requests as to type of music I wanted and kept the volume moderate so we could all talk over lunch . I will definitely recommend him to all my friends. Kathryn Bordoley

My experience with Bob was no less than remarkable. Bob spent hours helping me prepare and plan a surprise proposal to my fiancé in a park setting. He had multiple phone calls with me prior helping me work out details and calm my nerves with positive reinforcement. Bob not only came hours early to ensure a good set up, but took a Sunday evening the week prior to familiarize himself with the environment. Lastly, but certainly not least, Bob's talent and performance quality was certainly first-class. He was able to play the instrumental we are talking down the aisle to as well as an obscure song by the Moody Blues at request. The sound quality in this unique outdoor setting was absolutely perfect.
I could not recommend Bob more for someone looking to make a magical event and can't thank him enough for making such a meaningful memory for myself and fiancé for the rest of our lives.

Bob Garcin performance was amazing. He is a very good person to communicate with and he made sure he knew exactly what type of music I wanted and he delivered. He made my birthday one of the best days of my life. Me and my family truly enjoyed him. He was on time and had all his equipment setup and ready to go for my event. He’s energy was just phenomenal. Bob was truly the best. Thanks Bob❤️
