"Portrait in Jazz did a great job to add an exciting and elegant dimension to an outdoor birthday party of about 45 people. I found the contact person, Brad, very knowledgeable and accommodating in both putting together the repertoire and playing requests. It was obvious to the guests that the musicians were very skilled and enthusiastic and played well together. They killed it. The evening was a memorable evening for all guests due in no small measure to Portrait In Jazz."

"Brad's group, Portrait in Jazz, brought a thoroughly engaging set to our library; one which was enthusiastically received by our many guests in attendance. While completely open to playing standards, we were treated to an entire hour of original pieces that highlighted the skills of each musician in the quintet. The conversations between the flugelhorn and the saxophone were in turns playful, endearing, and always original. Brad's skillful guitar playing nodded to Wes Montgomery with creative phrasing and Brad's own distinct electric flavor. The drummer was first class, and the bassist provided a solid foundation for the grooves. These guys played very welcoming, creative music, epitomizing the best of this classic American art form.
Based on the positive feedback I have heard from many in attendance, I will not hesitate to invite this dynamic group to perform once again for one of our future concert series."
