Trish Fanara & the Maynard Jazz Fest Committee
"As a member of the Maynard Jazz Fest committee, I had the pleasure of working with Portrait in Jazz for our 2024 festival. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Band leader Brad Ellenberg was incredibly easy to work with - his communication was prompt, clear, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The band arrived well prepared, presented themselves with the utmost professionalism, and delivered a performance that was both engaging and enjoyable for our audience. Portrait in Jazz brought great energy and musicianship to the festival!"

"Portrait in Jazz is perfect. First, they are a group of experienced, talented musicians who play a huge variety of jazz pieces with skill and class! All of my guests -- everyone of the 50 or so people--commented that the group made the night. We asked Brad (who was the point person) to play one hour cocktail/background music; one hour dinner and eating music; and the last hour dance music. Brad really listens and divided the music and mood exactly the way we wanted it. He consistently told us he could adjust to our guests' wishes--and he did lowering volume when needed. What a wonderful gig. Hire this band and you won't go wrong. Everyone will be delighted. Bravo!"
