Samuel was perfect for my 40th birthday party. Exceptional player, very professional, really made my party very special. Thank you Samuel!

Sam was so easy to organise the wedding music with from start to finish. Not so much as a raised eyebrow at the specific (and very particular) repertoire choices and flexibility throughout. Would really recommend to anyone looking to book some high-quality jazz!

"Great reliable player, music always appreciated by customers and guests"
