Graduation Party•Reviewed on May 31, 2026•From Bountiful, UT
Frederik did an outstanding job. His level of knowledge of the jazz greats and compositions is unparalleled. He has a good sense of what's happening during ceremonies and how to blend in for the perfect entertainment during the event. You can't go wrong by booking him. We will book him for future events.

Ivan, thank you for your kind and heartfelt review. It was an honor to perform solo jazz piano at your son's high school graduation party with honors and a full scholarship to the University of Utah. I had a great time playing the Steinway Baby Grand piano and meeting your wonderful family and friends. Best Regards, Jazz Pianist Frederick James McCray

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 11, 2024•From Draper, UT
Frederick was amazing. He was able to easily adapt to the room as our party shifted and grew through the night. Perfect dynamics for conversation without competition, but also very rewarding for those who just wanted to listen. Thanks for a playing a big part in a wonderful night!

Dallin, I had a wonderful time entertaining you and your guests for your 50th Birthday celebration, which had a 1920s prohibition theme. You, your family, and your guests were great. Thanks for making me a part of your celebration.

Restaurant Event•Reviewed on February 27, 2016•From Salt Lake City, UT
Frederick has been wonderful. He has a way of controlling the ambiance to absolute perfection. Never too loud for guests to hold a conversation but loud enough for everyone to enjoy. We have used him multiple times and he is always such a pleasure to work with. He engages with guests and they all love him as well. We have been so lucky to have him play for us. Truly is a remarkable pianist.

Frederick was a delight to work with in every aspect. He made contact prior to the party to check on details of dress, music preferences, and directions and he nailed all of those to perfection. He is delightful, amazingly talented, and I would hire him again without hesitation.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 30, 2010•From Salt Lake City, UT
Mr. McCray is a very talented musician and a personable and thoughtful performer. My guests loved interacting with him and most everyone at the party asked "where did you find him", as they were so impressed. One of my cousins, herself an accomplished pianist, jammed with Mr. McCray and said it was the most fun she had experienced in a long time. There was always a crowd around him, and the music, during dinner never got in the way of conversation.
I am extremely pleased with Mr. McCray in every aspect and would definitely call him again.
