Dr. Lent was an excellent addition to our event. He was extremely professional, flexible, and talented. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking to book a pianist.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 12, 2009•From Laguna Beach, CA

What a special atmosphere James created for our party! The sound of beautiful music filling our home made for a truly exceptional evening. His great training, technical ability and musicality are unquestionably superior. We couldn't have asked for more. We hope to have him back the next time we have a special occasion to celebrate.

James is a total pro and made the whole experience easy, fun and stress free. He's extremely punctual, accommodating and has a enormous catalog of songs memorized in his head. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on January 3, 2009•From Rancho Mirage, CA

Thank you, Gigmasters, for the opportunity to hire such an accomplished pianist. James was the hit of the party. The anniversary couple was delighted to have James playing the whole night. As one gues said a few days later "it was a magical night". Another wrote "Going to a party at your place is like going to a concert. Your pianist is a talented musician, and Good Looking, too!" James played a variety of music and began singing towards the end of the party, extending the stay of many guests, and bringing the crowd together through a singalong, which just enhanced this special occasion. James Lent would turn any party into "the party of the year"

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 14, 2008•From Whitefish, MT

Despite a change of dates, below zero temperatures, and arriving flight problems, James was cheerful, composed, and played beautifully for our private party! Many guests commented that his music "made" the event, and I have to agree. After dinner, during which he played all of our favorite showtunes, we spent the evening dancing and closed with several rousing choruses of Christmas carols. He continued playing as our guests were slowly filing out and provided just the right ambience. His quiet personality, yet very personable, along with his ability to play such a variety of music, and to play it WELL, was exactly what we were desiring. VERY pleased.

Review by Judy B.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 13, 2008•From Yorba Linda, CA

We were very satisfied with every aspect of our James Lent booking, from pre-event communication, to his early arrival and set up, professional appearance and his flexibility to extend for one hour. He is a great pianist and accomodated our requests for classical music during our wedding ceremony and romantic party music for our back yard reception. He also recommended singer Jennifer who had a beautiful voice and worked well with him. Additionally, our communications with Gigmaster have been excellent. (Sara and Victoria) We would definitely use Gigmaster services again. Thanks, Judy Burton

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 9, 2008•From Los Angeles, CA

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 14, 2008•From Santa Barbara, CA

I feel a little silly filling out this form because I never had any doubt that James would be ideal for this event. I'm just thanking my lucky stars that he was available. Even before he played a note his energy was positive and supportive and I would invite him to any event even if he were not playing the piano. There are great pianists everywhere but it's a rare find when you encounter one with as much charisma and personality as James. I can't possibly count to 675 so I better stop now before I run out of characters.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 29, 2008•From Rancho Cucamonga, CA

We can't praise James highly enough. He is amazingly talented and a dream to work with. He was very responsive to our request for a sing-along type of program for our 50th anniversary celebration. Our friends were totally impressed. Not only with the music for the songs we sang but with other music he chose to entertain while we ate. Thanks in a large part to James Lent our party was an unqualified success. We're confident that other requests will be coming to James from our friends.

Community Event•Reviewed on March 17, 2008•From Beverly Hills, CA

James is an astounding pianist of the highest caliber. Having worked with many accompanists from coast to coast, he is one of the very BEST collaborators. This put me at ease performing Rachmaninoff's monumental Piano Concerto #3, knowing James would totally support me and help me shine as soloist, the most important aspect of any accompanist. I thank him for his brilliant playing. - Chloe Pang

Christening•Reviewed on December 28, 2007•From Redondo Beach, CA

James presence at my house was for a holiday party, not for a christening as Gigmasters seems to believe. He played with great style and flare, delighting my guests. I would certainly have him back and recommend him to anyone with musical tastes above the banal.

Awards Night Party•Reviewed on December 8, 2007•From Long Beach, CA

Our group loved Mr. Lent and his musical presentation. He did a great job blending in a Christmas flavor with his performance as well as including something for the younger children present. Thanks again!

Review by Paul S.

Fraternity Function•Reviewed on November 11, 2007•From Rancho Mirage, CA

Not much more I can say about James, except that all my friends now know what a brilliant pianist he is. James always puts his best effort into pleasing the crowd, with over 500 songs that he can play by memory. Also has back up books in case someone asks for something obscure. And I can say he is definitely a Master at what he does.
