Black Olive Jazz was a great choice for our New Year's Eve party at Wine Affairs wine bar in San Jose. We have limited space, so they were very accommodating, making sure the volume level was appropriate. The jazz selections were as promised, Ellington, Gershwin, Waller, and the vocals by Kay Andreas were out of this world. This is a jazz lovers dream band. I recommend hiring this group and/or seeking out their other performance dates. They are truly a group not to be missed. Wine Affairs 1435 The Alameda, San Jose 408-977-0111

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 26, 2008•From Healdsburg, CA

Kay of Black Olive Jazz referred me to a piano player she plays with, Si Perkoff who in turn brought a bass player and a drummer. I wanted older style up beat Jazz and they were perfect. The guests really enjoyed the music. It was mostly mood music til later when several people started to dance and the band caught on and played appropriate music for the dancing. We all really enjoyed them!!

All my guest had such an amazing time and the Black Olive Jazz band made it such a memorable night! Thank you so much for everything! I could not have asked for anything more! I hope to work with you again in the future!

Kay is awesome! She was willing to work with us, according to our budget. All the songs they did were upbeat and in theme with our holiday party. Definitely pick Black Olive Jazz for your next large scale event.

Whoever is planning a party should have the Black Olive Jazz Band play for them. They were exquisite and fun to listen to. They put you in a good party mood. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Kay, Beth, Benny and Carla for coming to my Easter Party. You are all such a delight. Be well. Lydia and Craig

They were perfect. The musicians played beautifully, Kay sang beautifully, the music was perfect for the situation, and they accomodated our small space and last minute changes to their hours with no problem. Fantastic performers and great to work with. I highly recommend them!
