Review by Suzanne K.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on February 22, 2026From Piedmont, CA

I can highly recommend Alexey and his talented musician crew for any event. Our event was last minute and during the week, but he quickly replied with what was available and a quote. His quote was also fair and his reply was more professional than others (and I planned events many years ago so I'm a tough customer). He asked all the right questions to prepare and offered to help with some other tech needs which was so nice. They were on time, looked and perfomed amazing, and they were just the nicest people. It was a stressful event and Alexey. was so easy and incredible. I look forward to hiring him in the future and recommend him highly.

The Turnaround Jazz Trio & Quartet:

Wow, thank you for the kind words Suzanne! You were great to work with, and in spite of the pressures of the event you were very kind and made us all feel welcome. Thank you again for having us!

Review by Alyssa J.

Grand OpeningReviewed on June 26, 2025From Berkeley, CA

The Turnaround Jazz Trio performed at the grand opening of The Ivy at Berkeley, and they were fantastic! Their smooth, stylish sound brought the perfect mix of energy and elegance to the event. They played a great selection of jazz standards and instrumental favorites that really connected with our audience - residents, families, and staff all loved the music. You could feel the joy and passion in every note, and their professionalism made working with them a breeze. The Turnaround Jazz Trio didn’t just entertain, they created an atmosphere that truly elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend them for any event where quality, charm, and great music matter!
