Ben Harris and his piano accompanist were fabulous. We had asked for soft jazz during a two-hour reception and that's exactly what Ben delivered, except it was more than we expected. Thank you Ben for complimenting our event!

On Wednesday evening, June 29, 2016 the members of Southwest National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials were entertained and serenaded by the sweet smooth jazz of the Ben Harris Jazz Trio. Ben's full set was exceptional and had our whole group swaying to the music. The group was prompt and accommodated our mid-evening event. I would highly recommend Ben Harris Jazz for any performance in the future. Keep thumping that bass Ben!!!
Response from Ben Harris Jazz:
Thank you David and all of the South West Housing Group Officials for the opportunity to entertain your group!
