Noah and his band were perfect for what we needed for the evening. I got nothing but compliments on the music and the vibe they set. I would definitely choose them again.

I don't know that Noah fully comprehended what he was agreeing to when he said yes to being part of our art fair in San Francisco. We needed someone to bring it all: high-quality sound, logistic awareness, and, most importantly, flexibility. And Sueños Jazz Quartet delivered ten-fold. Thanks for sharing your music with us!

Response from Bay Area Jazz & Soul:
Thanks!
These guys were fantastic! They played classic tunes and catered to our Mardi Gras party, playing songs of New Orleans. They were professional and had everyone tapping their feet and clapping their hands. Would absolutely recommend.
Jazz Band
I'm a jazz lover...from Coltrane and Davis to Burrell and Benoit. I've always wanted to have an intimate party at my home with family and friends to experience and enjoy live jazz....so I decided to throw a jazzy little Christmas party.
After receiving several quotes on gigsalad, I listened to samples of each group. At first, I thought I might go with the least expensive quote...from a group that sounded very good. But the Suenos quartet's authentic and soulful sound overtook my economic sensibilities, and for only a bit more dough. So I took a chance.
I was not disappointed!
Noah and his quartet transformed my living room into a swanky 40s style night club! Every musician was brilliant. Several of my friends wanted to know how I found them. They want to plan the next jazz party with Suenos, and so do I.
Thanks for the early Christmas present Suenos!
Merry Christmas,

What to Expect
We offer a classy and very flexible jazz sound. We can play very quiet venues or larger, louder ones. We can play as a duo, trio, quartet, or quintet, and we can add a vocalist. Our sound is perfect as background music while people are eating, or as music for people to dance to.
