Harrison Jazz Ensemble

We are an apartment community called Oasis at Crosstown. This week was Resident Appreciation Week and we hosted a Poolside Jazz event with Harrison Jazz Ensemble. The residents had such a great time! Within the hour, we were already receiving feedback from residents asking about the next time we'll be hosting a Jazz event. Jerry and Carl were kind and so talented and we are eager to have them back. I'd highly recommend looking into booking with this group as we definitely will again in the near future.

The band was just perfect. Roger was easy to communicate with and it ended up being everything we wanted. They really contributed to the magic of our night.

I had them play for my 40th birthday and I couldn’t have asked for better entertainment. They added such a classy ambiance that was entertaining but didn’t get in the way of talking. Everyone enjoyed them and couldn’t stop telling me how cool they were. They were super kind, professional, and, oh, I hey even played me happy birthday! I wasn’t planning on anything big for my next birthday but I might have to reconsider so I can invite them back! Thanks again for elevating my birthday and making it the best it could be.

While I appreciated Roger's communication upfront, we asked for New Orleans Jazz Upbeat Entertainment. What we got was slow lounge music that cleared the room early in the first hour. Not one person ever danced on the dance floor. There wasn't anything New Orleans about the music except the first 5 minutes where we did a parade line. Then everything was New York Lounge. Slow and dreary music. Nothing that we asked for. And Roger not being there made things worse. I had no one to communicate my issue with.

Roger is awesome to work with, super communicative, timely and professional. He was able to provide all details upfront, worked with me to finalize all details and then knocked it out of the park on the event day. The band sounded awesome! Everyone was so happy to hear them play, very very lucky to have this group at our wedding. Thank you Roger & Band!

Roger and his group provided perfect entertainment for my husband’s birthday party. They were a lot of fun and were very patient and flexible. Thanks to the Harrison Jazz Ensemble!

Everyone loved the band!. We booked the band for our Mom's 90th birthday party. The singer was very engaging with the audience as well as personalizing songs for my mom. I felt as though they went over and beyond my expectations.

Harrison Jazz Ensemble did a great job at the community event! Thank you!

Coming from a Jazz/professional music family, and after listening to a few of the Harrison Trio’s tunes on-line, as well as speaking with Roger, I booked the group for my sister’s 60th Birthday Brunch. They were perfect for our intimate setting. They “made” our event! The guys were laid-back, professional (not to mention personal and friendly)and their music was amazing! It was the highlight of the Birthday Weekend! Thank you guys!

I cannot begin to say enough about how thrilled we were to have the Harrison Jazz Ensemble. They were timely, professional, courteous and were very receptive to our ask in what we were looking for the event. We will without question be using this group in the future at similar events.

Great Personality

Roger Harrison's band was professional, classy and gave me the touch I was looking for. I highly recommend.

I'm so happy to have found Roger and his partner thx to gigsalad. They were able to come out the very next day for an "emergency" surprise performance for my fiancé who is undergoing medical treatment. What a special treat for both of us and I would love to bring him back to perform when we get to other side!

Roger is such a talented musician. His voice and music selection was on point. Everyone in our community loved his music with dinner and social hours. We look forward to hiring him again! 👍

We held a Celebration of Life for my sister and the quartet version of the Harrison Jazz Ensemble was a great addition to the party. They played exactly the kind of music I was looking for and at just the right volume that allowed for conversation. Roger and the rest of the band were extremely professional, arrived early, and provided just what I was looking for, two hours of fine mainstream jazz from the American Songbook, although they are capable of playing any style of Jazz.

Love him!!!

Great job, Roger

Recently booked Roger and his band for a corporate reception my company was hosting. After listening to some of the Harrison Jazz Ensemble's music samples online, I knew the group would be the perfect fit for our event.

To say that I was pleased would be an understatement! Everything -- from the booking process, communication leading up to the event, and the group's performance at our reception -- went seamlessly. They played beautifully and were the perfect complement to our event.

I would absolutely recommend and keep them in mind for another professional or private event.
