Vocal, keyboard, flute, percussion, electric jazz box & nylon guitars sounding like a trio, who are well-versed in knowing how to dazzle audiences. You and your guests can rest assured that Jazz van Gogh has what it takes to enhance your special event.
Jon and Susan played for my husband’s Birthday dinner as a surprise and they were not only a delight to work with, everyone loved their music and they created such a fun atmosphere. Thank you!
Jon and Susan create a great and beautiful ambience for an event, with their beautiful music. They played flute and guitar at my sister’s wedding and everyone raved about them. I have attended many events where they have played. If you’re looking for a romantic ambience with an easygoing, jazzy jive, their music will fit the bill! Jon and Susan of Jazz van Gogh are professional and wonderful musicians.
Jon and Susan made our wedding the most magical and beautiful experience we could have asked for. They played classical flute and guitar in the forest, even playing original composed music that was perfect and so fitting. They also played jazz for happy hour, with flute, guitar and vocals, and everyone enjoyed the great rhythms, personal touch, and golden jazz classics. Their warmth as a couple, easy spiritedness, and willingness to work together in advance to plan everything out was more than we could have hoped for. We’d recommend them to everyone looking for an intimate and tasteful music experience!!!
I have had the opportunity to have Jon and Susie play at my annual Halloween Parties for many years. They are so talented and can play a wider range of different types of music and instruments. When you hear them, you would think that there are many more people in the band than just the two of them. They are reliable and professional, and I would highly recommend them for any type of event.
They delivered exactly as expected and were great.
