I provide background music of the highest quality in an improvisatory romantic jazz genre. I have played numerous wedding parties, dinner parties, corporate events, and private functions. I never prepare music, I simply show up and play. While on one hand this means that I probably will not be able to provide you with specific pieces or requests, it does mean I can play for hours on end and it will never be irritating or repetitive because the music is constantly and fluidly changing.
We had an excellent experience with Jonathan. Talented musician that nimbly changed his style with the event. His presence made our event. Thank you!
Jonathan provided perfect music for our event. His improvisational style is a lovely, unique blend of jazz and classical genres, and we appreciate his skill and talent!
Jonathan was exactly what we were looking for. He is professional, courteous, charismatic and a very very talented pianist that is perfect for any small, medium, or large get together. We will be using him again without question.
Response from Jonathan Hodges:
Thank you, Chad! Looking forward to my next opportunity to play for you!

It is preferable that the venue already have a piano.
In the event that you do not have a piano, I own a good keyboard that I have used for some gigs, but it is large and difficult to transport. I will have to charge you more for transportation and setup if I am bringing my own instrument — so always make absolutely certain that you cannot provide the piano at the venue. Aside from the instrument itself, I require very little.
