Steven Charles Atlanta Jazz

We loved having Steven play at our Fall party. His music set the tone and everyone said it was the best party ever. I know his contribution helped make it so. I will definitely have him back for the next one. Thank you Steven!

We initially hired Steven Charles band for our Service Awards banquet. Our leadership thought that it was such a wonderful addition that we asked them back for our retirement banquet as well. The music was phenomenal but most importantly Steven and his band are adamant professionals. They are our go to band!

Steven Charles and an accompanist playing guitar provided an impressive and enjoyable evening performance to our group recently. The audience rated the performance beyond their highest expectations. Highly recommended.

Steven Charles and his accompanying musicians were amazing!! They are a class act and they performed superbly for our daughters wedding (cocktail hour and dinner)...rave reviews and accolades were expressed by all!! Would highly recommend!!

To make this short and sweet, Mr. Charles and crew are phenomenal! Do not miss an opportunity to be entertained by Atlanta's finest.

I hired the Steven Charles Band (3-piece) for a charity fundraiser in Denver and couldn't be happier with their performance! They were professional and punctual, and knew exactly what kind of music to play in this type of environment - subtle and classy without being overpowering, so that guests could still mingle and carry on a conversation. It was obvious that they have experience playing in this type of setting and I would definitely hire them again in the future.

“I hired Steven to perform as a guest soloist with the Tom Olsen Trio. I really love his playing style - so professional, and full of life. He is a virtuoso on sax and flute, yet comes across so humble and approachable.

He is instantly able to connect with an audience by putting them at ease, and wins them over with his great solos. If you have a chance to hear Steven play, by all means go, and be ready to enjoy yourself.”

“I have hired Steven on multiple occasions to provide musical entertainment to our guests at the Annual WCSF Joint Chefs Gathering. Steven and his band have a wonderfully smooth jazz sound and our attendees have all said how talented the group is. We enjoy having the Steven Charles Band out to our function and the price is right which is important to a non-profit organization with a shoestring budget.”

“Steven has been on the jazz scene for many years and been highly successful at consistently playing the newest hip rooms in town. From playing for thousands at Centennial Olympic Park to intimate cafes, Steven always projects warmth and commercial appeal. He is also multi-talented playing both sax and flute.”

“I have enjoyed Steven Charles's music at various high profile and select venues in Atlanta for at least 15 years. In 2005, I had the opportunity to engage his band to entertain friends and colleagues celebrating the anniversary of my law firm. Steven adapts his wide repertoire to the particular context of the event, and is very adept creating a memorable and enjoyable experience for his audience. He is extremely talented, very professional (prompt, organized, business-like about business, etc.), eclectic, soulful and an all-around good guy. I've recommended him many times.”

"Steven Charles was referred to me to perform at my wedding by a good friend, whom I trusted. My friend knows many musicians, but recommended Steven. Steven and his trio played beautifully together and were very easy to work with in preparation for our special day. We enjoyed the music very much and received many compliments from our guests. He was professional, timely and the music was wonderful. His price was reasonable and I was very satisfied. We have used him again since then, with great results. I highly recommend Steven!"

Steven Charles is a class act! His passion for music and jazz shows in every performance. We hired Steven on a couple of occasions, and received very positive feedback from guests attending. And not only is Steven great during the actual performance, he gives the attention-to-detail you need when engaged in the pre-event planning process.

I am sorry to see Steven leave the Atlanta market ... but Atlanta's loss will definitely be Colorado's gain! If you're considering Steven's smooth and classical jazz sounds for your next event, you won't be disappointed!!

Steven and his musician partners would consistently play the best jazz music ever!! My clients always adored him and loved his music. I always wondered why he was not famous!!! He was great to listen to at small gathererings, and large events as well. I wish I had enough business to keep him in Atlanta. Good luck in Denver!!! You will do great!! Keep playing that soulful, sexy, soothing jazz.

I would like to thank you for your performance at the Atlanta Jazz Festival 2010. Your band had a great set and I feel my trip up from Gainesville FL was worth the trip just to hear your band's version of Cassie's Theme by Grover Washington. If you have a recording of that please tell me how to get my hands on it.

I am so glad I made it to the concert early. I feel that your band and Trombone Shorty were the highlights of the night and I am a Bass Player.

Can't say it enough, you guys are an incredibly gifted Jazz Band. Great work on the saxes and please let me know the name of the bass player again. He worked the pocket well and everyone of your band members played their role. Great groove and pocket your entire set.

If you guys ever play in Florida let me know, once again, an incredible set at the Jazz Festival!
