We have been watching various versions of Ben Marti and his jazz group around Mankato for several years. We finally had the chance to hire them a little while back and were very pleased with their services.
They have a vast repertoire and are all very skilled and entertaining musicians. Their dedication and understanding of the music really shows and they are fun to watch. They conducted and presented themselves very professionally as well.
We’ve also seen Ben Marti and the others in various other groups, playing in several different genres around Mankato and St. Peter. If you ever get the chance to see them or need to hire a group we can not recommend these guys enough!

Thank you Michelle for your comments on our GigSalad site. We greatly appreciate your support and complimentary review.
Hired the Ben Marti Jazz Group for an event in Mankato, MN. They came highly recommended and praised by others in our network here in Mankato, and they deserve every bit of it. By far one of the classiest, professional groups here in Mankato Minnesota, hire them or go see them if you get the chance!
