We had a party for around 40 people. I asked John for NOLA style jazz and he nailed it. People from nearby establishments came over to listen to the music and it set the vibe we were looking for. I will book Tiny Jazz again.

Response from Tiny Jazz:
That is some high praise - thank you so much for that. And thank you for hosting live jazz at your Palace. It was really a first class production- from the hospitality to the stage, equipment and sound crew. You treated us like royalty and I will always remember it. Hope to see you again soon. -John
John and Alex were amazing at our wedding at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. On top of their wonderful music they helped in announcing and playing music under the Wisteria Arbor at the Betty Kelso Center. They are a wonderful addition when it comes to music because it’s live and not the usual DJ playing music. Our closest family and friends enjoyed listening to them. At the end of the reception Alex even jumped in to dance and get my family dancing. Overall they are both wonderful people, musicians and we highly recommend them for your event if you want something different, entertaining and willing to work with!
Response from Tiny Jazz:
We really enjoyed you guys! And really liked working with you through the flow of the wedding, from the jazz to the DJ'ing. And yes, Alex never ceases to surprise and amaze me with his different talents!! Thank you for making us a part of your celebration. JS
I would like everyone to know how PHENOMENALLY EXCEPTIONAL TINY JAZZ WAS FOR MY WEDDING! During my crunch time and about 1 month to go until my wedding I forgot about my ceremony music and John handled my request within a day of my request. John made it happen! Everything was so perfect and just flowed and was so relaxing and stress free! I will have them again for my 1 year an anniversary. I highly recommend them. Thank you John and The Tiny Jazz band. Y’all were exceptional I couldn’t have asked for a more phenomenal band!!!
We were thrilled with the music and professionalism of this Jazz Duo. The communication leading up to the event was great and the music was everything we hoped for. John and Alex are amazing, talented, personable and I highly recommend them for any event.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Diane, It was nice meeting you! Loved being a part of the ribbon cutting - Enjoyed the energetic yet chill vibe happening that day. Congratulations to you and your team on the new (and beautiful) office. Hope to play for your 1-year anniversary ;)
Tiny Jazz performed at our OST Summer Institute conference’s Monday night social, creating an ambience of relaxation and camaraderie. Their curated playlist perfectly matched the audience, wine, and hors d’oeuvres, and they even took audience requests. Punctual and easy to schedule, their clear and friendly communication made planning a breeze. The night was enjoyable and memorable, thanks to their exceptional performance.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Hey Veronica, that was a really cool, intimate event you put together. I'm glad we were a part of that. It was great to have several listening ears toward the end of the event... It was like playing at a downtown jazz club into the wee hours lol! It was fun! Thank you for that and your hospitality. And congrats on your new post!
This was a last minute booking, and are we so glad we found Tiny Jazz! They showed up much earlier for set up, and were dressed for the occasion. The band was incredible, made the evening cocktail hour a first class without a doubt! Would highly recommend them to anyone who appreciates professionalism and good music. A 5-Star Band in our books and we are definitely having them at other events. Thank you, Tiny Jazz, for making our event that much more special.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
So glad you found us, German. What a cool event that was! I hope it was special for your daughter, family and friends. I know Alex and I had a fun, musical experience perched over the courtyard. Very cool. Thank you for everything!
We could not have enjoyed this event more with Tiny Jazz! They were EVERYTHING and added the most fabulous ambiance from our hill country home at Canyon Lake, TX.
Love Tiny Jazz! Thank you for making our daughter’s Bridal Shower such a memorable event!
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Looking at these photos again this morning and remembering that day... What a beautiful "venue" you have overlooking the great Texas landscape around the lake. It was really nice meeting you and your family. Thanks for allowing us to play at your home.
We enjoy Tiny Jazz every time they perform at our community. They're so talented and their music is Spot On! They add the perfect touch to our events.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Thank you, Patty! TINY JAZZ appreciates you so much. You are always so nice to us, and we always have fun there. Looking forward to our next one...
Awesome performance and worked with us on scheduling and details. First class all the way, cannot recommend them enough!!
We hired Tiny Jazz to perform sax and trumpet at our wedding and they were EXCELLENT! The guests really enjoyed the music and it added such a unique touch to our cocktail hour. They were easy and pleasant to work with and hire. I will definitely be hiring them again for special occasions!
John and his group absolutely knocked it out of the park. They expertly played all of the jazz classics and dressed elegantly for the occasion. They were the perfect choice to entertain our guests and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to book them for their event!
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Haha, "Jazz Hands" I love your title to the review lol... Awesome time Saturday, thank you. Congratulations to you both! ..What a handsome couple y'all are.

Sierra, It was a real pleasure getting to know you and playing for what was a beautiful dinner and reception. Your family were all so kind to the band - thank you for that. And congratulations to you :)
We had an awesome time listening and dancing to Tiny Jazz. The special treat of the vocalist was an additional bonus. really hope to get to listen to them play again. My brother, other residents and families were delighted with the jazz music

We hired Tiny Jazz for our corporate event at the Eilan Hotel in San Antonio. All of the guests raved about how skilled the band members were and how great the sound was. Tiny Jazz played a variety of jazz that appealed to everyone in the room. Thank you so much for making our guests happy. When we are back in San Antonio, we will definitely use you again next time!
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Hi Crystal - so glad you found us on the internet and took a chance on us! Thank you for everything :) What a fine setting you picked for your group’s dinner. Sustenio at Eilan was a great place to lay down some jazz! Hope to see you again… JS
Ting Jazz is such an amazing group! They were so easy to work with and always were able to adapt to any changes necessary. John Spears was my main point of contact and he was phenomenal! Working for a university, the students absolutely enjoyed them as well as the faculty and staff! Such a fun and amazing group! Definitely will be using them again!
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Tori, thank you so much for remembering us from last year! Glad the pandemic let up enough to have the Mardi Gras festivities. We were super pleased that the students were really digging the jazz and actively requesting songs. It was nice to finally meet you- Thanks again!
Can’t wait to book again! Professional and fun and played exactly as requested. We received so many compliments!
Thank you so much John for your professionalism!
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Congratulations on your daughter’s wedding! Everything yesterday was so beautiful. Thank you for trusting Tiny Jazz to be part of it. It was great to meet you both, and we look forward to working with you again!
Tiny Jazz made the event one to remember always. All the guest loved their selection of music. They were so good at setting a beautiful setting guest at the hotel sat outside to listen and enjoy the music. Wonderful musician doesn’t given them enough crest.
I communicated with John of Tiny Jazz for booking and he was great. Kept me fully informed and was very dependable. He and Billy Ray provided the perfect jazz sound for our graduation brunch by the pool. Fun selection of tunes, even providing some Led Zeppelin for the parents!! Great fun, very reasonably priced, really increased everyone's enjoyment factor. Can definitely recommend and will be calling them again.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
We really felt honored to play for your lovely group of family and friends. And of course a big congrats to your daughters! You were such a gracious host. Thank you again for asking us to play at your party. And btw, that conga line.. lol! ...it was the best!! We hope to see you all again one day! :) -John Spears
We had Tiny Jazz out at our church for our Christmas services in December. They really set the tone, everyone enjoyed the atmosphere! They were very easy to work with, even accommodating when we had to rush them inside due to the cold front that blew in while they were here.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Hi Danielle - Just now reflecting back on the Christmas festival - And we are very grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of your quite fantastic event. Thank you the for warm reception and fellowship you showed Rob and me. Any opportunity to play is always welcomed, but your event certainly made it extra special. Thanks again!! -John Spears
Tiny Jazz played at our Pizza Wine Bar and was Fabulous! They play the whole genre of jazz and we’re able to read our crowd and what they liked to hear. They’re sound was awesome! We have them coming back to play on Valentines Day & can’t wait to hear them again.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Hi Mary! It's been several months since we first played (and the time of this review), and I want you know we enjoy coming and playing each and every time! Your staff feels like family and it shows in everything you've built out there. Thanks so much for having us play. For those reading this review - Mario's Pizza and Wine Bar is great - Just read all the reviews on Yelp and Google. (The eggplant parm has become one of my favorites, along with the supreme pizza, of course). They recently moved to 29774 US-281, Bulverde, TX 78163
We contracted Tiny Jazz for a company holiday gathering and they were simply outstanding. All extremely professional and skilled musicians, with the perfect amount of coolness. We had never tried a live jazz band and wasn't sure how it go with our group (personally i love jazz) bc it can be hit or miss.... they were definitely a hit!! They will elevate any event for sure ....Cant wait to use them again.
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Katherine, your words are too kind, thank you! We loved playing some Christmas jazz for your company. And hope to see you again... Hopefully again at The Veranda (isn't that place just too cool?!). Thank you so much again. -John
Tiny Jazz was professional, energetic and a great choice for our networking reception. I would highly recommend booking Tiny Jazz for your cocktail parties or receptions. Thanks for such an enjoyable evening!
Response from Tiny Jazz:
Thank you, Kate, for your kind hospitality throughout the whole process! We really had a great time doing what we love. Hope to see you down here again sometime.... Thanks again!

I've been playing trumpet since I was a 6th grader in 1978 and have been playing professional gigs since 1994. I love all music. I collaborate with some of the best musicians in the San Antonio area and am in several bands - from jazz, smooth, ambient-chill, variety, polka, symphonic to Tex-Mex. Let us bring our love of jazz to your event!
