“Harry did us the honor of playing solo piano for the opening two hours of a 50th birthday party for my wife at our home. He’d offered us the opportunity to suggest songs for him to play, or cull from his play list, but I rather let him choose what he most preferred and what seemed to fit the mood. His selections ran from contemporary pop to jazz standards, and his playing was masterful. He gave a real old-fashioned “cocktail hour” spirit to the party. Whether performing for a smaller group like ours, or for a larger gathering in a bigger venue, Harry will be a fine pianist to hire for your event.” — Chris Pummer, Orinda

 

“I thought you were amazing and our party was more of a success because of you. Thank you again for being so flexible with the time extension. We will definitely request you next year!” — Heidi Lese GAME ON! Recruiting

 

“Harry was a pleasure to work with. He agreed to play our corporate happy hour on very short notice. I asked him to play low-key, cocktail hour jazz music and he delivered in a big way. His keyboard along with his playing makes it sound like there is a whole jazz quartet at the party. On top of everything Harry was extremely professional, courteous and on time. I would definitely recommend Harry to anyone wanting to add an extra dimension of class and sophistication to their event. The happy hour was only last night and I already have attendees raving about it.” – –Dan Braunstein | Sales Coordinator, Westlaw® Deposition Services

“Thanks so much for your piano playing. It was such a beautiful and calming element to the day. You certainly have a wide repertoire! I appreciate your graciousness when a later rowdier crowd attempted to create a jazzier tone to your plans. I was amazed that after playing for us that you were able to pack up and head to yet another engagement. I know that you love what you do. It shows ! Thanks so much again and we hope to see you again !” — Brad Childs – Santa Rosa

 

“I was asked to sing at a ceremony where everything was coordinated by a third party, which meant that there would be no rehearsal time before the ceremony. Harry was very professional and musically prepared, and that put me at ease. It went very well, and I was able to relax and feel comfortable performing. I truly believe that it was because of his professionalism, that things went so well. I look forward to working with him again soon!” — Nathalie M. Reid, vocalist, St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Palo Alto
