Dear Chris,

The Southern Connection wants to thank you  for helping to make 
our event for Sports Illustrated a success. Your wonderful Musical 
talents were a large part of our evening and our client was very pleased.
As always, you came through for us and we look forward to                    
doing business together in the near future"-
         - Temi Silver, President.  The Southern Connection.

 

"Chris

Thanks for your email.  With regard to your request for suggestions,  I'm
afraid I can't help- There isn't one thing I would change about the
performance by the trio. You were proactive in ensuring all details and
logistics were in place before the performance ,  showing up on time,
and the music was nothing less than perfect for our function.  In our
phone  discussions prior to the 15th, you read my comments about what
we were looking for and   fulfilled our requirements optimally.
You were true professionals.   AND, you made me look good as the
planner -- I received many compliments on your music.
Thank you very much, Chris, for an excellent experience.  I wouldn't
hesitate to highly recommend you."

I  have had the pleasure of working with Chris for many years and have never been disappointed.   Chris is extremely service oriented and flexible.  Clients always give him and his groups rave reviews! "       

                    --Sally Silverman, President
Full Circle Events



Chris was professional and responsive to my constant requests. He was very flexible 
during my event as our schedule fluctuated. I would definitely work with him again.

                  -    Betty Korns,  Macy's-Richs

 
They were absolutely wonderful and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate a second to
 hire them in the future or to recommend them to someone else!

"Chris and the guys did an excellent job. The main focus of our event was 
networking. Chris recommended a jazz trio and they played at the right level
so that everyone could still talk. They made the atmosphere of our event PERFECT! 
I highly recommend Chris for any function.  He also took care of the details directly 
with my Convention Services contact at the hotel so that I could take that piece 
off my plate. As an event planner, that was a huge help to me!

Working with Chris Corso and the Gentlemen of Swing was an extremely positive experience, 
and I would recommend them without hesitation. Emails were always addressed quickly and professionally, 
contract and vendor setup process was a breeze, and the event itself was excellent with the band playing in the background.

"Chris is always a pleasure to work with.  His music adds to
 the ambience of all of our events".

Chris Corso was my primary contact. He and his band played at my wedding. They did an outstanding, and spectacular job! 
We were able to coordinate a few sessions where I could see\hear the band in different formats. This was very helpful for decision making.
Chris helped with booking Heaven Davis, and Michael Melee to provide (powerful!) vocals & classical guitar talent, respectively. 
Music was perfect and I owe it all to Chris and his team. They are all very professional, extremely talented musicians. 
My guests all commented on how much they loved the band which confirmed I made the right decision. Thank you Gentlemen (and lady!) of Swing!!

"Chris  created an absolutely magical  evening of classic jazz  where my guests 
could enjoy a romantic dance and still have a quiet conversation by the fireside.  
The quartet beautifully covered all the jazz legends, as well as special requests.  
The band were all top notch musicians who enjoy playing together and are very attentive to their audience.
  I highly recommend Chris Corso to you."
            -  Eric Miller, CPM CheckFree Corporation

From my first contact with Chris, to the event, everything was professional. The event itself turned out incredibly well. 
A huge part of the success was the Gentlemen of Swing. The entire group was fantastic. I'm still receiving compliments about their talent, personable nature, from the old to the young, everyone loved them. I would recommend them for any type of event. They are true Professionals! 
 -Mitzi W, Alpharetta, GA 

I give Chris Corso and his Gentlemen of Swing my highest praises. They were professional in every regard: planning, communication, dependability, and performance. They were uniformly charming and talented! I explained what I wanted, and Chris gave me perfection! We had many compliments of the music during our event. I'm so glad that I chose Chris and his band. Their presence brought magic to our party! -Jane M, Decatur, GA 

They were GREAT! We hired four of them for my daughter's wedding and were extremely pleased with their performance. Chris Corso seemed genuinely concerned with the wishes of the bride, groom & myself. They were punctual, very friendly and well dressed for the occasion. They happily played several requests from guests. My daughter & son-in-law LOVED them. I've had many guests comment on how good they were. They wanted to know where I found them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for entertainment. We could not have picked a better group for my daughters wedding.
 -Patricia H, Roswell, GA 

This was the perfect wedding band. He helped keep things running smoothly and all we had to do was look at him and he would move on to the next "event" at the reception. They sound wonderful and were very professional. I couldn't have imagined my wedding reception with any other music. It was exactly what we expected after hearing clips from their website. Chris Corso was very helpful and played only the type of music we requested. We had very special requests and they played them perfectly. If you are looking for the music to set the mood at your reception, this is your band! -

The Gentlemen of Swing were perfect for our event. We could not have been more satisfied. Chris is very professional and accommodating. The band is just wonderful and plays excellent music. I am so happy that we found them and will definitely be using them in the future. -Katie P,  Leapfrog Events - Atlanta, GA 

Chris and the rest of his trio (keyboard, sax/clarinet, bass) were a delight to work with. Chris was an excellent communicator and listened carefully to our requests, both for music selection and volume. He accommodated a special request for music during the ceremony, and the trio did a superb job. His ensemble was very talented, and many people at the party commented on how enjoyable the music was. We would use him again without hesitation. Thanks, Chris!                   Michelle A, Marietta, GA

Gentlemen of Swing went above and beyond their duty. They were so accomodating and helped with the flow of our event. They played requests and kept the guests entertained and dancing. I will definately have them back next year. Thanks guys! -Karen F   A  Step to Independence

"Dear Chris,

Once again, you have entertained and regaled my guests 
with your virtuosity and charm.  I continue to be amazed
by your ability to perform virtually any song. thanks for 
making my parties so special. I can't wait to give another 
one just to hear you play."
         -  Barbara V. Tinsley, Georgia Pacific Corporation

Putting together a fundraiser for "Fulton County Mental Health Court" was driving me into needing their services. I have used the same pianist for over 20 year but right before the event he retired. Booking Chris Corso for the first time I was a bit apprehensive. I was able to listen to him through Gigmasters and Chris contacted me directly. I will use Chris Corso from now on. He took care of all the details himself I did little but sign a check. His musical talent is beyond question and he was able to read the crowd and virtually knew every song requested. He actually had some of the most stoic up and dancing. I would recommend Chris for ANY event. Jennifer -Jennifer C, Atlanta, GA

 

Chris Corso was a pleasure to work with. He was able to accomodate our needs and our crowd. Understanding that we needed "background" music for our  event, Chris was ever so careful in ensuring that the sound level was suitable for the crowd. Chris was prompt and professional. I would highly recommend his services. -Jill F, Atlanta, GA  Georgia Legislature

Chris was wonderful. He followed up with me instead of me having to follow up with him. He arrived with more than enough time to set up and then stayed late asking for requests from the children. He was very kind, professional and a joy to have at our event. -Jennifer B, Alpharetta, GA

 

"Chris,

Your performance was outstanding.  Not only are you very talented
but you handled other details efficiently as well.  Prompt response,
prompt contract, good follow up, confirmed to the minute. 
I didn’t have to second guess a thing." 
           -Mary Schuster


"Dear Mr. Corso,

Thank you for providing the entertainment at our recent party. 
Your artistic musical ability is only matched by your likeable 
and accommodating nature.  My Guests continue to rave about
your work and I look forward to having the pleasure of
your company again. Continued success in your musical career".

On behalf of the Guffey's,  I want to thank you for providing a beautiful
wedding ceremony by way of your musical expertise.  I look forward to working with you  again on future weddings."

Dear Chris and Co.,

Wow, A band that plays the perfect songs, at the right volume,
keeps customer service as a priority, goes to any extreme to 
please the client, and always is demanded back, 
I wish I had ten more of you!"
             - Pat Andrews- Bands Atlanta

 

"Dear Chris,

Just wanted to send  a note of thanks for the wonderful job 
your band did for the  Chamber of Commerce- Seems  like 
they are trying to come up with a reason to have another function 
just to hear you guys play again! Thanks for always making us look good!"-
