"Thomson Kneeland and Pizzicato Jazz are not only tremendous performers; they were extremely accomodating and went well out of their way to create an amazing musical experience both during both our ceremony and reception. It was a joy to work with Thomson in every step of the planning the music for our wedding. He was by far the most professional, helpful, and unerstanding vendor we worked with. The music for the wedding was magical thanks to Thomson and Pizzicato Jazz. I loved every song they performed and our guests raved about the elegance and style of their music."

"I can't speak highly enough about Thomson Kneeland and his bandmates Misha on Piano and Paul on guitar. They absolutely made my party and were a major hit. Pizzicato Jazz was very easy to deal with, very polished, promised the highest calibre musicians, and delivered in spades. These three with Thomson on double bass were stupendous, versatile, tight, they had a good time and it came through. The performance was as good as I've seen. I am absolutely thrilled to recommend them enthusiastically. I will definitely ask them to play for me again. I can't speak highly enough of the band. Great trio. Fantastic!! Thanks, guys!"

"Thomson Kneeland and Pizzicato jazz created the perfect music to have at out company holiday party. Their tunes ranged from upbeat jazz to more mellow, familiar ballads, filling in the background of the evening's conversations. Their large repertoire of music is truly impressive. What I enjoyed in particular about having this trio at our party, is that they intuitively played along with the changing tone of the night. They knew when to keep it calm and when to strike up the beat again! Pizzicato Jazz was professional, talented, polished and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a group of wonderful musicians!"

"We were so pleased with the Thomson Kneeland and Pizzicato Jazz. Thomson was extremely pleasant to work with and was very helpful in accomodating our needs and helping us plan a perfect setup for my parents 25th anniversary. We went with the trumpet and piano duo who were terrific and were just as good if not better then the famous jazz band we saw the night before in New York. They were professional, pleasant, talented and patient when the rain kept threatening and then had to move inside. I would absolutely use them again at our next event and will recommend them to friends and companies. "
-Danielle M - 25th Anniversary Party, Toms River, NJ, 7/24/09

Hire this band! Big set list and open to requests. Had good correspondence with Thomson all throughout the summer up to the day before the wedding. He knew musicians in the area of my wedding (Albany NY), which helped save travel costs. Good time was had by all -- people really enjoyed the band and the music. Quality!

I simply can't say enough about Thomson Kneeland and Pizzicato Jazz. They were just fantastic! They're completely professional, sound great and played the room perfectly. Furthermore, we continue to get compliments from our guests about them. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Thomson!

"Pizzicato Jazz (and Thomson Kneeland in particular) were absolutely prfect for our wedding. They were exceptionally professional, extremely talented, and very flexible. I would give Pizzicato Jazz my strongest recommendation to anybody seeking music for any type of event or affair. My thanks to Thomson Kneeland and Pizzicato Jazz!"

"I can't begin to tell you how pleased we were with Thomson and the group. They were spectacular!! The music they provided was exactly what we were looking for. Our pastor, Monsignor Behl, was extremely pleased and believe me he is a perfectionist. The fact that the music was great, we could hear each other talk and the musicians were fabulous, is just unbelieveable. You can never seem to get everything you want in one group, but we did!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who asked about them and we are looking forward to having them play for us again next year, maybe even before!!!"
