Testimonials

  • To all of the people who were invited to this show and didn't attend, you really missed a great performance. I host a lot of events, but this one was so special! To have a jazz big band play at this venue was really different! The music they played was classic big band jazz and I can't wait to bring them back!

  • I recently saw the Jazz Crew Big Band and what a treat! GOOD live big band jazz - You can't beat that! I appreciated the musicianship and talent of these cats. And they played songs that were recognizable! Can't wait for their next show!

  • Mark's "Jazz Crew" Big Band gave a serious concert last night! It was so good to hear a jazz big band play at a local venue! Their dedication and loyalty to this classic music is wonderful! They really brought back the "good old days" of great jazz music. I'm a big band singer and I'm hoping that I get a chance to perform with this band!

  • When I learned that Mark's "Jazz Crew" Big Band was playing at a local venue, I made sure I was there! It was a great experience featuring very accomplished musicians. Together they sounded fantastic, but several of the musicians were featured as soloists and I really enjoyed each instrumentalist's unique ability to give us listeners a taste of their own personal style! I loved their performance and will definitely continue to attend their events!

  • I recently attended the inaugural performance of the “Jazz Crew” Big Band and I loved it! I was pleasantly surprised because I'm not really a fan of jazz music. Their show was very professional and their Band leader, Mark Edmonds, really knows how to MC a show! I'm looking forward to their next show and I'm bringing some Friends with me!

  • My big brother, Vernon, plays trumpet in the “Jazz Crew” Big Band. His event at the Crab Tavern was so awesome! I’m glad I didn’t miss it. I had not heard my brother play for quite some time and it was great seeing him in his element! It brought back memories of him playing in the jazz band at Germantown High School. I love the big band sound. And what a good band! If anyone reads this, please support this band. You’ll have a great time! I’m so proud of my brother!
