On behalf of Hornblower Cruises and Events, I would like to thank you for your contributions to our Entertainment Department. For many years you have been an asset with your many musical talents. Always on time, well dressed and of a cheerful disposition, you are always a pleasure to have on board. Your versatile musical talents appeal to the broad range of guests that we entertain on our yachts. We look forward to future engagements with you. Keep up the good work!
— Mark Brandt, Entertainment Manager, Hornblower Cruises and Events
Chaz & Co.. Great music, great entertainment. Can’t wait to have you back next year.
— Nikkei Matsuri, Japanese American Cultural Festival
Thank you for enhancing the many events we have worked with you. We love working with you and would be happy to act as a reference for you anytime. With the many types of events we coordinate, we find that music is a very important component, we can always depend upon you.
What we appreciate most is your willingness to adapt your style to the need: providing ambient music in situations when it’s important for people to have conversations, upbeat music when the emphasis is on fun, or to act as an MC when the need arises!
Your act is interesting to observe as well as to hear. Every time you play for us we hear comments about the music, the tempo and the versatility. We recognize that it’s pretty unique for one guy to be able to play so many different instruments!
Las, but certainly not least, thank you for your unwavering level of professionalism. We really appreciate that you are totally self-contained and self sufficient. Your early arrival and set-up takes the pressure off rushing out of the way and helps you to put on your best show. It also gives us the peace of mind we need to focus on the rest of the event.
Thanks again for everything!
— Beth Gettinger, helen Gettinger, Partners of Any Event La.Ca.
This was your 6th grand opening event you’ve done for us. We want to thank you for another job well done. You were professional and personable in dealing with our event staff from the CEO to the floor staff. The event was a huge success because of your help and entertainment. Can’t wait to work with you at our next grand opening event.
— Andrew Benz, District Manager, Toys ‘R Us Corporate Office.
You have performed for me both in the Savoir Fair Band and as a solo entertainer. You are such an outstanding and diverse musician. Your “One Man Show” is just that. You are a great entertainer. Your vocals, sax, and keyboards truly reflect your talent. The best part is what a fabulous showman you are. When you perform your solo act, it sounds like a whole band is in the room. You definitely enhance every party.
When I work with different musicians, I demand the highest quality of professionalism. Your work ethics speak for themselves. You are an absolute delight to have at any of my events, whether it be solo or part of the band. You are always the first to arrive and be ready. Your musical talents on sax flute keyboards guitar & vocals plus your song selection is so varied, from classical music ballads, jazz, to funk rock & r&b You are an asset at any event.
— Joannie Liss, Onwer, Joannie Liss Event Planner San Francisco Ca.
It has been a pleasure for me and my clients to work with Chaz & Co. I rarely come across such diverse talent as his. In this business, it is difficult to find someone who is as committed and responsible as he is and with as much budding talent as he possesses.
— Mr. Dan Sheffer, Party Favors Talent Agency, La & Alameda, Ca.
Thank you for bringing such a new and exciting act to our comedy club at Tommy T’s. You are very professional in all areas where it counts, appearance, personality, material, and professionalism. We look forward to your continued success in the entertainment business.
— Mr. Phil Cardeasmenos, Tommy T’s Comedy Club, Concord, Ca.
Thank you for your work well done in my movie documentary, Deadly Force. The part of “Buzzy” could not be played by a better person. Your makeup along with your acting talent was very real. I am looking forward to directing you in my next project.
— Mr. Alec Jason, Anite Productions, Pinole, Ca.
It has been my pleasure working with you the past several years in the entertainment field. You have brought a wide range of talents with you to my club: top grade comedy, musical expertise, and fashion shows you ran and MC’ed. I want to express my thanks for your handling of all of our shows as professionally as you did and with such enthusiasm and humor. Your comedy has been exciting to watch. You are really funny! You are truly a well-rounded entertainer and have contributed greatly to our success.
— Phil Cardeasmenos, Stylz Nightclub, Concord, Ca.
I am most happy that we have had the chance to meet and work together producing shows. You are always someone that I can count on to be there when I ask and your reliability has meant a great deal to me. You are a great entertainer and your ability to MC, dance, do standup comedy, impressions, and play music has made you one of the best performers that I have worked with.
— Barry Thorsness, Boysenbarry Productions, San Francisco, Ca.

To Chaz & Co.
I have engaged Chaz & Co. for several corporate and private events. those most recent include a Corporate event at the Saratoga Mountain Winnery-2005 and in may 2002-Silicon Valley Charity Ball, through my roll as Board Member and Event Co-Chair: a corporate formal dinner during our Oct.2002 President’s Club events through my roll as Executive Assistant at ILOG: as well as many other events. He always makes me look good to my target audience, i also hired him to play at my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration, he was a big hit with all the , and we under that venue will be recommending him to future clients.A big thank you Chaz for enhancing the many events he has worked. With so many different types of events i am very picky about my music being just right.I know i can always depend on Chaz to fit my needs be it background music during cocktails & dinner, upbeat music for dancing, or to act as an MC. when the need arise. Not the traditional “One Man Band” i would call Chaz the “DJ.PLUS” the plus being everything from great entertainer vocals sax flute guitar keyboards to professionalism, punctuality and most importantly competitive pricing. In today’s market it’s a great find !
–Debi Burbman-Deutsch-Corprate-Events

We hired Chaz to play a couple of songs at my mother in law’s funeral. Chaz was very helpful, professional and accommodating. He arrived early was dressed appropriately and played beautifully…!
-Coleen P.
Funeral, El Cerrito, Ca.
I would like to recommend and commend Chaz & Company for his excellent performance for my husbands’ 80th birthday. Chaz played his rendition of Europe on Saxophone and it was great! He is versatile; easily playing music from the 40’s to contemporary jazz pieces as recent as the 2007’s. We enjoyed our party with having him as our live musician/dj. !
Oakland Ca.
