However, they did not send their list of 300 songs until I asked for it. They sent it via email and I replied back to that same email. The day of the event they did not recall that I had sent them a selection of 14 songs to play. I sent it to them via text right there and they pulled it up. They ended up only playing about 2 songs on the list and kept taking long pauses between songs they mostly chose themselves. It almost seemed like they did not want to play from the list I sent. They asked for requests but sometimes the guests did not have any but they continued to wait around. It was a little strange how many pauses there were. They did not play 14 songs at the end of it nor did they initiate taking a photo with the celebrants as stated in their initial email. My expectations were unfortunately not met.

He is fun, patient, inventive, supportive and more gifted, as both a teacher and a musician, than I will ever be able to appreciate. To my son, in turn, Piotr is incredibly cool and simply awesome. He knows that Piotr is a classical guitarist who grew up playing blistering rock and roll, and to hear the two of them rock out on whatever song suits my son's fancy at the moment -- or whatever song Piotr thinks is a good challenge -- delights this mom to no end. And then to hear my son noodling around on guitar in his spare time -- a hobby that brings him great joy -- well, let's just say that it's nice to never have to pester him to practice. I'm endlessly grateful to have such a huge talent working one-on-one with my son, and I look forward to seeing my son continue to evolve as a musician and expand his musical horizons -- no doubt eventually beyond rock. Thanks, Piotr!

See:…read morehttp://www.nightanddaymusic.com/ Night and Day performed at my wife's birthday party (a significant date), providing a high degree of musicianship in their rendition of "standards" and songs from the Great American Songbook. We engaged Night and Day for a private party at a lovely Capitol Hill restaurant (Ninella) and wanted an ensemble that would amplify the elegance we hoped to achieve for our party. Throughout the evening, Night and Day furnished that elegant touch, understated and balanced, and demonstrated why hiring professionals (who know each other and have worked together) makes a real difference. We were treated to vocals from Renée Tannenbaum, who certainly charmed our guests and helped create the atmosphere we hoped to achieve for our friends. I note that Night and Day also rehearsed with one member of our party a song (As Time Goes By) and troubled themselves to get a copy of the song in advance, arranged as our party member intended to sing it. We would recommend Night and Day to others, would certainly engage them again if the occasion arose, and would welcome hearing them perform at one of DC's local venues.

We offer solo piano and smaller combos for tasteful background, or larger ensembles with vocals for dancing. Our warm, energetic music is equally appropriate for corporate events, weddings and parties, both formal and informal. The Night & Day band has been together since 1991. The group always arrives on time, plays especially danceable music, and is never too loud. We'll work closely with you to make sure your event is a success, both musically and otherwise. Our prices are very reasonable. From tented backyard parties to black tie galas, Night & Day is the wise choice.

Great personality, professional, very flexible and a great music selection. Everyone had a great time dancing! He also did a nice job lighting up the interior of our venue. Aaron truly went out of his way to help us have an amazing day. Due to some unplanned issues, we weren't able to easily drive my grandmother from the ceremony site to the reception. Aaron decided to drive his van down to offer her a ride so she wouldn't have to walk as far. I think that story speaks volumes about his character and willingness to help.

My venue had a restriction against electronic music outdoors, and I didn't initially think about the implications for the ceremony, and how we'd have to hire live musicians in addition to a DJ, and I was a little worried about the impact on our budget. Jan was great in helping to recommend a fantastic guitarist and DJ combo (for our ceremony and reception, respectively), that fit nicely into our budget. I was skeptical at first about having a guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail music, but Eric was phenomonal. I'm actually really glad we went with a guitarist instead of a more traditional string quartet or violinist. Eric was a true professional, and did an excellent job timing the music with our ceremony, and the music was just beautiful. We booked DJ Steve for the reception. Neither my husband nor I are big music people, and weren't sure how to give direction on the music. Turns out we didn't really need to. We filled out a questionaire with a few of our song requests (all of which got played) and types of music we wanted, and Steve took it from there. He did a good job of reading the crowd, and did a good mix of different music to please a diverse crowd. Overall, our experience was fantastic. The music was one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning process, and I highly recommend booking through Jan.
