It's not worth booking with them not trust worthy at all.. and then they wanted to charge 280 for 30 mins FOR ONE PERSON TO COME SING IF WE STILL WANTED HIM AFTER 40 mins ... very sad ... DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE !! Not professional AT ALL!

I am very disappointed and heartbroken. We had setup a timing for them to come at my mom's house…read more It was her 66th birthday, so we wanted to surprise her with something special. We were in constant communication with them through text and phone calls, and they assured us that they were on their way and they were ten minutes away. Then thirty minutes roll by, and we call them, they give us the same "we are 10 minutes away" excuse. After 10 minutes, we take my mom to the back patio and blindfold her and tell her we have a surprise. We call them and turns out they were all the way in Magnolia, mind you we were in Alief. They were 50+ miles away, and they told us they were never coming. They had actually passed us off to another group. Now, we had to break the news to my mom since she is going to wonder why she was blindfolded. Of course, she took it okay, but you could tell she was disappointed she didn't have the band playing.

I really enjoy hearing the Storyville Jazz Band at the Saints games. They have been around for 25…read moreyrs. They cover more ground than the heralded Saints offense during the games as they canvas the Dome pumping up the party. Bruce Hirstius is the band leader of this group of six. He is 80-something years young and loves to dance. He is so entertaining to watch as he dances for the crowd. I really think he would rather dance all game than play the trumpet. The band's most frequent song is "When the Saints Go Marching In". They perform that song dozens of times during the game. "Down by the Riverside" is also a popular request but they also play lots of dixieland tunes such as "Tin Roof Blues", "Bourbon Street Parade", and "Didn't He Ramble". Catch them at halftime in the mezzanine for a second-line parade! This band is quintessential New Orleans....a not well-known band that leaves you more entertained than you've ever been at a sporting event.

They're friendly, have great communication (joesimonjazz@yahoo.com), a helpful website (www.joesimonsjazz.com), can play just about anything, and the price is very reasonable for a group of talented and fun musicians (we only had a trio but you can book larger groups as required). You'll find them most weekends playing brunch at Commander's Palace and if you're looking for an event or wedding band I can't recommend Joe Simon's Jazz enough. They're truly as good as it gets!

We used Rick and Decades for our wedding in City Park. The brass band for our ceremony was…read moredefinitely a hit with our guests. For the reception Rick played plenty of hits everyone knew including a great set of instrumental songs we requested he play during the dinner. He did have a crowd on the dancefloor during much of the event but he flat out ignored our "do not play" list which was a bit frustrating (Macarena, Cupid Shuffle, etc...). I hope he honors his clients' requests in the future. Based on the amount of selection in such a musical city of New Orleans, there are a lot of other companies out there...

Our DJ was Alex and he was the BEST. He called me to make sure everything was all set weeks ahead of time. He responded quickly to all of my emails in the days leading up to the wedding. Alex arrived early to setup and the sound was exactly what I envisioned. The uplighting was perfect and the music he played was right on point. I cannot find a critique if I tried. Do yourself a favor and go with Decades!

We recently got married and were lucky enough to have the Jimmy Maxwell Orchestra as our band…read more We couldn't have been happier with our choice. We were looking for a big band sound for our reception in the Blue Room of the Roosevelt Hotel and going for the classy feel of the cocktail era supper club when Sinatra had played in that same room. They did not disappoint. Their choice of songs was spot on, and we were really impressed with their range - everything from old school swing to crooners to new music like Beyonce. They really rocked it all. Our guests danced the night away and told us the next day how impressed they were with our choice of band. And for the number of musicians the price was very reasonable. Jimmy and his son Robert were also very accomodating, meeting us beforehand and asking for our preferences. They really listened to what we requested but obviously had lots of experience doing this before so I felt totally comfortable with their song choices to fit the mood of the crowd. They are real pros.
