Just wanted to drop you a note to convey our appreciation for the Blackwood Jazz Combo that we enjoyed last Friday night. They were all professional musicians and provided a very enjoyable evening for my husband and I. Thanks for inviting them to the gazebo on State St. and we encourage you to invite them back soon.
Thanks again ~
Keith Ward and The BlackWood Jazz Combo are awesome! They truly capture the timeless sound of the big band era with that smooth clarinet lead. I would and have recommended them to anyone looking for a great jazz band.
