He and his group were able to create a cool vibe during our cocktail hour and our guests loved hearing their music.

"I am a bandleader,  composer and pianist based in New York City, and have had the pleasure of working with Jon for over four years now. Jon is a brilliant trumpet player and has played a key role on the bandstand with us. Just as important,  he is a masterful arranger. Our music veers from jazz to rock to latin, and Jon unfailingly comes up with great charts for our section,  always appropriate to genre, always imaginative, always coming up with something unique and special. Jon’s stylish arrangements are a hallmark of our sound. Can’t give a higher recommendation to a musician."

"I was coordinator for a large event that involved a kids costume parade. Jonathan, along with a drummer colleague, was asked to lead off the parade with New Orleans Jazz Style music. The kids (and their parents) loved his playing and high energy performance. Jonathan was a pleasure to work with: professional, proactive, and flexible. I highly recommend him."

"Mr. Saraga is a gentleman, and dealing with him was a breeze from the beginning till the end. He was approachable, had a huge repertoire of songs they could offer, and they gave our wedding in Brooklyn a really classy atmosphere. Their repertoire doesn't only limit to Jazz, ask them and you'll be surprised. Having been a musician myself, I was looking for skill and taste. Jonathan's band has it."

-Ricardo B. (New York, NY)

​

"Jonathan Saraga with his trio pulled off a courageous, energetic jazz-fusion performance at an art show of mine in New York, April 2015.  Particularly impressive was Saraga's commitment to the show's theme  - 'Life, beauty and unraveling in the Middle East' - with his will to explore music from the Levant and adapt it to his energetic jazz style.  At times dramatic and always powerful, attendees found the music most appropriate for the art on view.  Many thanks to Saraga and his team."

-Jonathan A. (New York, NY)
