"Martinson Jazz Quintet-The music fit perfectly, we were able to talk to each other and people got up and danced when they wanted just as we had hoped. Also thank you for backing me up on my special song. We had found other instrumental groups but having the vocalist just makes it that much more special and the sax is one of my favorite instruments. Thank you." —Don & Doris L., 50th Anniversary party
