Alexey and his wonderful band of musicians infused our wedding ceremony – and the night – with just the right touch of mood-enhancing music that worked seamlessly with everything else we had going on. It was the perfect touch to our beautiful outdoor wedding by the magnificent Lake Tahoe. Alexey was a joy to work with from the moment we had our first conversation – a complete professional and very patient to boot. He gave us a lot of guidance while also being receptive to our requests and ideas. The Turnaround Band Jazz Quartet performed classical wedding music, switched to jazz, standard and bossa nova through cocktails and dinner to our guests’ delight. They even managed to crank out a couple of MJ tracks in jazz rendition(my husband’s a huge fan). We are satisfied and grateful clients and recommend them fully for any special event in need of quality musical entertainment.

We had Alexey and the Turnaround play at a wedding reception at Absinthe in Hayes Valley and they did a fantastic job. From sharing their work and song selection before the event to setting up quickly in an already constrained location to taking requests on-demand during the event it was an overall very enjoyable experience.

We hired the Turnaround Jazz trio for our wedding at the deYoung. In every step of the process they were responsive, accommodating, and very easy to work with. They did a lovely job playing during our dinner, making the evening truly wonderful and magical. There were many musicians at our wedding, and I got nothing but compliments on the excellent job they did!

I had Alexey and his Turnaround Trio play at my wedding cocktail reception and they were phenomenal! Alexey is a super nice guy and communication leading up to the event was excellent. I provided Alexey with a list of artists and styles and the Trio really delivered! There were some serious jazz fans at the wedding and I heard nothing but rave reviews of the performance. These guys have the chops! The performance fees are very reasonable, and the guys were punctual and super professional. I HIGHLY recommend Alexey and the Turnaround Trio/Quartet for weddings and other events.

We hired the quartet to play at our wedding and cocktail hour and processional. Their music was fantastic, lively, and classy. We have numerous jazz fans at our wedding and have received multiple compliments on how great the Turnaround Jazz Band was. They arrived and set up early and were flexible in making the event exactly how we wanted it. I would fully recommend the Turnaround Jazz Band for any event. Thanks again!

These guys are a really talented bunch. I recommend them wholeheartedly. We hired the quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. My husband is a huge Miles Davis fan, with a particular fondness for It Never Entered My Mind. He hesitated to request the song for the wedding ceremony, however, because he’s got a great ear for music and didn’t want to hear it done badly. We needn’t have worried: Alexey and his group played it absolutely beautifully. My husband has repeatedly brought up how much he liked it. And then(because I have way less classy taste in music than my husband) they later played a Hall and Oates song at my request. And also crushed it! We were thrilled with their work and were happy that we hired them.(And spring for the quartet: totally worth it!)

Alexey and his Turnaround Trio played our Wedding reception this summer. They were fantastic. They keep the space lively but people could still hear enjoy conversations. We had guests dancing and thoroughly enjoying the music. They were very professional and incredibly talented. We had seen them before as a quartet and both are worth every penny.

This group is the BEST! We were 100% satisfied with their salsa music performance for my mother’s 70th birthday party. Everyone at the party kept asking where I found them. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are also very nice guys. They arrived on time, where attentive to requests, and their sound was the best.

Alexey and Turnaround Jazz are great! We recently had them as our event band for our annual Gala/Fundraiser a school. Alexey was so accommodating and flexible. We had a tight timeline and a challenging space to work with when it came to their set up times and he was so flexible and always made us feel confident that it would all work smoothly! The Jazz quintet was amazing and really went with our theme. They played a lot of classic jazz numbers but also threw in some real crowd pleasing songs that our guests to get up and dance to(they like to boogie). Overall they were a fantastic band and we couldn’t have asked for more.

Alexey Berlind and the Turnaround Trio performed at our Oakland neighborhood party in Dec 2012. Responding quickly and responsibly to our last minute request for music, Alexey’s group delivered. The music made the party, with skillful performances packed with style, talent, and cool jazz that read the audience and party timing perfectly. Also, they are nice guys. The professionalism of the group is A1. My internet search for a music group lead me to first hire them for an event in 2010. The other groups I contacted then were hard to reach, did not respond, or had issues that made me question their reliabiity. Their level of quality professionalism, smarts, and talent made their return on Dec 2012 visit a pleasure in every regard.

I’ve been meaning to write a review for Alexey and his Spanish trio for awhile now! They played for our wedding up at a winery last April. They were absolutely amazing. Our guests raved about how much they loved the music. They were professional and very nice to work with. Alexey’s responses were always very fast and their prices are definitely reasonable. They really made our cocktail hour extra special and I hope we have the opportunity to have them play at another event!

We were looking for a solid, incredible jazz band for our wedding in September 2012, and couldn’t have been happier with The Turnaround Jazz Quartet. We had been debating whether to go with a live band or a DJ, and I’m so glad that we found them. They were just amazing — energetic, smooth, and fun. They were also really good at keeping the kids at our wedding entertained with their music. We were especially impressed with their flexibility. Alexey worked with us to accomodate all our requests, and they even learned a new song outside their normal genre — a Harry Belafonte song(Calypso!) that my wife really loves — and they pulled it off wonderfully. They had the whole room going in a Tonga line! The vocalist, Raquel, was superb, adding a brightness and vibrancy that kept everyone dancing much longer than we’d anticipated. And Kevin, the piano player, also performed during our ceremony, helping us select just the right music for the processional. Overall, they were just perfect. We got so many compliments on them. We can’t wait for the next opportunity to hear them play. We’d book them again in a second.

Alexy and his team are the best. We used the Turn Around JAzz Quartet at our wedding and they were a big hit. They knew what to play and played the music like they have played the music for years. They are simply wonderful. They can instantly play something when requested and so on and so forth. Thank you Alexy and band. Jennifer and Michael Jones.

So glad we choose Turnaround Band with Raquel Berlind as the lead singer for our wedding reception. We wanted to go with a classy feel, decided to go with a live band. It made a huge difference and Turnaround and Raquel really showed up for us. They were very professional and a tight group that clearly love what they do. They provided music during the cocktail reception and during the dinner. Raquel worked with us, they learned the first dance we requested and even introduced an amazing dance teacher to give us a few lessons. The first dance was so much fun and everyone was surprised(even me!). Raquel has great energy and a great voice. I highly recommend this Quartet for any of your inspiring functions.

Last year, I booked the Turnaround jazz quartet to play for a proposal event to my fiancé at the Muir beach overlook located just outside the San Francisco bay area. Being a resident of Los Angeles, I was striving to find a jazz quartet located in the bay area that could not only learn to play a specific set of songs from the 1920s and 30s era, but to also be willing to travel to this specific destination and be rehearsed and ready to go to play on command, as soon as we arrived at the overlook in order to make the moment all the more memorable. And I will say with all honesty, that from the very beginning, I couldn’t have found a more professional, cooperative, well mannered, and extremely talented group of musicians to play for this special occasion! I had made early arrangements via email with Alexey, the drummer of the group, pitching my idea and potential rates for the event, and he remained very bright and optimistic on the concept and gave me a very honest and reasonable quote. On the day of the proposal, the quartet arrived extra early, completely setup and ready to go awaiting my fiancé and I at the proposal spot. They even offered directions and were completely patient and understanding as I proceeded to get lost during our drive to the spot which made for a definite comical tale. When we finally arrived, they appeared dressed in fine attire, with all of the appropriate sheet music, and perfect setup and tear down method that made all the difference! They were an absolute delight, knowledgeable, experienced and extremely proficient in their musical abilities! Thanks again for making our proposal occasion such a memorable and joyous part of our lives. Definite 5 star review for a wonderful group of talented musicians!

My wife and I hired the Turn Around Jazz band to perform our wedding on 10/16/2011 at the Ritz Carlton SF. From the first phone call through the day of the event Alexey was a true professional with constant communication and thorough attention to detail. They played the pre-ceremony, the actual ceremony, cocktail hour and into dinner. They did a great job transitioning the music throughout the evening as well as moving the entire band once into an indoor space. Guests are still commenting on the music and it surely will be fondly remembered. Do not think twice about getting this band to your wedding or event, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Alexey!

I recently hosted a Charity Event and needed a Jazz Band. Luckily, I found the Turnaround Jazz Quartet using Unilocal.I was blown away by the great reviews. They were even better than expected. They truly live up to their 5 star rating. Professional, sounded fantastic, entertaining and the singer(Raquel) was amazing! They helped turn our event into a success. I would recommend them to everyone. I will definitely use them at my next event. Thank you for doing such a great job!!!

You only have ONE shot with your wedding music so the stakes are high. A mediocre band can throw a wet blanket on the whole affair and a great band can add an ephemeral air to the joyous day. Quick review: the Turnaround Jazz Quartet and Trio are fantastic musicians, highly professional, very easy to work with, perfectly ethical with no surprises, and helped make our wedding the beautiful night to remember that it was. Details: May 2009. Finding professional services online is a little scary. With Craigslist or Unilocal you can sort through websites and reviews but you are never really sure what you are going to get. I did all my communication with Alexey(the drummer and, it seems, person handling the business end of things) by email. We discussed what arrangements to have at the ceremony, the dinner, and the reception, what kind of music to play, when to take breaks, etc. They were extremely flexible(and inventive), providing impromptu interludes needed for a last-minute ceremony change(nod to the pianist here). As for the day of the event, they were hardly noticed arriving, setting up, moving(twice), and taking breaks. They played at the perfect volume, meshed well together, and really seemed to be having as good a time at our wedding as all the guests. They played enthusiastically right up until the end of the night, accommodating requests and even backing a singer or two from the crowd. When I have a party where a jazz band is needed, I won’t hesitate to call Turnaround Jazz again. As far as our wedding went, they were fantastic. There are a lot of things to stress about when planning an event, including the music. If you want to remove a big load of potential worry AND have some great jazz, call on these guys.
