Just a note to let you know how much our University and Daytona Beach communities enjoyed the recent concert by the Lisa Kelly and JB Scott Jazz 5tet. Members of our Arts and Letters Committee…heard nothing but enthusiastic and positive comments from students, staff, faculty, and townspeople who attended the event. Indeed, the concert attracted the largest audience we have experienced for musical performances…I trust you understand that our repeated requests for your services speak legions of words about our appreciation for your talents and your highly professional and exciting performances!”
Dr. James K. Libbey, ERAU Arts & Letters Committee, Embry-Riddle University
“Your performance was entertaining from every angle: great playing and singing (quite impressive “scat” from both of you!) and excellent rapport with the audience and students. I was delighted at some of the things ..said in the session (clinic) with our students, about the importance of knowing one’s theory-functional harmony, common chord progressions, etc. It always means more to students to hear that kind of thing from artists who are “walking the walk.” The virtuosity that both of you display is impressive. And the respect that each of you have for the other’s abilities is really evident, it draws the audience closer to you. Thanks again for sharing your talents with us…!”

"We were lucky enough to book the "Kelly/Scott Jazz Sextet" for our wedding reception in May. We wanted a band that was both elegant and fun, with a musical style that would be at home in the historic Southern mansion where we held our reception. We could not have been happier with our choice!! Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with, her voice was mesmerizing, and JB and the other musicians gave a flawless, gorgeous and thoroughly entertaining performance. We can't recommend them highly enough. We're still getting compliments from our guests!"

"Lisa Kelly and the "Sophisticated Swing Band" were a wonderful addition to our special day. I can't tell you how many people went on and on about how wonderful they were. I'm happy to recommend them to anyone who wants to lend an air of sophistication to their event. Thanks!"

"I hired the "Kelly/Scott Quintet" for a local fund raising event that was going to be attended by quite a few jazz enthusiasts so it was very important to get the very best available! They did NOT disappoint! Their professionalism and talent are incredible.The attendees of the benefit raved about the group and asked for contact information so they could book them for future events. My boss is the founder & publisher or Jazziz magazine and owns and operates Jazziz Bistro in Hollywood Florida and has asked for them to play his club after listening to their CD. If you need a first class jazz band for ANY occasion, I would highly recommend hiring this group."
