to hear the Jim Guter Big Band perform at Brookdale Music recently. The top notch band played some great
arrangements made famous by Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton and others. Don't miss a chance to hear these guys!"

Jim,
Thank you and the entire band for the wonderful performance at our wedding. The music was positively enchanting, and we
received many compliments from our guests. The selections were festive and celebratory, and really created a lovely mood
for the party. Many of our guests found themselves singing along with the tunes, and thought that the vocal accompaniments
were positively divine. The musicians and vocalists in your band, not only performed the wonderful big band and songbook
tunes we wanted, they recreated them with such feeling and precision, it was like we stepped back in time to an era when
a party wasn't a party without a band playing.We also wanted to thank you for taking the time to sit down with us and plan
our big day. You guidance not only helped us make the right music selections, it also helped put our minds at ease knowing
that someone understood what we wanted. Brides traditionally fret over details on their wedding day, but I felt totally
comfortable with the advance decisions we made and knew that the music was the one area I had absolutely nothing to worry
about.Thank you and all involved for helping to make our day even more perfect than we could have imagined. We look forward
to working with you and the band again at our upcoming celebrations. Much appreciation for everything and good luck to you
in the future.

Jim,
Its been a pleasure having you play for Dance Mania's Ballroom Dances. You brought back the sounds of the big
band when everyone was swinging or waltzing. There were some who came just to listen and kept the beat with there toes
tapping. Even your performance of the Charleston was a lot of fun! Looking forward to having you again when we honor all our
military with the sounds of their music of their times.

We just wanted to thank you for making our reception so memorable and

wedding beautiful and memorable.

Hi Jim,
Many thanks to you and your group for an enjoyable night of outstanding
music. It was great the way you connected with the audience.
I appreciate your taking time to select just the right tunes for our
population. As you know, you were well received with very high
ratings and complimentary comments on the evaluations. Also, I
think there were 40 people which is a wonderful turnout. Since the
Friends of the Library sponsored the program, my manager and I were
really happy that it was such a success. I hope to have you back
some time in the future.
Thanks again,
Sara Blomquist - West Chicago Public Library
