Their music feels like I aspire to feel every day - relaxed, refined, elevated. I grew up in a home where jazz was listened to daily, and I lived in New York, so I want just that little bit more from the live music I listen to. I’d hire California Cool again and again for every corporate and important personal event where I know my guests and I want to experience something special. Marta KCorporate Event, London
