Here's what people are saying... about The James Zeller Trio

"I just wanted to send a note to say thank you SO MUCH for a wonderful performance at my parents 50th anniversary party in N.H. this summer. Your trio really helped enhance our whole "1920's Great Gatsby" theme and so many of the guests asked "Where did you find these guys? They are fantastic!" You really read the crowd well on when to play for just ambience and when to play for dancing. You really helped to make this celebration all the more special and we all appreciate it. Thank you again!"
