Vince Bilardo Orchestras & Entertainment Agency Customer Comments "... When I was asked about music for the evening, I thought, who else but Vince Bilardo. Who could better represent Kansas City. I have had the good fortune to hear you on several occasions, and knew that you were just what we were looking for. You certainly did a wonderful performance for us. Those that I spoke with felt that the music was the finest we have heard. Thanks again for your contribution to this most important event." - John I. Haynes Vice-president American College of Dentists. "...the mix of the groups fit each event so very well, but the big band sound on Tuesday evening was fantastic. I think the compliments by MARVIN HAMLISCH said it all." - Joyce Hurt, FARMLAND INDUSTRIES "...music your orchestra provided during our cocktail hour and dinner added greatly in rounding out our evening's entertainment which culminated with the performance of the KINGSTON TRIO." - James L. Patton, BLACK & VEATCH "...your preparation, communications, and performance were in the best traditions of quality and professionalism. You really outdid yourself, however, in booking BRENDA BYERS for our show." - E.S.

It also takes a good look at KC jazz at its best in 2001. It's wonderful how things come together." A Review from the England - Mainly Big Bands "Do it right and you'll do it longer. A maxim that occurs to me whenever I discover a senior musician, in this case a septuagenarian who has great chops.Such is the case with drummer Vince Bilardo. The albums is a tribute to this unstoppable veteran who has clearly completely lost interest in the passage of time, still thinks he's a teenager!"
