“Always an intriguing interpreter of standards....
straight-ahead be-bop drenched jazz at its best.”

“Ask Judy Chamberlain to sing your favorite song from the Great American Songbook, and you can make a safe bet that — no matter how obscure it may be — she’ll do it on the spot, usually including the rarely done verse, while adding her own gently swinging emphasis. If she doesn’t know the tune, hum a few bars and there’s a fair chance she’ll have it ready to go for the next set. Chamberlain’s easygoing interaction with her listeners transforms her New Year’s Eve celebrations into marvelously spontaneous events.”
“Judy Chamberlain is a walking encyclopedia of the Great American Songbook.”

“...Chamberlain has a voice that is fine and mellow, phrasing that is sublime and energy that is contagious... the crowd was enthralled... one talented jazz singer... ”
“A fine, articulate performer... easygoing interaction with her listeners... swinging... marvelously spontaneous... solidly reaffirming the music’s far-reaching capabilities... the pleasures of jazz as entertainment...”

“This band is so good, it’s silly. This is ridiculous — I’ve been over here listening to you and rocking out to the band all night, and now I’m supposed to follow you by playing RECORDS?”

“Thank you for making our wedding at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort such a perfect and blissful affair!! I don’t think I have ever smiled so much in my life, let alone in six too-short hours. You helped set the mood for such a wonderful, magical time. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best weddings ever.”
— Rachel M.
“I know I had a great wedding, because you had to scream to get them OFF the dance floor!”
— Jennifer T.
“You did it — you got my father to dance with me! It was my fondest wish that my father would dance with me on the night of my wedding, and I was so sure that it would never happen. Thank you so much, Judy.”
— E. Chu
“Thank you for providing the most wonderful and spectacular musical backdrop for our event. You and your musicians are so extraordinarily talented and everything you played sounded so perfect. Everyone raved about the amazing music and band. Thanks for making the party so memorable and for being such a delight to work with. I’m sure we’ll dream up additional events at which to enjoy your music!”

“Judy can read a crowd instantly. She has ‘it,’ that indefinable quality that made Sinatra great. Audiences love her. Onstage and off, she really knows how to take care of business.”

“I’ve worked at luxury properties for more than fifteen years, and I have never, EVER seen a crowd react to a band the way the people did here tonight. They were up on their feet, cheering and applauding before the bridal party even made their entrance. And it was like that all night. I am your new biggest fan.”
— M.L.
“The best thing we did for our daughter’s wedding was to hire Judy Chamberlain to do the music. Every single guest complimented our choice of band, and the dance floor was filled all night. The people who didn’t want to dance enjoyed the music, as well as the conversations at the tables. We’ve been to weddings where you couldn’t even hear yourselves think, so we really appreciated that the sound was evenly distributed and expertly managed. We had a specific theme-inspired song list, which Judy helped us create. She has an amazing repertoire and can give you anything you want! My daughter feels that Judy really set the tone for her wedding day, taking her cue from the look and feel that we wanted to achieve, and really personalizing the selections to help our guests ‘get it.’ She and her very talented musicians kept everyone mesmerized all night. We are still receiving compliments, three months later.”
— Barbara and Rand D.
“Anyone who is lucky enough to have Judy for a special event is getting a unique and authentic commodity, not some retro imitation of swing and jazz music. She could make Aretha Franklin jealous. She is very talented. What I like most about Judy is how she plays to a crowd. Whether she’s playing to 10 or 1000, she can completely capture an audience. Her performance is always wonderful. I do production for a large music venue in Los Angeles, and have heard a lot of bands. We are real music lovers, and almost everyone in our family has been a professional musician at one time or another. Our friends all love to dance. When we hired Judy to do our wedding they warned us: ‘This had better be good.’ And Judy and the band just blew them away. All night, people asked us, ‘Where did you find a band like this to play for your wedding?’”
— A.T.
“You were incredible. You gave me everything I wanted and did it so beautifully. You sang ‘At Last’ as though it was the first time rather than the 5,782nd time. The way you did ‘The Very Thought Of You’ was so perfect. I had a wonderful night — everything went right. The music was the perfect backdrop — fabulous voice, wonderful energy. The way you commemorated my grandparents’ sixtieth anniversary by telling the story of their first meeting and then playing ‘their song’ from all those years ago was absolutely beautiful; nobody who heard and saw that will ever forget it.”
— E.S.
“I am absolutely thrilled. You did exactly what you said you were going to do, all of the Louis Armstrong numbers and every single song I asked for. I knew you were going to be good, but you exceeded my wildest expectations.”
— F.K.
“We wanted to give our guests the time of their lives — actors and entertainment industry people tend to be very jaded. Ha! They nearly fainted over the music. From the minute you began the pre-ceremony selections we chose together until the end of what turned into a wonderfully exuberant party, they had a blast! Actually, we think someone really did faint — but that was much later.”
— T.M.
“I have never heard or seen a band that can compare with yours.
— J.Z.
“Judy makes magical moments like no other band I have ever worked with. And that’s what it’s all about for me: magic.”
