Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 16, 2010•From Schaumburg, IL

Mike Knauf was a pleasure to work with from the onset. Die Musicmeisters made our parents 50th anniversary even more memorable! Our friends and family have continued to tell us how much fun the band was.

Kentucky Derby Party•Reviewed on May 3, 2010•From Cicero, IL

Mike and his Dixilenad Jazz Band were phenomenal. Their talent and expertise got our guest at the "Kentucky Derby Party" in the mood! Mike was a "gem" to work with and very professional.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 3, 2010•From Rosemont, IL

The music Mike provided was simply outstanding! He and his hired keyboardist Tom were just wonderful and they made our party a pleasurable memory for all that’ll never be forgotten. Mike was easy to work with on the business side and both he and Tom were very friendly professional gentlemen. We left the song selections to Mike and he was spot on! All night long our guests were commenting on how WONDERFUL they played. Several guests requested his business card and were planning on scheduling Mike in the future for their own parties. I can’t thank Mike enough for making my mom’s birthday party an event that we’ll all remember forever…

Funeral•Reviewed on March 7, 2011•From West Chicago, IL

Mike was extremely respectful and gentle during a difficult time for my family. My mother had often said that she would like a Dixieland band for her funeral. I had envisioned this as a huge project, but I was determined to make it happen as a tribute for her. Mike made it so easy. He gave me what I wanted and was able to provide an excellent musical experience. I wanted my family and friends to feel a sense of joy as they left the church and it was gratifying to see smiles on their faces when the band broke into a jam on "When the Saints Go Marching In". I know my mother would have loved it. Thanks!

Mardi Gras Party•Reviewed on February 14, 2013•From Chicago, IL

Mike Knauf Music added a lot to our Mardi Gras party. Setting up the gig was very simple because Mike Knauf stayed in contact. On the day of the event, the band arrived promptly and played great live music that really reflected the Mardi Gras spirit. The guests only had positive things to say and they enjoyed dancing to the music. The only criticism or needed improvement would be the transitions between songs. There seemed to be some dead time transitioning from song to song. Otherwise, Mike Knauf Music and the Dixieland Jazz Cats were a great band to have at our Mardi Gras celebration.

Funeral•Reviewed on November 25, 2012•From Stickney, IL

Overall, the experience delighted everyone! If I could offer any criticism it would be to not make such a fast exit. It seemed like some of the band members were in a rush to get to another gig. I understand some of the members were running late but there did seem to be a big rush to leave. That being said, I would definitely use Mike Knauf again, they were wonderful. In fact, the singer was pure fun! The guys looked sharp and executed a nice balance of starting out slow and ending on a peppy note. These guys can do it all. Everyone loved the concept of having New Orleans jazz-style funeral march. Bravo!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 3, 2010•From Stevensville, MI

I was completely disapointed. I explained that I wanted waltzes, tangos, Cha-Chas and such. He started out great, but then he started taking request from teenagers during his second set! My final straw was when he played "Friends from Low Places" by 9:30. It set the wrong mood. My family, including me, were not dancing; however, the teenagers were dominating the dance floor. The worse part was when my father asked the band to play the music I selected, and he was told that they have a list that they were following. As the bride, this was not the memory I wanted.

I am sorry for any disappointment you experienced. I was surprised, as no one complained to us about our music the entire evening. We designed our sets from all of the music you requested. You asked us to play a variety of music throughout the evening, as your family would like to dance to everything! We made sure we incorporated a mixture of music in each set to help please you and everyone at the party. We also noticed the dance floor was filled for over two hours straight and everyone seemed to be enjoying the variety of music. There were people coming up throughout the evening asking for specific songs. We were trying to play requests, as well as stay to t

Event•Reviewed on March 14, 2014•From Palos Hills, IL

Mike Knauf and his musicians were late, but traffic really couldn't be helped. The band set up and played some tunes that were recognized and that were also new and contemporary. Our patrons enjoyed the music a lot and they interacted well with the musicians. I would have them again at our institution.
