I am writing to let you know that the students thoroughly enjoyed your performance at the University. Your performance was a great way to kick off the entertainment series. To be able to keep the attention of a standing room only crowd of students says a lot about a musician. You are very professional and so is your band.                                                                                                                  Bowie State University

One of his best shows was when he came with a broken hand.  The show turned out to be an amazing event, and he brought the house “park” down. I’ve since hired Keith for several other engagements, and Keith will forever be a jazz artist great, not only to me, but to Asbury Park’s collective communities.                                                                                                                         DLP PRODUCTIONS

The performance was awesome! Even days after the event, we were still receiving compliments on his behalf.  If you are looking for a professional and talented addition to any event, Keith Marks and the Trio are a great choice!                                                                                  Rutgers University, New Brunswick Campus

…Mr. Marks arrives with no fanfare, he sets up, he performs with equally professional sideman, and our audiences are always in for some terrific jazz music.  His promotional materials are also very professional and reflect well on his expertise.  I am ever impressed with how deeply Mr. Marks, Keith, reflects the rich history of jazz—as well as other genres of contemporary music.                                                                                          Rutgers University, Livingston Campus

I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to you and your ensemble for the splendid dinner music you provided at our sixth Annual Awards Dinner held at the United Nations on November 8.  Our 550 guests were inspired by the remarks made by President Jimmy Carter as he accepted his award.  This dinner was indeed our best to date; thank you for your part in making not only this dinner a success, but also the previous five dinners in which you provided enjoyable music.  Thank you for a superb performance.                                                                                                      The African-American Institute

Hi Keith.  I wanted to thank you for your appearance at Punahou’s Wo International Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Everyone who attended the concert has just raved about it.  The mixture of the funk, jazz, electronic sounds, etc. led to an inspiring and educational experience that many will not forget for a lifetime.  Bravo!                                                                                                                           Punahou School

The Pied Piper Flutist of New Jersey has enthralled our UH-Kapi’olani Community College ohana (family) for the last four years with his unique flute styling of funk, rock, pop, blues and jazz musical genres.  Keith puts his whole heart and soul into every song … He is a real musical treasure to have on your campus!                                                                                                     Kapi’olani Community College

Keith and his band recently played at The Rockefeller University during a 300 guest black-tie dinner in honor of David Rockefeller.  The music chosen was a selection of quiet jazz and standards, and was performed beautifully.  Keith and the other musicians who joined him were consummate professionals, and we were delighted with their performance.                                                                                                                 Rockefeller University

Keith Marks and his trio played all kinds of pieces, bringing calypso-type flair to his performance and really integrating his music into the theme and tempo of the event.  His flute playing is energetic and smooth and really easy to listen to and even dance to… I would not hesitate to hire Keith Marks and his trio for another performance at our school.                                                                                           Eastern Connecticut State University

It is hard to thank you adequately for having played during cocktails at the dinner Mr. Rockefeller hosted in honor of Nelson Mandela this month… You and your group added immeasurably to the success of the evening, and I am very grateful to you for having arranged your schedule on such short notice.                                                                                                                      Rockefeller and Co.

It is my distinct pleasure to thank you on behalf of the Campus Center Board and the University of Hawaii at Manoa for the outstanding performances you and your ensemble of musicians gave this year.  Having assembled such a talented group of musicians, some who have never worked with one another and render such quality, speaks volumes to the respect and skill you have as a musician… It helped to create such a warm and positive environment for the students.                                                                                                     University of Hawaii at Manoa

… jazz is merely one aspect of this gentleman’s talent; his repertoire includes standard and modern jazz, funk, afro-Caribbean, Latin jazz, reggae and salsa.  Mr. Marks also includes discussions about the music for academic programs as well… I highly recommend this artist…                                                                                                                         Drew University

The very fine performances that you have presented in the psychiatric institutions, the developmental centers and the shelters for the homeless, have provided the residents in the facilities with a spiritual uplift which has caused them to talk about your performances for weeks at a time, always asking for a return engagement.   It is apparent that you have a unique ability to capture and keep the attention of the audience.                                                                                                             Hospital Audiences, Inc

I want to thank you for presenting such an impressive concert as the lead in group for Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison’s reading and lecture on September 26.  Your music was wonderful.  The presentation given by Ms. Morrison was so dependent upon the mood or atmosphere established by the preceding act.  The Keith Marks Trio set the tone for the rest of the afternoon.                                                                                                          Salisbury State University

Not only did you enthrall them but your playing of The Negro National Anthem at the request of The Honorable Winnie Mandela during her VIP reception was laudable and impeccable.  If music is the window of the soul, you revealed a glimpse of heaven!                                                                                 Stuart Educational Leadership Group, Inc.

I would like to express our thanks to you and ‘Company’ for helping to make our Summer  “Jazz in the Park series a true “special event” in Monmouth County… The comments, which I have heard, have included the terms: “excellent musicality”, “jazz impresario”, “an intense musician with lots of soul and spirit” and “flautist extraordinaire”.                                                                                                                   Borough of Red Bank

The Keith Marks Quartet has performed for the Port Authority Bus Terminal, George Washington Bridge Bus Station, and the World Trade Center several times over the last few years... The quartet conducts itself in a highly professional manner and their performances are always well received. Mr. Marks exhibits a sensitivity of, and rapport with, the many diverse audiences in our public facilities. He and his group present high quality, versatile musical arrangements that electrify audiences of all ages and musical tastes. I recommend them highly.                                                                                                    The Port Authority of NY & NJ

The Keith Marks band is one of the most dynamic groups to ever perform here at Montgomery County Community College.  One of Keith’s greatest assets is that he is always early for his gigs.  He is cooperative and caters to the needs of the college while always electrifying the audience!  His energetic support of our Pan-African Festival guarantees rave reviews.  Keith, you always contribute in a big way to “The Village!”                                                                                        Montgomery County Community College

Keith Marks and his band have been a staple at our institution.  Each year, we host our annual ‘Summer Live Music Concert Series’, and it is always a pleasure having them.  Mr. Marks' talent is nothing short of a blessing; his smooth sounds and up-beat flavor keep our students and staff moving to the rhythm.  Keith Marks is always professional, prompt, and easy to work with.  Keith Marks’ flexibility to play for a group of any size or age is a sure bonus.  He is always a hit, and we look forward to working with Mr. Marks on future events.                                                                                                                    Essex County College
