The Julie Mason Trio was superb at our wedding. Many thanks for your assistance.
Richard Smith

Thank you for doing a terrific job last night. The whole night was a great success, and you and your band set the perfect ambience. Our client is absolutely delighted, and “Cheek To Cheek” was an absolute highlight.
Jennifer Austin, Epiphany Ltd. Auckland Absolutely perfect selection for a very stylish function. Julie adapted her performance beautifully to suit the ambience and format of our function. Would use Julie for every event of this nature- a class act!

The Julie Mason Trio was superb at our wedding.
Richard Smith

Credit must go to Julie Mason for her overall musicianship on this gig : great playing and singing, superb choice of material, polished arrangements, and well chosen musicians who delivered a great opening night for the festival.
Bay Of Plenty Times review of Tauranga National jazz festival,

Smooth, silky, sumptuous. Think of any positive adjective you like and it applies to the Julie Mason Quartet. They epitomised the soul of the event- a celebration of the arts, and a stylish night out.
Taranaki Daily
News review of Taranaki Arts Festival.

Much jazzier than Diana Krall
Roger Marbeck
TVNZ’s Good Morning,

ESTATE (summer) is a marvellously engaging CD by a female jazz artist in her prime, a generous offering of all her gifts, and a must for anyone who loves jazz vocalists
