 Kari
Gaffney is the owner of Kari-On Productions. She is a Nationally
and Internationally Acclaimed Jazz Vocalist that travels the country
performing in Concert, Club, Corporate, Wedding, and Private settings.
Her vision for starting Kari-On Productions is to provide quality
experienced entertainment for clients with an emphasis for detail.
Over the years Kari has performed with hundreds of highly qualified
musicians. Many have been sidemen for a variety of National Acts,
ranging from James Brown, Stan Getz, Tower of Power, Taj Mahal,
Maynard Ferguson, Carmen McRae and many more. Let Kari's contacts,
leadership and coordinating skills ensure you have the most qualified
and experienced musicians performing at your event.
Events tend to have a life of their own. That's why we take special
interest in your ideas and desires. Your vision is important.
Envisioning how your reception or event will unfold is your main
concern, which is why hiring experienced musicians is important.
You don't want your event to fall apart because your entertainment
is inexperienced. We do a timeline, learn special songs, offer
suggestions, listen to input from the Event Planner, Individual,
Bride/Groom etc… but the best thing we offer is on the job
experience. The type of experience that helps you feel confident
we can roll with the spontaneous atmosphere of your event.
Gaffney and her musicians create musical magic at elegant soirees
all over the East Coast, with special emphasis on the Southeastern
Region. However, arrangements can be made to bring the band to
you anywhere in the United States.

Donaldson
Jazz Improv. Magazine

"With maturity and confidence,
Gaffney derives the value of her interpretations from the potential
of each of the songs themselves, even as she is consistent with
her own voice that projects coolness within a haunting alto
range. Avoiding some of the vocal trickery that other singers
employ, mostly to draw attention to their technical strenghts
instead of the song's worth, Gaffney slowly and convincingly
lets a song unfold, letting it's lyrics and melody take
her along with it, even as she remains firmly in control of
its delivery." |

"Jazz
vocalist are expected to hit the right notes, or pursue another
line of work. Gaffney not only hits the right notes, she does
so with the skill of a weathered instrumentalist, making changes
that one would more often expect from a pianist or guitarist." |

"Gaffney’s
ability to take a song
and fill it with heartfelt emotion and rhythmic sensibility
will be
the cornerstone of her success.
The captivating beauty and
purity of her voice appears at
ever turn."

"Whether it's the rich, resonant
tone of album opener, "Speak Low"
or the sounds of "Four", Gaffney
never misses the mark with her
vocal delivery".

"She is deserving of praise, with
a timbre that is smooth as glass.
Because of her vocal skills,
she has the potential to grab
cross-market sales like any
contemporary singer out there." |

Bill Frost
Salt Lake City Weekly
"Georgia isn't exactly known
as a hotbead for jazz, nor are
songs like Patsy Cline's "Walking
After Midnight" considered
candidates for jazzy makeovers,
Augusta chanteuse Kari Gaffney
has upended both theories. On
her latest disc, Satin Doll the
singer's smoky voice runs over
the works of Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, Wes Montgomery
and
more like honey." |

"Kari has an attractive alto
voice and puts her material
through with conviction,
especially a very torchy take
on "Walking after Midnight". |

"West Coast Blues is as hip as it get's with Gaffney's
many talents merging to present this
tune sung on pitch (and) with clarity of expression, two
important elements found in every
good vocalist." |
