Southern gents and childhood best friends, Jeremy Davis and Clay Johnson, have created something unique – the fabulous Equinox orchestra – a fiery hot and soulful Southern big band that is the ‘Hope Diamond’ of entertainment. That is to say, there is only one and it is spectacular! Audiences from Napa to NYC, Miami to Canada, and Europe to the Middle East have emphatically agreed with thunderous ovations, and it all started in a junior high band program in Louisiana. This is Great American Music at it’s finest.

Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Jazz Orchestra performed for our 5th anniversary celebration here at the beautiful Carson Center in Paducah , KY. Wow, what a big band! These guys put on one amazing program! The sound, look and presence of the group were absolutely fantastic and professional in every way. They entertained a very distinguished audience during dinner and ended the evening with the whole crowd dancing the night away. Jeremy Davis and this crew were considerate, flexible and caring. I would highly recommend Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Jazz Orchestra to anyone looking for something special.

[other ensembles] don’t have the breadth and verve of the Equinox Orchestra.

A real class act! Undoubtedly the best concert I’ve attended in years. Just the right mix of jazz, ballads, pop and traditional favorites performed by a superbly polished orchestra. I found myself totally caught up in the big band experience.

Our audience here at the CPAC enjoyed your performance, you were fantastic! I was impressed with your responsiveness and professionalism. You have been terrific to work with and you surround yourself with great people. It was a pleasure to have you all with us in Cedarburg.

The Equinox Jazz Orchestra exceeded our expectations on every level. With a crowd notoriously hard to please, you had them swinging from the first song to the last.

Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Jazz Orchestra were a presenter’s dream! The audience left saying, Bring them back next year! Their tribute to our Wounded Warrior guests and Military Veterans added to a high-spirited evening. Jeremy and the guys really connected with students at the Educational Outreach—not only teaching them about jazz, but about how to be successful in life. They are not only amazing entertainers; they are amazing people!

From a presenter’s point of view, Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Jazz Band was everything I expected and more.  The show ran smoothly from beginning to end. The variety of music kept everyone happy. Our audiences enjoy when an artist takes time to speak to them from the stage.  Throughout the show, Jeremy and Clay incorporated some of their personal history as well as the history of many of the songs performed. They also included stories about how lyrics were inspired for certain songs and the stories were as entertaining as they were enlightening. Our audience was eating right out of their hands. I love to watch my audience during a performance and when you look out and all you see is smiling faces, you know you have a winner!

BRAVO!!! Jeremy Davis and the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra, was exactly what we were looking for to open our Diamond Anniversary season. A crowd pleasing gala evening; the orchestra was fantastic and the vocal quality of the singers, unparalleled. The group was friendly, interacted well with the audience and were easy to work with. I would highly recommend them.
