Listen to audition reels

Before starting to collaborate with a musician, it's important to listen carefully to their audition reels. This type of recording can give you an insight into the level of professionalism and talent they bring to the stage. Ask the musician to provide you with samples of their musical repertoire, so that you can make sure it fits with your event's style and theme. Listening to these recordings will also help you determine whether or not the musician has proper technique for your performance needs.
