Consummate professional. Hired Judy to play piano but also as an arranger this time for my cover of "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!" and it was incredible work. Made sorting out the fun 1940's style block harmonies much faster and straightforward and the song benefitted from the details she put into the arrangement.

Judy is an excellent musican and great pianist.
Judy was an excellent pianist to work with who wrote and played an arrangement of a difficult metal piece.
She worked with me through multiple stages of revisions of wildly different styles and switched to a different song/arrangement mid-project. It was fantastic working with her and I would gladly do so again!Really knew how to emulate the sound and style I was going for so well!
Don't think I would have been able to get such a great sounds on my piano composition without her ideas!
Judy is remarkable to work with, creative, responsive, talented and professional. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommended.
