“Mouthpiece Music is not your usual PR/Marketing firms. Most overpromise and underdeliver with a lot of excuses explaining why. Holly and her team are the exact opposite. To be fair, they do make promises. But then they work amazingly hard to not only realize these goals; they go one step further to exceed them. And, equally important, they always kept me in the loop. I love that I never had to chase down updates or information. In a world where competence is often mistaken for excellence, I can wholeheartedly recommend them for your next project.”
Steve Corn, Owner, BFM Jazz Label“I am SO pleased and grateful for all you’ve done with this project. You go above and beyond. I believe this album came out September 2017–and reviews are still coming in! You have my recommendation wherever I go.”

I cannot recommend Mouthpiece Music highly enough!

Thanks to their deep understanding of the jazz community, their tireless work-ethic and their consummate professionalism; my record garnered 20 positive reviews in print and online. Holly also managed to help get me featured on NPR in a 7 minute segment about me and my new record.

She’s very smart and a lot of fun to work with, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. She’s gotten me my first ever review in Downbeat (Four Stars), along with Jazz Times, Jazziz, and a 5-star review in All About Jazz. She also managed to get wonderful quotes from well-known writers Rex Reed and James Gavin, as well as many other reviews and even some live interviews. If you’re working on a new jazz CD, I couldn’t recommend her more!”
Mark Winkler, Jazz Vocalist / Lyricist“Holly tells the you truth. When she likes something, you know it. And then she gets down to work, and makes sure it gets reviewed and heard by everyone.

Madeline Eastman, Jazz Vocalist“Let’s get straight to the point: Holly Cooper and Mouthpiece Music get results. They put the music out there where people are going to hear it, write about it, and talk about it. And buy it.When I released my previous CD, I did not hire her (did not know who she was back then), and what happened was a whole lot of nothing. So the CD basically went straight to oblivion. When the new CD (“Down the Line”) came out, I wised up and hired her, and the explosion of publicity has been amazing.
The CD already has numerous reviews, including highly visible outlets such as DownBeat. Holly and colleagues obviously know a lot of people and have a lot of pull. You are not going to go wrong putting Holly Cooper and Mouthpiece Music on the payroll to get your music to stand out amongst the zillion jazz records released every year. What’s more, she’s very quick to get things done and is a delight to work with. I won’t hesitate to have her promote my next CD, that’s for sure!”
Bruce Torff, Composer“Holly Cooper has been a diligent promoter who has worked tirelessly to get my CD “Born to be Blue” listened to and reviewed by numerous publications with excellent results.She was “on it” from the very start of the campaign, and her knowledge and background made me feel that she understood my music and what I was trying to convey; it felt like she really cared about the success of the CD, and that I was not just another number. Her warm, down-to-earth, personal approach made it a real pleasure.”
Steve Heckman, Multi-Woodwind Instrumentalist“I am more then pleased that I chose Holly Cooper to work on Lost in the Stars. From beginning to the end of the campaign, I knew my project was in the hands of someone who really knew jazz, understood what we were trying to do with this CD. Holly followed up on everything she said she would do, and the results were wonderful! Let’s put it this way. I am working again with Holly on my second CD for Summit Records.She is creative, honest and a pleasure to work with. I could not be happier.”
Deborah Shulman, Jazz Vocalist“If you have any money to promote your album, I can’t think of a better way to spend it than to hire Mouthpiece Music. Holly knows the business and many people in it. She’s hard working and most importantly honest. She did the best for me that anyone could. It’s a pleasure to highly recommend her to any and everyone!”
Michael Dees, Jazz Vocalist / Songwriter“I am very grateful to Mouthpiece Music – and especially to Holly Cooper for her insightful and spirited campaign for my chamber band recording of “Simple Gifts” – an unusual and eclectic project – which did not faze Holly in the least! She promoted the album with know-how and gusto, resulting in many enthusiastic reviews by fine – and smart! – writers, including 3 1/2 STARS in DownBeat and 5 STARS from All About Jazz. = I would not hesitate to employ Mouthpiece Music again!’
Susan Krebs, Jazz Vocalist“What has impressed us the most about Holly is how she genuinely cares about her clients and promotes them energetically. In our case, within a very short time after the CD was released, she was able to attain a sizeable number of media outlets to pay attention to the recording and compose prompt reviews. She put us on the map – and in a very positive way. We would recommend her to anyone looking for promotional assistance. We will certainly employ her again for future recordings!”
