"Hi Friedel, Thank you so much for the wonderful music you played at the high tea in my garden yesterday. It was a big contributor to the success of the afternoon and almost every guest has commented on the music. Your choice of music was perfect for the ambience that I wanted to create and there was a good mix of older covers & more modern ones too. Thank you also for your prompt responses to my enquiries and for arriving at the arranged time... one less thing to worry about when organising a function! I will not hesitate to request your services again or to recommend you to others. Thanks again Friedel & may we meet again soon."

"Charlene is absolutely stunning, what a talented lady. We booked her to play at our wedding which was last week for our arrival and she was such a hit with our guests. We have had so many comments from our guests since the day about how much they loved her playing, she completely set the mood. I highly recommend her 🎷🎷"

"Book this Trio! John and his fellow musicians are fantastic. We had a wonderful birthday party for my husband - everyone thoroughly enjoyed their jazz repertoire - the sound level was perfect and they added sophistication and joy to a fabulous evening carrying on playing long after they were due to finish. Thank you John for coming to Gloucestershire and creating such a wonderful atmosphere"

"Had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Saxy play at an impromptu gathering as he warmed up before playing at the Maritial Arts Hall of Fame on Costa Mesa, CA. Even as he was warming up, his tone was smooth, his music selections perfect for a intimate group of people from South Korea, Ghana, Mexico,and TX. So glad you have added this form of joy and healing to your talents as a medical doctor. Bravo!!"

"Rory were a fantastic part of our recent 40th birthday celebration. Not only was the music excellent, they put a great deal of effort into finding and playing Jazz that fitted the era we asked for. Communication with the band in advance was easy and they were very helpful as we prepared for the night. On the night itself they were excellent. The music was perfect, professionally delivered and the band made our guests feel at ease and welcome on the dance floor. Thank you. Wed definitely recommend and use again."

"Stéphan, un musicien talentueux, distingué et dynamique! J'ai eu la joie d'engager Stéphan comme saxophoniste pour mes 70 ans le 2 août 2025 lors d'un souper de fête entre amis chez moi. J'ai observé que Stéphan est passionné par sa musique et son instrument saxophone qu'il maîtrise à merveille avec une enthousiasme qui est contagieuse. Il nous avais offert une liste de choix et nous lui avons proposé certaines chansons aussi. Un beau mariage de slow et rythmes pour danser. Stéphan possède un sens élevé d'observation de l'environnement et des activités qui se passent autour de lui et sais s'ajuster pour se synchroniser avec vous et offrir le meilleur impact possible. Avoir Stéphan qui joue son saxophone pour une soirée est une vraie bénédiction. Nous avons eu tellement de plaisir à l'écouter et à s'amuser. Je recommande Stéphan à quiconque désire recruter un saxophoniste de choix et une personne avec une beauté d'âme et de coeur. Merci infiniment Stéphan! Suzanne"

"Paris, Galerie 19 Paul Fort, June 29, 2023, around 8:45 p.m. The trio is on tour. He had already come to our country last year, for a short tour of 3 dates in the South-West, at the initiative of Philippe Levreaud. Here he is back. The day before he was in Seine-et-Marne at the Moulin de Benne, and the days after that it will be Angoulême, Bordeaux and Puy-du-Lac. But for now they are here, for us, in this Gallery which regularly hosts the rarest music. A rustle of cymbals, the stridencies of the soprano sax, and a keyboard motif which installs a pulse: an incipit which smells good of the magic of improvised music. Then the improvisation is organized around a vehement pulse: the percussionist is at the center of the game. Not like a ‘groove machine’ which would convey preconceived ideas: rather like the living heart of an organism in permanent mutation. The pianist is in a double dialogue: rhythmic with the percussions, melodic-harmonic with the saxophonist. It is lyrical, tense, and a host of micro-events take place that bring the speech to incandescence. End of the first sequence. After brief words of welcome and introduction (Jamie Harris contributes his French) we set off headlong, towards the alto sax, in a crazy, almost Caribbean spin. Then back to the soprano, for a sort of ballad that will increase in intensity, on motifs that carry a bit of Africa within them. And this continent is still present in the following theme, which is a tribute to the musicians from Ghana with whom Trevor Watts collaborated at the end of the previous century. Throughout the concert, the music breathes under other horizons: Hispanic, Latin American, Middle Eastern. With sometimes melancholy accents that often resolve themselves into intense pulsations, towards a lyricism that is as torn as it is heartbreaking. In short, a bouquet of strong emotions and subtle sensations: music, in short. Audience conquered, columnist in heaven, ready to face the galley of the year to return from Porte d’Orléans to Bondy: due to ‘security measures’, no metro or bus; no RER ‘E’ but walking to Denfert Rochereau for the RER B to Gare du Nord, then line 5 to Bobigny, and 4 km of walking to reach my home. 2H45 to cover 18 short kilometres (where it usually takes about fifty minutes by public transport, from door to door). But the concert was really worth it! Xavier Prévost"

"Dr. Saxy is an excellent saxophonist with a true heart for the community. As an MD, he has found himself highly involved already in the Clarinda, IA Community. I am a school band director and Dr Hinojosa instantly wanted to step in and help inspire the students. I went to go see him perform at a local restaurant. His passion for music is so clear, his tone is a pure, and song selection is fun and tasteful! Excellent musician and person. Would highly recommend this musician for any gigs!"

"We organised The Cheers to play at our wedding in September 2018, and it was one of the best decisions of the day. I think there are three reasons why I would recommend them: 1. The music is great - The Cheers played a selection of oldies and new music to cater to the tastes of all our guests. We had a lot of kids and they even played some things purposefully to get them on the dance floor with their parents - a lovely touch. They are very talented musicians (with credentials!) and made everything sound great in our venue, even though they only had a short time to sound-check. We received numerous compliments that the band were excellent. They learnt our first dance perfectly and performed it exactly how we wanted. Just fantastic. 2. They are very professional - Our speeches and breakfast overran by about 45 minutes, but the band were extremely accommodating and calm about the delay. They setup extremely quickly to get us back on track and they were thoroughly proficient in breaking down at the end. They brought all their own equipment and everything looked and sounded great. 3. They were very easy to work with - Even though we didn’t meet the band until the day of the wedding, they were extremely easy and pleasant to deal with. Our main point of contact was Ben (the band manager) who was charming, quick to respond to calls and messages and very helpful. Formal arrangements were quick and professional and the entire interaction went very smoothly. Overall, the experience of hiring and hearing The Cheers was faultless. Thank you so much for rounding off our special day with fantastic entertainment."

"Maverick made my 60th birthday party into a special occasion that I will treasure. He entertained us by playing sax, guitar and also singing. He knew exactly what to play to get everyone on the dancefloor. All my guests just LOVED my party! Thank you Maverick! "
