"Magical! He Elevated Our Wedding I highly recommend Jean! He was superb, and all our guests praised his performances — both during the civil ceremony and later at the cake cutting, which turned out simply magical. Very professional and talented, we couldn’t have made a better choice. He truly made a difference and elevated our wedding to a whole new level compared to others we’ve recently attended."

"Felipe was such a GIFT to us on our Wedding Day! The Groom & I very much wanted a relaxing, beautiful atmosphere to accompany our beachside ceremony. We also had a rather eclectic group of guests from all different age groups & all over the world. I mention this because of all of these all walks of life gathered, literally ALL of them loved Felipe just as much as we did. We each received compliments all night long about how Beautifully Talented he was, how Perfect his musical selections were & his Wonderful, Easy-Going personality was welcome & fit right in. His Voice & Guitar are both Rich & True. He even sent us an mp3 of our 1st Dance song to listen to as we wish!"

"Kulturhuset Bølgen in Ålsgårde is a rare combination of concert hall and restaurant. Hornbæk Jazzklub hosts their events here every first Friday of the month. There is room for more than 100 diners, who take their seats an hour and a half before the music begins. When the musicians take the stage, the lights in the hall are dimmed and the tables retract, and the place becomes a concert hall, where the audience does not have to move, but can remain in their good seats at the tables. The bar is silent when the music is playing, but during the break it wakes up to action, like another Holger Danske, and rattles, not with the saber, but with glasses, bottles, coffee and cake. The audience mingles both with each other and with the musicians, and a temporary close and beautiful community emerges. It was the same good atmosphere that prevailed among the musicians when Jesper Hedegaard presented his Sound of Brasil at Bølgen on Friday. The Brazilian Samba has many ramifications, and each rhythm has its own life and its own name. Jesper Hedegaard knows a lot about that, having lived in Brazil for many years. He came there in 1976 and made friends who he took with him to Denmark. Some still live here, others have returned home and new ones have joined. On Friday it was bassist Sidiel Vieira and drummer Celso de Almeida. When they play it looks playful, but that's only because they are masters of their instruments. The music flows from them, like a tsunami, whose enormous power is not noticed until it meets resistance. On Friday, there was no opposition for Jesper Hedegaard can his sambas and the evening's soloist was world class. It was Alexander Kraglund who, without a single note, played the most terrific Brazilian violin and viola with countless small shifts in the rhythmic and surprising harmony changes in the melodic, which is an essential detail of the music. Alexander Kraglund mostly played the viola and the deep timbre blended beautifully with Jesper Hedegaard's piano playing, which mostly took place in the high register. The bassist played counterrhythm and very little walking bass as in jazz. He played merrily with the already dancing rhythms in moody counterplay and he could frolic freely thanks to the fact that the drummer provided a non-slip surface for the music. The evening's many different pieces of music were a mixture of Jesper Hedegaard's own compositions and the bossa nova that Antonio Carlos Jobim started in the early 60s with A Girl From Ipanema. One is to play the violin, another is to play the harmonica, and Alexander Kraglund used this instrument in about half of the pieces. In his violin playing, there were almost no references to Svend Asmussen, which is surprising. In the harmonica playing there was great inspiration from Toots Thielemans. Jesper Hedegaard may not be the world's best-known pianist, but by thinking of another pianist, namely Chick Corea (who plays at Kulturværftet at the end of April), and some of his samba-inspired compositions such as La Fiesta and Amando's Rhumba, you get a sense of the music that was played at Bølgen on Friday. The fact that Bølgen's own sound man, Casper Skovgaard, also knows which buttons to touch and not to touch is the extra quality that Bølgen has and that many other venues can only dream of."

"Die Zusammenarbeit mit David Häggi war ein eigentlicher Glücksfall – sowohl für mich also auch für die Gäste. David Häggi ist nicht nur ein grossartiger Musiker, sondern ein ebenso verlässlicher wie unkomplizierter Begleiter, der nach der Veranstaltung geduldig die Fragen der Gäste beantwortet hat. Ihm gebührt ein grosser Anteil am Gelingen des Abends. Working with David Häggi was a real stroke of luck – both for me and for the guests. David Häggi is not only a brilliant musician, but also a reliable and easy-going companion who patiently answered the guests’ questions after the event. He deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the evening."
