Review Centre: Wedding Ceremony Musicians

"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"

"Michelle and David Macrae - Bride and Groom Ottawa Hi guys, We would like to thank you for making our wedding the most amazing night ever. We loved all your music, you guys are extremely talented. We really appreciated how you were able to learn our musical requests, especially the ones on short notice. You handled the evening like true professionals and it was obvious that you came prepared. You were very accommodating throughout the entire evening even well into the next day!! The dance floor was never empty. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you play in the future. Best regards, The Macrae's "

"I am so lucky to have found Valentin! He is an immensely talented musician, having him play for my Fiancé and I made my proposal unforgettable. I had a very specific request for him to surprise her and play a song I asked for by name. Not only did he take the time to compose the song to be played on a violin beautifully (his composition was more moving than the original song) but took the extra time coordinate the surprise with me and executed all of it perfectly. Responsive, kind and talented. If you need a violinist you could not find a better player."

"I was so excited to have a saxophone player at my wedding, but was worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone that would get my “vision.” Tyler was able to do just that, he matched my vision perfectly, his playing is so classy and romantic, but cool and jazzy as well. He did not just play his saxophone, he put on a SHOW! My guests could not stop raving about him, I can’t wait to see him at my next event! "
