"We just wanted to say a big thank you for making our event so successful last Thursday. You were superb and we have had a number of emails from clients and friends complimenting you on how good you are. A few had very croaky voices the next day after singing along with you!! "

"Here's more clear evidence courtesy of Italian-born saxophonist Mirko Fait's quintet that tasteful jazz doesn't run its course at America's borders. These are accomplished musicians who know how to swing and can hold their heads high in any company, foreign or domestic. On the other hand, there is nothing here that sets Fait's group apart from many others of its size and makeup; it is simply a well-schooled working ensemble doing its thing, no more and no less. Fait, who plays soprano and tenor sax, is joined on the front line by flugel Roberto Piermartire, who, like Fait, is an accomplished musician whose solos are invariably polished if not otherwise exceptional. Pianist Antonio Zambrini is another strong soloist, while bassist Rodrigo Amaral amplifies the group's persona by adding his husky baritone on four selections. The quintet's other member, drummer Roby Giannella, is a solid timekeeper who tends to his duties without stepping on anyone's toes. Guitarist Giampiero Spina adds a pastel solo voice on "Sad Eyes Child," "B Mine" and "Funny Day." The program is composed primarily (eight of ten tracks) of compositions by Fait, and they are melodic and charming if less than memorable. Several are in a Latin mode including Amaral's vocals on "Quanno Chiove," "Rebecca Smile," "Nada Mais" and "Aquarela." While the quintet is pictured on the inside jacket performing at the Sant' Elpidio Jazz Festival, Confidences was recorded in a studio, most likely at Fait's home base, Milan. Other particulars are elusive, as the liner notes are in Italian. What is most germane, of course, is whether Fait's quintet is proficient and worth hearing, and the answer to that is yes. The songs, all originals, are for the most part bright and charming, and the quintet plays them well. Although there is nothing here that blazons superiority, neither is there anything that is less than well-managed. Track Listing: Lastlove; Sad Eyes’ Child; Quanno Chiove; Never Alone Melita; Rebecca Smile; All I Missed; B Mine; Nada Mais; Funny Day; Aquarela. Personnel: Mirko Fait: soprano, tenor saxophone; Roberto Piermartire: flugelhorn; Antonio Zambrini: piano; Giampiero Spina: guitar (2, 7, 9); Rodrigo Amaral: electric bass, voice; Roby Giannella: drums. Title: Confidences | Year Released: 2017 | Record Label: Jazz Di Marca"

"Our wedding was at Jaipur resort, we booked soulwaves for our sangeet night. When we were looking for the band, we wanted someone who can get our guests dancing and then we stumbled upon Soulwaves Profile. We immediately liked the band and they didn't disappoint us. So happy we went with them, we would like to give them 10/10"

"Each year, our elementary school holds a Music March Madness event where we explore a variety of musical styles and then vote each week to see which songs will move on to the next round! After weeks of learning and voting, “Fight Song/Amazing Grace” by the Piano Guys came out on top! With bagpipes being a key element in this fantastic piece, we thought it would be a great experience for the students to hear a bagpipe performing at school! To help in this celebration, Johnny Miner welcomed them to school with his incredible skill on the bagpipes out on the playground while the sun rose in the sky! The students danced, cheered, and for many of them, were able to hear a bagpipe live for the first time. He also taught them about how this instrument works and let some of them experience it up close. Johnny was great to work with. He communicated with us in a timely manner, answered our questions, and arrived early to be ready for the event. If we ever need help from a bagpiper in the future, I would love the change to get to work with Johnny Miner again! It was an unforgettable experience for our school community!"
