Review Centre: Bossa Nova Bands

"Wow, what a night! Our garden party was a huge success, thanks in part to the presence of De Jazz Centrale! A wonderful evening, with fantastic music from the Allround Jazz Quartet. Clear communication, great people who think along with you, and super friendly, professional musicians. They'll definitely be back for the next party!"

"I wanted to say that Rory and his trio were absolutely first class. They arrived in plenty of time before the event and were super talented. They helped create what felt like a scene out of a movie with all our friends standing around drinking champagne and chatting against the backdrop of the setting sun and superb jazz. I had lots of people asking after the band so I will be passing on your details, if you dont mind and keeping you in mind for all future events."

"Great! Your performance was great! I personally found it a pity that the music outside wasn't as audible, so you got less attention than you deserved. Fortunately, that improved later in the evening and there was even some dancing. "

"Igor played the saxophone at our wedding cocktail hour. He was AMAZING! Super lively and sounded so awesome!!! All our guests made comments about how much they loved him too! Communication with him was also super easy and he was always prompt to answer any questions we had! 10/10 recommend him!"

"Thank you so much for a fantastic delivery - it was a joy to hear you play and all the guests loved it! It was magical when you came in and played No Man No Cry during dinner. :) We greatly appreciated that. And thank you very much for being so easy to plan with, flexible and entertaining on the day itself. We are so pleased that such a good musician as you could play at our wedding."

"Igor was our saxophonist for my wife and my wedding service. He arrived on time (a little early) to set up. The music list he provided was extensive and included all of the hit songs we were hoping for. He set himself up quickly and was very polite and easy to work with. His musical talents were phenomenal. He had my mother-in-law in tears when he played a few of her favourite songs ("fly me to the moon" in particular). He played "1000 years" as the entry song for my partner and helped set the mood for what was a beautiful service. Our experience with Igor was extremely positive and both myself and my wife highly recommend that anyone who wants a live performer for a special occasion consider throwing in a little saxophone provided by Igor, you're likely to fall in love with it!"

"I had the pleasure of having Igor come out for my engagement reception and he was incredible. The live tunes were really the final missing touch on a beautiful outdoor event. He was on point when it came to the song selection and setting the tone - if anyone would to ask me I would recommend to have him at your special occasion."

"Our experience with Igor was perfect! My wife and I hired Igor to play saxophone during our wedding cocktail hour and dinner service. Igor is a true professional. He played beautifully and really set the tone for the celebration. Our wedding venue team was chaotic, and we were lucky that our vendors were so prepared and cool under pressure, Igor included. Igor brought his own set up and was so relaxed— we never worried. He was also wonderful to talk to and we wish we could have had a longer conversation at the reception."

"Igor played for 3 hours at our wedding and we couldn't have been happier and more grateful. We had a small wedding and were looking for a sax player to play jazz during the ceremony and throughout dinner. He knew exactly what to do and play - we connected only briefly before but he was so experienced he knew exactly what we needed! By far the best sax player we have heard. Don't look any further, book Igor I promise you won't be disappointed!"

"What impressed me most was their ability to adapt to the vibe of the evening. They started with softer tunes during the cocktail hour, setting an elegant backdrop, and gradually picked up the pace, engaging our guests and getting everyone on their feet. Additionally, the duo was extremely professional and accommodating. They listened to our preferences and tailored the repertoire to fit our requests, making every moment feel special. If you’re looking for a duo that can bring the warmth and joy of Brazilian music to your event, they are definitely the right choice. Thanks to them, our evening was a resounding success!"
