Review Centre: Jazz Bands

"As musicians ourselves, we thought finding the perfect music to accompany our wedding in Tuscany would be difficult. However Blue Moon Jazz quickly set us at ease. After being impressed with their sound on video, we managed to organise seeing the band instrumentally at a nearby venue they were playing whilst visiting our venue. They were so friendly and happy to let us come along for a live listen. They sounded even better in real life! Pianist and band leader Raphael was informative and communicative throughout our planning process. Their musicianship and talent is top notch and they sounded amazing during our ceremony, aperitif and party. The guests all commented on how great they sounded and how much they enjoyed dancing and singing along. The vocals and each instrument were played to perfection. I cannot recommend them enough. To top it off Blue Moon let us play a song with them on the wedding night! Thank you Raphael, Bernardo, Paolo & Nanà, you were awesome! "

"Our contact at Agriturismo La Lucciolaia told us of Tea For Three as well as a few other bands. Once we listened to their music, we did not even listen to the others. They has a great combination of old and newer songs and a unique sound. We contacted Stefano and he could not have been more helpful. We had to reschedule our wedding 4 times over two years due to COVID and he was flexible in making the changes. Our wedding party was a mix of older and younger folks and so we were concerned that TF3’s style might not make everyone happy. We shouldn’t have worried…everyone loved the music. Our day went well and they were a big part of the success. Grazie Mille TF3 !"

"Non avremmo potuto chiedere di meglio: abbiamo ingaggiato i Tea for three in versione trio e hanno superato di gran lunga le nostre aspettative. Non avevamo dubbi che la scaletta sarebbe stata perfetta per noi, che la voce di Elena e la musica sarebbero state impeccabili ma... Oltre ad essere addirittura meglio dal vivo rispetto ai video che avevamo visto e ascoltato... Quello che davvero ci ha stupite e rassicurate fin dal primo contatto telefonico è stata la professionalità e la presa in carico della situazione. Elena e i ragazzi non solo hanno capito e accolto le nostre richieste... Autonomi e allo stesso tempo perfettamente in sintonia con il succedersi dei momenti, sono stati un punto fermo per tutta la serata; al primo incontro di persona, 10 giorni prima dell'evento, quando ancora tante cose erano in forse e indefinite, conoscere Elena mi ha fatto tirare un sospiro di sollievo, e ha veramente fatto la differenza nel caos di ansia da preparativi. Sono una sicurezza prima durante e dopo (vedi labirinto del borderò siae) l'evento! ANCORA GRAZIE!"

"We each contacted Rahael and booked four musicians for our wedding in July. The contact, the contracting and then the performance in Italy (Lake Orta) went flawlessly. All guests as well as we enjoyed it incredibly. The band played for 4 hours with 15 minute interruptions. Everything with the breaks for the speeches and games worked excellently. Also, the band prepared the microphone and speakers for the ceremony and also played songs on the Iphone (our speaker wanted it that way). Everything was really wonderful and we would book the blue moon italian jazz band again anytime. Highly recommended! Vinz& Miriam"

"Well, where can I start! From initially stumbling upon Dr Jazz and realising that there was something rather special about their approach and unique sound, to the very first email and phone calls to discuss our plans for the day, all the way through to our Wedding day itself – Dr Jazz and company were brilliant. Helpful, friendly, and wonderfully entertaining, we could not have asked for anything more. The set itself was fantastic – we were blown away with how much of an impact they made, not only in terms of everyone feeling the urge to get up to dance (which was a slight worry for us before the day!), but also with their spot on interaction with the guests, and overall management and ownership of the evening. We really knew we’d made the right decision as soon as the first note was played – talk about creating a spectacle!! In terms of a front man Matthew is absolutely superb, and his supporting crew of brilliantly talented musicians helped make our day one to remember for both us and our guests. Thank you all so very much for everything. We know what it’s like trying to find the ‘right band’, ourselves having trawled through many hundreds of sample tracks from other people and groups, and the worries that come with it regarding whether people will like it, whether it’ll be well received etc. The best advice I can honestly give is that if you are sitting there reading this review, and you have enjoyed the sample tracks you’ve listened to, then please don’t hesitate to book these guys. You will not regret it, and you and your guests will certainly never forget it. They were nothing short of marvellous. Once again we wanted to say thank you very much for everything – we really had a fantastic time, as did everyone else in attendance, and it is all thanks to you and your crew. You certainly made the evening, if not the day for us, and we are so pleased and lucky to have been able to book you to play for us. You were nothing short of brilliant, and we can’t stop talking or thinking about how amazing you were (and nor can anyone else!) It was so lovely to meet you all in person. All the best for the future, and please rest assured that we’ll be singing your praises for the years to come!"

"Let’s face it. Music soothes, heals, excites, entertains and inspires. Legendary Jazz Drummer and Bandleader, Art Blakey even said “(it) washes away the dust of everyday life.” I’ll go with that. That very moment when any artist starts to sing or play, is critical. We all want to be entertained, not just played to. And one more observation, if they look like they’re having fun - I am too. The Jazz Kings performed to a sell-out audience at the Brisbane Jazz Club: they brought their musical goods right through the front door and into our hearts and souls. The key difference is in the delivery. It’s called engagement, the sparkle in their eyes as they share their love of Jazz with everyone in the room. The Jazz Kings' repertoire is wide, impressive and constantly updated. It includes a couple of original pieces, but you can’t quite tell as they are very cleverly cloaked with the fabric of that particular era. What makes their evening different is their cheerful unpredictability. Not every song has each person doing an instrumental. (Which often can be tedious.) Two tunes might even be performed one after another without a formal introduction. Look out for some gentle fun inclusion with the audience – that’s the chance to sing along. It’s an old-fashioned but proven concept that has you laughing – and wondering where the night went. All-in-all, a thoroughly entertaining night. I’d go again. And again!"

"Hiring The Italian Soul & Jazz Band for our wedding in Venice was the best decision we made. Their smooth jazz and lively soul set the perfect tone for the entire celebration. Our guests still talk about the band months later! Highly recommended"

"We can’t recommend RMD Band enough! They are a group of incredibly professional and talented musicians who know exactly how to create an amazing atmosphere. Every time they perform at Garahe Street Foods, our venue is packed with a full house, and the energy is always incredible. Guests sing along, dance, and truly enjoy every moment of the live entertainment they bring. Their passion, talent, and connection with the crowd make every performance memorable. Thank you, RMD Band, for always giving your best and making every event at Garahe Street Foods such a huge success. We look forward to having you back again and again! Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional live entertainment! 🎶👏"

"12/10 For This Group!!! I was in charge of booking a 15 person marching band for a company trade show and WOW did The Sidewalk Crusaders impress!!! Not only was Peter incredibly professional and easy to work with, the music and band was exactly what we were hoping for. They were punctual, friendly and dedicated to making the best show possible for us. I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for an amazing band to liven up an event/show. Their music was on point and made for a very memorable event. Thank you Peter and team for doing such a great job!"
