"We highly recomend Mr. Gabriel Latis for any successful event! He is a great romanian pianist who comes from a family of cultured people. It was a great honor and joy for us, the bride and groom, and all the guests to have a very special piano performance.The quality and the beauty of the performance were beyond expectations and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts once again!

"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."

"Euphoric were amazing! They were very helpful and attentive, made our NYE party planning easier. All our requests were fulfilled, and they really created an amazing NYE party atmosphere. The musicians themselves arrived to the venue very early and prepared everything in good time, also leaving them time to get to know the venue and practice. During the performance they moved around the venue interacting with our guests and keeping a fun and lively vibe. They did not stop at just performing, and went an extra mile, by making it a true entertainment, with interacting, dancing, and hosting."

"Ho avuto il piacere di ascoltare Sonia Vettorato, la mia maestra di pianoforte, al matrimonio di un amico di famiglia e in alcuni concerti. E' veramente brava. Sa spaziare dalla musica classica, alla musica moderna, al pop e al jazz senza problemi, sia come solista che in gruppo. Si sente che la musica è la sua passione, perché riesce a trasmettere la magia del brano che sta suonando. Quando è insieme a una cantante o fa parte di una band, il suo pianoforte non fa solo da accompagnamento, diventa protagonista. Brava Sonia, vai avanti così."

"Wow, what a fantastic evening we had for our surprise 45th Wedding Anniversary, thank you so much. So much better than a disco. As I understand you were in contact with my daughter to discuss what sort of evening we wanted and you catered for us brilliantly, from our young grandchildren to the 'pensioners'. The dancefloor was full all evening. Couldn't recommend you highly enough. Thank you x Jill and John Stringer (45 Wedding Anniversary)"

"We wanted a small intimate gathering so we only invited 15 guests. Jose Luis and I are old high school buddies and since he was in town we wanted to come play for me and my wife. I’d be the first time I’d see him play since high school. So he came and set up, talked with some of the guests and we all felt like close friends. He starts off the backing track, Then all of a sudden he starts playing. My gosh the room got full of beautiful music! Not loud but abundantly pleasurable. We and our friends were impressed. He played English & Spanish tunes, old and new. One guest told me’ “He’s so good. Makes me wish I would have picked up an instrument in high school and learned to play!”. Between songs he’d talk to the audience and put everyone at ease. He’d tell us stories about the next tune and they were all #1s! At the end of the night we all had a great time. No one left early. One guest said, “can’t wait to see him again! When is he coming back??”. We’ll we’re working on that! Unforgettable evening!"
