"I reached out HBSax for a cocktail + party service. I wasn't sure how saxophone music would workout but it was simply perfect! We loved each moment, the songs were really for all tastes so it was a pleasant surprise."

"A wonderful evening on Friday 6 April in Kulturhuset Bølgen with Brazilian music that made the temperature rise to well over 30 degrees and the feeling of being in the middle of the beaches in Rio. A great master and composer - Jesper Hedegaard is just so deeply rooted in his material that Brazilian should be written as a nationality in his passport... Alexander Kraglund is a master of his instruments, violin, viola and harmonica, and the Brazilian supplement with bassist Sidiel Vieira and drummer Celso de Almeida makes it all complete. The concert was recorded for RadioJazz.dk"

"Thank you very much, guys. You made the night. The first dance - You are so beautiful- played live was amazing. Gigi and me loved it. Thanks for being punctual and flexible with timing. You know how weddings are! We will definitely get in touch for my best man’s wedding party next year. You all were brilliant!"

"Rory provided the musical background to our wedding at Old Marylebone Town Hall and after party at home. He was superb, both creating a wonderful mood, and interpreting what we wanted. We (my wife and I) couldnt more highly recommend him. Craig and Dina 01.08.22"

"Rory opened our wedding party in London with his incredible saxophone skills, giving a skilful and energetic performance to start the night with style. His jazzy tones playing over a mix of modern day classics from Smooth Operator to Despacito put smiles on the faces of every guest. Rory played a solo set for an hour and a half but also jumped on his feet and grabbed his sax to play along to some of the DJs set throughout the night giving the crowd of dancers a musical treat every time he did. Many guests commented on how friendly and talented he was and I would highly recommend him for anyone considering Rory for their future celebrations."

"My wife and I had The Latin Formula as the band for our wedding! They were brilliant in every way, equal parts professional and super relaxed. They arrived on time, set up quickly and were a complete success! The crowd loved them and their brilliant musicality, the level of audience participation was just perfect and they looked especially dashing in their suits. I would book them again in an instant and recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great event!"

"I was in need of a music duo one evening to play at an event the next day at around 1 pm, and luckily I came across this fantastic band. They were very swift in their communication, and the next morning all was arranged with contracts signed and sealed. All worked like clockwork and the band played brilliantly. Thank you! "

"Jesper Hedegaard is almost more Brazilian than Danish. Since 1976, he has devoted his life to Brazilian music, has grown together with the part of it that builds a bridge to jazz. He is a well-known and treasured musician in Brazil and a tireless communicator of the rich Brazilian music in Denmark without, moreover, making a bigger being out of himself. It's the music - that's what it's all about. This is clearly reflected on his latest CD, a modest affair of just over half an hour. The beautiful trio playing with drummer Magno Bissoli and bassist Sidiel Vieira shows Hedegaard at home in the rich borderland between Brazilian and jazz. Apart from two of his own compositions, Jesper Hedegaard plays with a trio of compositions by Lúcio Alves, Ary Barroso, Tom Jobim, Bruno Martino and Bruno Brighetti. Beautiful and endearing with a restraint that helps build tension that sharpens attention. During the apparently effortless, elegantly swinging playing, a dialogue unfolds between the three musicians, which sharpens the desire for more than the record's 33 minutes. However, Bissoli is sometimes so discreet in his playing that he almost disappears. A pity, because here one of Brazil's best and most generous musicians could give the music more edge. It's a trio with great potential. Hopefully the three of them will continue together and make an announcement soon."

"We loved having Rory at our wedding, his performance was excellent and really added an extra special something during the drinks receptions. He was also communicative in the lead up and accommodating to our requests, making us feel very comfortable prior to the day itself which was greatly appreciated."
