"If you walked into The Pocket blindfolded last week you might have thought Tom Jones had dropped by to front this power trio. But there's no mistaking why they call Stephen Bailey 'The Wailer', as he fills the room with deep guttural blues you could be back in 50's Mississippi. With a rhythm section tighter than a bungee jumper's harness and keyboard skills that could give Jools Holland a run for his money, these guys mean business!

"Choosing this organist was one of the best decisions we made for our event. His talent is undeniable, and his ability to create atmosphere through music is remarkable. Each piece was performed with elegance and precision. The combination of organ, soprano, and violin created a truly unique and sophisticated sound. He was punctual, reliable, and extremely easy to work with. Everything went perfectly. We would highly recommend his services to anyone in Monaco and surrounding areas."

"We are so excited about Stan's talent that we are literally writing this review on our honeymoon. We asked Stan to play during a drinks reception for our wedding at Luttrellstown Castle. Stan was nothing but professional during the planning process - he touched base frequently to make sure we were confident the day would go smoothly and was flexible with meetings as we were planning from overseas. When I asked Stan to change the timing for our event, he had no problem doing so. Stan has an enormous repertoire of music that he offered us to choose from; we selected some songs from his list, but also asked him to play some that were meaningful to us that he did not know. He did so with no problem at all - from classical to pop, Stan's talent covered everything we wanted to hear and more. As an amateur piano player myself, I was stunned at Stan's talent and ability to play songs that would be quite difficult for myself perfectly and with such ease. Many of our guests were in a different area of the castle, but I insisted on staying near the piano to hear the music! We coordinated an entrance to Claire de Lune and Stan worked with our coordinators to time everything properly, as well. After the event, Stan even reached out to give us some recommendations for our honeymoon in Ireland, catering them to some of the things we had already discussed with him. A true professional and AMAZING pianist - if you are considering hiring someone, don't hesitate a second longer. Even if you aren't considering hiring a pianist, you will be more than pleased if you change your mind and hire Stan to play your event. Thanks a million for making this so memorable, Stan. We appreciate it!"

"I hired Jahangir to perform at my garden party and was instantly impressed. Being a perfectionist, I have very high expectations yet Jahangir managed to not only meet them but also exceed them. Everything was perfect! His professionalism and kind nature made him a joy to work with and put all my concerns to ease. Jahangir has a particular magic about him when he plays that mesmerises those listening, enriching the whole experience. All our guest were raving about the event, particularly his perfomance. If you're looking for a musician  who can add a special element to your party, I would strongly recommend Jahangir"

"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."

"Thomas spillede en fantastisk version af "Imorgen er der også en dag". Den sang siger så meget om os og hvad vi har oplevet sammen ❤️. Thomas sang den med hjertet, og det var en fantastisk oplevelse, som vi for altid vil mindes med glæde"

"Liliana is a great musician! I've seen her performances multiple times and each time she was able to create an amazing atmosphere. She's highly skilled professional that can play in any music style and adjust to any circumstances. During the most recent event the host had invited another artist, who was singing and playing guitar. In the middle of his performance Liliana joined him and continued to play his program. They've met for the first time, but sounded like a duo that worked together for a long time. That shown her unlimited skills to improvise. It's always a great pleasure to listen to Liliana's play. "
