"LillyPalooza was a huge success! My 50th birthday party was a tremendous success, thanks to these legends of rock with The World Tour Band. They exceeded our expectations, and everyone—including me—agreed it was the best party ever. I'm grateful for their kindness and for how smoothly everything was arranged in advance. Jeri, their manager, was outstanding. I can't wait for our next upscale house party so we can hire them again. I had an amazing time and later that evening, I cried tears of joy because it truly was the perfect 50th birthday celebration anyone could imagine.

We went to a restaurant just off Sixth Avenue and wound up talking from 2:30 pm until 8:00 pm. All those hours we talked about the saxophone, about music, and how this must-cian from Seattle was faring in the Apple.

It's at once bold and incisive, spirited and alarming. Booker 1. is daring enough to bring together in his own compositions things that are usually kept separate - jazz and religious music. It makes for a spritely, fun sound. The listener will be moved by the intensity, range and absolute beauty of the entire delivery. But caution: do not trust the titles, expect a surprise.. As music brings the warmth and light of beauty into our lives, this recording will warm our hearts and spirits. Through this light, perhaps we will see a little more of ourselves. Possibly, we will come to understand a bit more of each other. Either way, it is a wonderful gift. Booker 1. is a colossal talent! Gregg Gordon "

"Groove Collider provided a great evening of music at a recent NYE party. Awesome variety of songs and a cracking long set that kept everyone dancing, (I thought it was their last song of the night... 3 times!) Can't wait to hear them again."

"We have enjoyed many many of Mark's performances on P&O cruises over the last few years, including his Dire Straits tribute. He is an absolutely superb guitarist and we could watch him forever. Hopefully we will have the chance to see him again very soon."

"The Weddingers played for our wedding in September 2021 and they were absolutely spectacular. They have an excellent and deep list of songs they performed live for us and we received MANY compliments on the performance as well as the playlist. A quote from a guest: "Man, they can play! Where did you find them!?" We were so happy and wished the party would not end. We highly recommend them for your reception or any other party you are having. THANK YOU TO DAVIDE AND THE WEDDINGERS!!! 😁🎶🎵"
