Review Centre: 1990s Era Musicians & Bands

"Die Musik ist einfach super, authentisch und professionell! Jacopo hat das Gartenfest zum 70. Geburtstag unserer Eltern vier Stunden lang musikalisch begleitet: Gitarrenspiel & Gesang vom Feinsten! Die Gäste waren begeistert! Auch die Abstimmung mit Jacopo im Voraus war genial. Auf unsere Liedwünsche wurde eingegangen und Jacopo war sehr flexibel was das Setting angeht. Weiter so & gerne wieder! 💪🎶"

Elias! It was a honor to be invited and play to such an important family occasion. I believe you, your brother & your family made a sehr sehr incredible work to make your immense garden even more beautiful than it already is. Not by chance, great people came to celebrate and to listen. You anticipated perfectly all I could ever needed to set up easy and fast. So you provided the best ever conditions for me to try my best. Even the weather helped. And I can only say it was worth the drive from/to. All the very very best you all!

"Thanks for your set at our local community festival over the weekend. It was very well received and it was lovely to see lots of people singing along to all the classics you played. Hopefully you'll be available for us to have on the bill again next year."

"Talented Musician & Great Entertainer I have hired Gary Prisby to play at multiple events ranging from holiday parties to scholarship award ceremonies and charity fundraising events. He is truly a very talented musician that always leaves the guests incredibly happy. He is one of the few that I have hired for multiple events because of the feedback I always receive from the guests. He’s done a great job at adapting to the crowd and the event. I will continue using him for personal and work events."

"WOW what a party you gave us at our wedding! Thank you so much you were absolutely fantastic! Forgive us for not messaging you sooner but we have had a few Wifi free days away in sunny Pembrokeshire. The first dance was brilliant, thank you so much, it was perfect. We have had lots of our guests raving about you as well! I know you did a few extra songs at the end, for the drunk lot. That was much appreciated!! All the very best to Candy & the Sound - we hope we get the pleasure of hearing you play live again one day :) Love Zara & Martin X"

"I was blown away by the pure magic that came his saxophone 🎷. To be brutally honest I have never been a fan of the saxophone in the past but what I heard and more importantly FELT from him and his saxophone just amazed me. I I would highly recommend this genius on the saxophone."

"Dear Anne, Thank you, once again, for organising a lovely group of players for me. Everyone was so nice to work with. Considering the amount of notes that we had to play last night - it was a fantastic job. The audience had a really good evening and there were many excellent comments. Thank you, for leading in your usual friendly and professional way. It's always a privilege to work with you. Please pass on my thanks to the players - I am looking forward to the B minor Mass after Christmas! All the best. Peter"

"All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins. In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time). Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension. Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo. Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn. "

"Absolutely cannot recommend W!RED enough! The loveliest people with INCREDIBLE talent. All our guest at the wedding couldn’t believe how good the band was. Even the Venue requested for their names so they can hire them again. Thank you for making our day wonderful xx"

"These guys are the real deal! Their high-octane classic rock show turned our regular pub night into a full-blown concert. The crowd went wild for their ‘Baba O’Riley’ cover, and the band’s energy kept the vibe electric all night. Found them on GigHeaven—quick response, great value, and pure rock ‘n’ roll!"
