"Framing is the right word, that is how it was experienced. Not insignificant, not dominant, just right. You were there, and it sounded perfect. You definitely contributed to the atmosphere. The booking process, our contact, the performance, it was all as desired."

"Harry has played for us on many occasions. From the very first note he literally captivates his audience and people gather to hear more. He encompassed a variety of musical styles and is just so talented and versatile. Harry has helped us with several fundraising events and we know that if he is playing the event will be successful. He is such a delight work with and we just love his enthusiasm and the joy his music brings to so many"

"I booked Darren for my mum’s 80th birthday party. Darren was extremely helpful and professional and the whole process of organising the song choice etc. was so easy. Darren has a lovely voice and his performance created a great atmosphere. Everyone was dancing and had a brilliant time. Thank you Darren for making this celebration so special for my mum.

"We booked Luigi for our wedding as saxophonist and DJ and were very happy with his work. He produced a very unique, Italian vibe during our venue. Additionally, he brought all the equipment such as lights, microphone and speaker that we could also use for the speech. And he brought with him a violinist. So, all in all a very good service and highly recommended! Grazie mille, Luigi!"

"Review of Trilby - The liner notes inform us that this ensemble started as a swinging dance band in 2005. Since then, they've evolved into a solid, well-arranged outfit with first rate solos played by intriguing, skilled jazz cats. The feeling I derived from the CD was similar to a classic Blue Note session. You know, several well-written originals that are melodically strong, and a few standards to test the players' chops on familiar material. The co-leaders play flugelhorn and trombone, respectively. Most of the arrangements come from pianist Bill Dobbins, who allows plenty of room for free-swinging solo work. The familiar vehicles here include Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle." I also spotted a tune called "Rich's Call" by Kerry Strayer, a baritone player of the highest stripe, and a skilled composer and arranger as well. It is interesting to note three compositions from jazz harmonica whiz, Hendrik Meurkens. Perhaps he has some connection to the band. Finally, it should be said that this session is directed straight down the middle of the bop highway. Simply an outstanding blowing session on songs that, amazingly enough, sound like songs!"

"The band were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. Perfect in every way, both for those who just wanted to sit and listen with a drink, and for those who wanted to dance and be silly (which was pretty much everyone, by the end). They were wonderful from start to finish! "

"Georg played at our wedding on Saturday 24th May 2025. Overall, he was excellent and everyone attended love the music! Booking via Gig Heaven was easy and Georg was easy to reach and to align on what music we wanted. On the day, we extended the session by a full 1.5 hours as everyone was having a great time! I would fully recommend Georg, he made our evening even more special with his excellent choice of music and quality of play. Thank you Georg!"

They made the party memorable, and they are nice people too ! It was fun to have them play, They made an otherwise ordinary party exceptional.... I look forward to having them back ! Anyone looking for a uniquely beautiful sound, perfect for a party or a wedding should hire them ! A++ - Chris Sent on 02/17/2021"
