"Paris, Galerie 19 Paul Fort, June 29, 2023, around 8:45 p.m. The trio is on tour. He had already come to our country last year, for a short tour of 3 dates in the South-West, at the initiative of Philippe Levreaud. Here he is back. The day before he was in Seine-et-Marne at the Moulin de Benne, and the days after that it will be Angoulême, Bordeaux and Puy-du-Lac. But for now they are here, for us, in this Gallery which regularly hosts the rarest music. A rustle of cymbals, the stridencies of the soprano sax, and a keyboard motif which installs a pulse: an incipit which smells good of the magic of improvised music. Then the improvisation is organized around a vehement pulse: the percussionist is at the center of the game. Not like a ‘groove machine’ which would convey preconceived ideas: rather like the living heart of an organism in permanent mutation. The pianist is in a double dialogue: rhythmic with the percussions, melodic-harmonic with the saxophonist. It is lyrical, tense, and a host of micro-events take place that bring the speech to incandescence. End of the first sequence. After brief words of welcome and introduction (Jamie Harris contributes his French) we set off headlong, towards the alto sax, in a crazy, almost Caribbean spin. Then back to the soprano, for a sort of ballad that will increase in intensity, on motifs that carry a bit of Africa within them. And this continent is still present in the following theme, which is a tribute to the musicians from Ghana with whom Trevor Watts collaborated at the end of the previous century. Throughout the concert, the music breathes under other horizons: Hispanic, Latin American, Middle Eastern. With sometimes melancholy accents that often resolve themselves into intense pulsations, towards a lyricism that is as torn as it is heartbreaking. In short, a bouquet of strong emotions and subtle sensations: music, in short. Audience conquered, columnist in heaven, ready to face the galley of the year to return from Porte d’Orléans to Bondy: due to ‘security measures’, no metro or bus; no RER ‘E’ but walking to Denfert Rochereau for the RER B to Gare du Nord, then line 5 to Bobigny, and 4 km of walking to reach my home. 2H45 to cover 18 short kilometres (where it usually takes about fifty minutes by public transport, from door to door). But the concert was really worth it! Xavier Prévost"

"I always like sharing new discoveries with everyone especially when they work for any of our destinations. Specifically, Chris Arpad, a one-man steel drummer is incredible for just about any event. But his talents are not just limited to the steel drum rather a plethora of music genres. We have used Chris now for several events and has been a great hit each time and works well especially when a client wants a large band with a small budget."

" The band was just amazing! A singer and two musicians made my 50th birthday party unforgettable. Their music and dancing was so authentic, and they even sang happy birthday in Spanish. If you want a great party this is the band to hire. 5 stars!"

"Zaz is just incredible!!! Our guests were blown away by her talent. Her voice is just so good. And whilst we had lots of things to worry about on our Wedding day, Zaz was not one of them. She is such a nice person, super flexible and easy to work with to get the set we wanted just right. And on the big day she looked fantastic, and SHE worked the crowd, the lights, and music with ease, getting everyone up dancing and making sure the night reached a memorable crescendo - Would hire her again, a 100 times over!"

"We had a very intimate wedding with specific sound restrictions and no big dance party, so the background music had to be perfect. Arthur was incredibly respectful of our vision. He managed the audio for our ceremony with absolute precision (including custom tracks for the bridal entrance) and curated the most beautiful, romantic background music for our dinner. He proved that even without a wild dancefloor, a great DJ is essential for setting the perfect mood"

"Our Senior Home residents cannot stop talking and reminiscing about the fun they had with this steelpan player! His singing, playing and choices of songs brought back precious memories for them and their families. He is a very skilled player and was very interactive with everyone especially when we made a conga-line in our recreation area. We are looking forward to having him play for several of our upcoming events this year. A great addition to any celebration for sure, a must repeat entertainer for sure :-)"

"We hired Sebastian for a recording session. Sebastian was very professional, communicating with us regularly before recording day in order to coordinate the session, arriving on time and going straight to work when he arrived. He is a human metronome and we were very pleased with his drumming. An added plus, is that he's a real nice guy as well."

"We hired Jenny for a Selena Quintanilla tribute and she was even better than what I wanted. She sang all her songs and even wore the outfit. Her voice is amazing."

"Super expérience avec Arthur et l’équipe Impulse Event Paris. Très réactifs, pros et disponibles du début à la fin. Le matériel était de qualité, l’organisation fluide et toute la partie installation/réglages a été gérée sérieusement, ce qui est hyper rassurant sur un événement corporate. Une équipe passionnée avec une vraie bonne énergie humaine en plus. Je recommande sans hésiter 👌"

"Chris was the best! He is so fun and plays exactly what he advertises, Bob Marley, Sublime, Hawaiian, and he even learned our wedding song for our event! Amazing man, and totally professional too. "
