"Performance with very well played music, top musicians with a different structure and approach to music, the genres played with a very unique approach that differentiate from the regular party bands. Public felt involved to listen good and well played music."

"We chose the Dona Ofélia group to entertain at our civil wedding and reception. They were incredible: after just one meeting, they understood exactly what we wanted and even adapted one of the songs to work for our entrance into the ceremony, just as we had imagined. More than just friendliness and professionalism, Dona Ofélia brought a special vibe to our day that more than met our expectations. Thank you so, so much!"

"We had the pleasure last Friday evening of having the band play for my daughter-in-law's surprise birthday party! The band was truly amazing, very high energy and great vocals! They were so friendly they were like having additional guests. I danced every song with and without a partner LOL!!!! Great band, I would highly recommend for any occasion! "

"Guty and Simone were incredibly flexible with our needs, even taking the time to learn a song for us (our first dance). Their performance was so impressive that one guest even remarked it sounded like a recording. They offered a fantastic mix of music that kept the dance floor lively all night long. We have no complaints — this is easily the best wedding band we've encountered. We’re thrilled that we selected them. Their communication before the wedding was outstanding, with prompt responses to all our questions. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Blue Moon Jazz Trio played at our wedding in Umbria and were absolutely incredible. They played throughout the aperitivo and the entire meal, creating the most amazing atmosphere, and our guests have had nothing but brilliant things to say about them. It was exactly what we wanted and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Grazie mille!"

"Customer Reviews​Review received on 6/21/2024 Wrecking Crew Express was a huge hit at our Senior Prom event. Our residents ages 70+ could not stay in their chairs and wanted to keep dancing. They are talking about it! We're excited to invite them back at our next event. The band was absolutely awesome! Reviewer: Shaleen McCart Event Date: June 20th, 2024 Services Provided: 1960s"

"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. To the best of my knowledge, Booker T's only other recording has been as a sideman on Cold Sweat, a recent album of James Brown tunes (also featuring Craig Harris and David Murray) that illustrates the sloppiness jazz musicians are capable of when trying to show they can be Regular Guys. But Go Tell It on the Mountain is stunning enough to make me a believer in Booker T's potential. "

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for your performance on Saturday night. We had an amazing day and you guys and your DJ just topped it off perfectly. I think you could probably see that you smashed it and the dance floor was literally bouncing all night LOL! All our guests said that they had the best evening and you were by far the best band we have all ever heard at a wedding. One of the guests has already referred you to their son who is also getting married at Nanteos Mansions later in the year. We are so pleased with the day so thank you so much and hope you enjoyed playing as well!"

"These beautiful people delivered beyond our expectations. The event was big Company party and the communications before the event were great. The while process of booking through to arrival was perfect. The band arrived immaculately turned out, on time and without any fuss despite the distance and the prevailing fuel shortage problems. The music was well chosen and delivered and everything went perfectly. True professionals, thank you! Jules"
