"Kristina was FANTASTIC! She plays all the music we loved and created a super ambiance on our reception at the wedding party in Spain (Moraira). I can strongly recommend her! We would organise another party just to hear her play again! "

"A fantastic professional performance. I must say that you now are the Number One swing band in my estimation. By far the best sets I have had the privilege of enjoying. I highly recommend you and your swing band to everyone. It made the wedding day perfect. Thank you."

"Julie and her team were great! They were all very professional and sounded amazing. Our videographer seemed to have missed the audio recording of the big moment when I entered the ceremony and walked down the aisle. Julie and her team have graciously offered to re record this specialized music so I have it forever!"

"Brian and his band were exactly what we needed to make our parent's birthday bash a success. Best thing about it was they had a tight, skillful sound while still playing the kind of music that got people dancing. We were a party filled with professional musicians and everyone commented on the band. Thanks guys!"

"I didn’t get a chance to thank you properly last night for coming to play at my party, but I wanted to write and say how much I enjoyed having you perform for the evening. Lots of friends said to me how much they enjoyed your jazz, and my jazz-pianist friend was hugely impressed with the style and quality of your playing. It was great to meet you, and I wish you all the best for your trio. You deserve it."

"We had the pleasure of experiencing Duo Varyo at a private event, and it was truly magical. Their music set the tone throughout the evening and created a wonderful atmosphere. What impressed us most, in addition to their exceptional musical talent, was their generosity, flexibility, and professional approach. The collaboration was seamless and enjoyable, and they delivered far beyond our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend them!"

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was a pleasure to play at your event. You gave us all the support and the info we needed, and your communication has been perfectly clear, useful and respectful of our work. We hope to collaborate again with you in the future!

"We had our wedding in Greece last year, and I dare say hiring Ms Sakellari was certainly one of the best decisions we made. Eva is nothing short of amazing in every aspect of her work, even down to the smallest detail. Kind and proactive, very easy to work with, both her and her band are willing to go the extra mile in order to provide the best sevice possible, including on-the-spot demands from the guests (by the way, their own version of John Legend's 'All of Me' is fantastic, made even my father-in-law cry ;) ). Amazing performance, extremely talented musicians, enjoyable playlist to cater for every taste out there, this lady is the real deal. Thoroughly recommended :)"

"My rating is based on the amazing interaction and service provided by S&R Music. I dealt with Clyde Visagie who from the first interaction was professional, upfront and very accommodating. My request was late, we had some limitations to deal with but Clyde and his band members were professional and accommodating and the evening was a great success. Compliments all round and my colleagues were very appreciative of the offering by S&R music. Thank you Clyde and the rest of the team."

"Juneteenth with PBSO was powerful and unforgettable.I attended the Juneteenth celebration and PBSO’s set was the highlight of the day. Their performance was more than entertainment; it was a celebration of culture, freedom, and excellence. They brought so much heart and soul to the stage, honoring Black history through every song. The crowd was engaged, the music was rich, and the atmosphere was electric. I felt proud, seen, and inspired. "

"Here's more clear evidence courtesy of Italian-born saxophonist Mirko Fait's quintet that tasteful jazz doesn't run its course at America's borders. These are accomplished musicians who know how to swing and can hold their heads high in any company, foreign or domestic. On the other hand, there is nothing here that sets Fait's group apart from many others of its size and makeup; it is simply a well-schooled working ensemble doing its thing, no more and no less. Fait, who plays soprano and tenor sax, is joined on the front line by flugel Roberto Piermartire, who, like Fait, is an accomplished musician whose solos are invariably polished if not otherwise exceptional. Pianist Antonio Zambrini is another strong soloist, while bassist Rodrigo Amaral amplifies the group's persona by adding his husky baritone on four selections. The quintet's other member, drummer Roby Giannella, is a solid timekeeper who tends to his duties without stepping on anyone's toes. Guitarist Giampiero Spina adds a pastel solo voice on "Sad Eyes Child," "B Mine" and "Funny Day." The program is composed primarily (eight of ten tracks) of compositions by Fait, and they are melodic and charming if less than memorable. Several are in a Latin mode including Amaral's vocals on "Quanno Chiove," "Rebecca Smile," "Nada Mais" and "Aquarela." While the quintet is pictured on the inside jacket performing at the Sant' Elpidio Jazz Festival, Confidences was recorded in a studio, most likely at Fait's home base, Milan. Other particulars are elusive, as the liner notes are in Italian. What is most germane, of course, is whether Fait's quintet is proficient and worth hearing, and the answer to that is yes. The songs, all originals, are for the most part bright and charming, and the quintet plays them well. Although there is nothing here that blazons superiority, neither is there anything that is less than well-managed. Track Listing: Lastlove; Sad Eyes’ Child; Quanno Chiove; Never Alone Melita; Rebecca Smile; All I Missed; B Mine; Nada Mais; Funny Day; Aquarela. Personnel: Mirko Fait: soprano, tenor saxophone; Roberto Piermartire: flugelhorn; Antonio Zambrini: piano; Giampiero Spina: guitar (2, 7, 9); Rodrigo Amaral: electric bass, voice; Roby Giannella: drums. Title: Confidences | Year Released: 2017 | Record Label: Jazz Di Marca"
