"Initially, we saw Joie de Vivre, in Winchester and thought how wonderful they would be performing at our wedding. We were not disappointed. Their repertoire of old French classic amourettes were beautifully delivered and extremely varied from Piaf to Brel . All our guests enjoyed listening and singing along as we danced early in the evening before dinner "

"Nathaniel’s performance was a masterclass in musical storytelling. His emotive phrasing and improvisational depth on both guitar and keyboard captivated the audience from the first note. Blending Afro-jazz with traditional and contemporary influences, he created a sonic journey that was both rooted and exploratory. His leadership of the ensemble was seamless—each musician was given space to shine, yet the collective sound remained cohesive and intentional. Beyond the music, Nathaniel’s presence radiated humility and warmth. His ability to connect with the audience, uplift fellow artists, and curate an immersive experience speaks to his rare combination of artistry and emotional intelligence. A true visionary, he continues to redefine what it means to be a jazz artist in South Africa and beyond."

"Hana Dolgin and her talented trio delivered an unforgettable jazz performance at our office last week, captivating us for over three hours with their incredible artistry. From the moment they began, Hana’s soulful energy and masterful command of the music set the tone for an afternoon filled with pure delight. Her smooth, expressive saxophone playing paired beautifully with the rich, dynamic accompaniment of her two bandmates, creating a perfect balance of rhythm and melody that kept us all entranced. What stood out most was Hana’s ability to connect with the audience—she brought a warmth and vibrancy that turned our usual workspace into a cozy jazz lounge. The trio’s chemistry was undeniable, with each musician shining in their solos while seamlessly supporting one another. They played a mix of classic standards and original pieces, showcasing their versatility and creativity. Hana’s improvisational flair was particularly impressive, adding a fresh, spontaneous edge to every song. Beyond her musical talent, Hana was a consummate professional—gracious, engaging, and perfectly attuned to the vibe of the room. The performance was the highlight of our week, leaving everyone buzzing with appreciation. If you’re looking for a jazz experience that’s both polished and heartfelt, Hana Dolgin and her crew are an absolute must-see!"

"[With regard to your new album, Conflict of Love":] For you to make such a fresh sounding work with such a minimal instrumentation - you are a very very talented songwriter and arranger and your vocal approach is both comforting and risky."
