"Music&Soul was absolutely amazing! Fatmira’s violin added elegance to our ceremony, while Sarah’s stunning voice, Mirko’s piano skills, Mauro’s soulful sax, and Andrea’s lively percussion created the perfect atmosphere for our reception. We danced, sang, and had the best time! Mirko’s DJ set with Mauro on sax was the perfect finale. Their talent, energy, and professionalism made our wedding truly special. If you want a band that will make your big day unforgettable, Music&Soul is the one! "

"10/10 - Exceptional service, beautiful music, and wonderful people. Les Trois Cordes helped make my surprise proposal a truly magical moment. They were extremely accommodating, and full of advice when it came to planning the moment. They battled travel, the outside elements, crowds of people, and much more to make this moment happen - all on Christmas Eve. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone and would definitely hire again! Thank you once more Les Trois Cordes for everything! "

"On a beautiful August night JSJBF member band The Gumbo Gum bas, a project that grew out of leader Joe Grillo and his late brother Alfie's love of all things New Orleans, played to an appreciative crowd at Bands on the Beach. This was the second of two shows held on the beach for this summer-long Sunday night concert series, sponsored by the City of Long Branch in association with the JSJBFT. his show gave the band a chance to play live much of the material that can be found on their new CD, "Zydeland," with our own Jill Baskind donning the rub board for a couple of tunes. For those of you who may not get the reference in the title, Zydeco is a southern Louisiana dance music featuring the accordion, rub board and in this case horns. The music on the CD was dedicated to Alfie, who passed during the pandemic, and their mixing engineer, Tim Gilles, who left us during the making of the CD. All of the band members who appeared on the beach are on the record, including Dave Anthony on drums, Vinnie Borselli on trumpet, Joe on tenor sax and vocals, Steve Munter on baritone sax and clarinet, Greg Novick on bass, Steve "Big Squeezy" Rice on accordion and piano and Lars Wendt on trombone. All tunes were written, arranged and produced by Joe except as noted below. The opening title track "Zydeland," begins with the measured beat of the drums and is joined quickly by the accordion, with the horns kicking in as the lyrics invite you to join the band on a journey to this magical, musical place. As with any good Gumbo, it's flavored with local ingredients, in this case a dose of the Jersey Shore sound spices up the mix. "Dance With Me" picks up the beat and is reminiscent in tempo and style to one of Joe's major influences, Louis Prima. If this tune doesn't get you out of your seat, nothing will. "Waiting for the Cane," is dedicated to the crazies who choose not to evacuate, but start the party in anticipation of a hurricane, and party they will to this number. "King Cake" includes lyrics by Joe and music by Steve, was explained to the uninitiated that night as the legendary dessert of Mardi Gras which is said to bring luck and prosperity to whoever gets the plastic baby in their piece. It's a high energy number that gives each member of the horn section a chance to stretch out and strut their stuff, and they made it a highlight of that night and the CD. The recorded version of this song literally jumps out of the speakers. "Can't Go Back To New Orleans" is a moving tribute to Joe's brother, envisioning an ode to the city they both love through the sound of Tom Waits, one of Alfie's favorite artists. I got the chills listening to what starts out as a somber tune but ends in an upbeat fashion, finishing with Frank Rein's tuba. Joe and Vinnie collaborated on the lyrics to the tall tale of "Gumbo Parmesan," a song that's lyrics are as much of a fun dream its title implies. "By the Water'' has that infectious "Congo Square" beat, which is highlighted by Dave's opening drum pattern with accompanying percussion and conjures up a scene of the locals doing a NOLA style tap dance. With lyrics by Ken Morrison and music by Steve Rice, "Drifting Off and Dreaming of You" is a mid twentieth century style ballad, complete with strings, and has Joe in the role of a crooner which he does quite eloquently. A welcome respite from the nonstop party to this point, he sounds like the last man at the bar, smoke curling up from that final cigarette, with drink in hand, thinking about the woman of his dreams. The penultimate song, "Drinks On the House," is another fanciful flight of fantasy which would be loads of fun as an MTV video. Bring on the aliens, it's party time! The final tune, "Why Can't Everyday Be Mardi Gras?," is a fitting end to this party with Steph's clarinet leading the second line followed by the rest of the band with a chorus children along the route singing out the refrain. For this band, every time they start to play it's Mardi Gras. If these songs don't leave you smiling and dancing I don't know what will. Mission accomplished in the fun department as far as I'm concerned."

"We recently hired Barbara e Champagne to perform at my parents' 45th wedding anniversary celebration, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The event took place at a rented villa in Terracciola Toscana, and from the very start, the team showed a high level of professionalism and dedication. We had a small group of 12. They arrived an hour before the performance to set up and to ensure everything was perfectly aligned with our expectations. This attention to detail and their willingness to connect with us beforehand truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The music was simply beautiful. Carla's voice is stunningly natural and powerful, making the night truly unforgettable. Her performance, along with the talented musicians, brought a magical atmosphere to our celebration. It was evident that they love what they do, as their passion and enthusiasm shone through every note. Not only were they exceptional musicians, but they were also incredibly kind and friendly. Their warm and approachable demeanor added to the joy of the evening, making everyone feel welcomed and engaged. In summary, Barbara e Champagne exceeded all our expectations, creating a night filled with beautiful music and cherished memories. We highly recommend them for any special occasion."
