"We couldn’t have asked for a better band to play at our wedding than Esotika Band! From the very first moment we contacted them, they were incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and open to all of our song requests. They really listened to what we wanted for our big day and made it happen perfectly. On the day of the wedding, they exceeded all our expectations. The music was absolutely fantastic—every song was beautifully performed, and the energy they brought to the event was contagious! Our guests were dancing non-stop, and so many of them commented on how amazing the band was. What really stood out to us was how they adapted to the mood of the evening, shifting from romantic ballads during the ceremony to high-energy hits at the reception. Their performance made the entire celebration even more memorable. If you’re looking for a professional, talented band with a huge range of music styles and amazing live performances, Esotika Band is the way to go. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding without them!"

"The Blue Moon Jazz Quartet provided a wonderful soundtrack to our wedding celebration in Tuscany. Raphael was very helpful in the preparation for the event: describing how the band would set up, where and when they would move for each aspect of the celebration, and helping us in the choice of music too. On the day, they were really flexible in accommodating exactly what we wanted and kept playing for longer than planned as everyone was having such a good time. The singer really pulled out the stops and they were a great success, creating just the atmosphere we wanted. We would certainly recommend Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz Trio/Quartet for your event!

"The RnB Singer was performing at our wedding. When all your guests ask for his phone number you know he delivered a great performance. He really knows how to set spark to a party and his voice and presentation are unbelievable. Also a great personality and very responsive to messages and requests, when we were planning. The best recommendations. Maryna and Jonas."

"It’s quite possible to stroll right past the place while navigating West Kinzie Street, just a wee bit north of the Chicago River, and not even realize it. The only concrete clue that you’ve arrived at your destination is the sight of a black canvas entrance emblazoned with the curious moniker of the joint. It’s called Untitled, and that handle is purposely nondescript, only adding to the overall mystique of the nightspot. Head down a short flight of stairs, say hello to the doorman (there’s no cover), and you’ll find that Untitled offers a welcoming hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the Loop, which sits only a few blocks south on the other side of the river. During the Prohibition era, speakeasies dotted the Windy City landscape where those so inclined could quaff an alcoholic libation or two while securely hidden away from the long arm of the law. But those long-ago speaks were never this spacious or glamorously appointed. Make no mistake: this is a classy operation all the way, so you won’t spy any tennis shoes or sweatsuits sullying the polished dance floor. When the Rhythm Rockets take the stage at Untitled, as they’ve been doing on the second Wednesday evening of every month for a while now starting at 7:30 p.m. and going strong for three hours, the joint proceeds to jump to a barrage of eminently danceable rhythms. The music meshes perfectly with the delicious food and cool drinks that can be ordered by summoning your lovely waitress. You can dine on such delicacies as steak tartare, sea scallops, and mushroom tortellini, and top your feast off with a scrumptious slice of whoopee pie, a blend of dark chocolate-espresso cake, peanut butter mousse, and powdered sugar. There was a fair amount of dancing happening during the Rhythm Rockets’ most recent Untitled engagement, but most of the sizable crowd was content to soak in the swinging soiree at their tables or from their barstools. The sound quality was exceptionally crisp and full-bodied all night long; Dave Downer’s concise guitar licks sliced through the air with authority, and Nicole Kestler’s delightful vocals were mixed at precisely the right level for maximum enjoyment as she sailed through longtime Rhythm Rockets favorites that included Little Esther’s “Oo Papa Do,” the relaxed pre-war blues lament “Trouble In Mind,” and the band’s scorching arrangement of Ruth Brown’s “(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean” that they often use as a set closer. The sizzling sax section (tenors Michael Bielecki and Vince Salerno and baritone Justin Kierans) was tight and right throughout the evening, and the rock-solid combination of bassist Lou Marini and drummer Mark Fornek kept the grooves hitting on all cylinders. Mark usually sings a song or two on each set prior to Nicole’s entrance, and now he’s previewing a few Chicago blues numbers that he’s also singing with Dave’s new side band, the Five Alibis. Vince switched over to harmonica to give Little Walter’s ominous “I Don’t Play” an authentic Chicago blues sound, although the horns returned when Mark launched into Junior Wells’ playful shuffle “The Things I’d Do For You.” If you’re anywhere near River North on the second Wednesday of this or any month in the near future, take a walk down Kinzie and seek out Untitled, even if you have to look hard for it. It’s altogether worth the effort--and a great place to check out the Rhythm Rockets doing what they do best! "

"My wedding guests were wowed, and my husband and I were overjoyed with NLT! Their sound was amazing, professionalism was impeccable, and their look was polished. They arrived extra early to setup and make sure everything was right. I could not have asked for a better experience, they went above and beyond. I not only give them my highest recommendation but also would book them again for my next events."

"I am delighted to recommend the Blue Moon Jazz Band – I booked my wedding from the UK and I don’t speak Italian – but Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz Band couldn't have been more helpful. We had to change arrangements due to the pandemic and again they were brilliant. On the day they sorted everything -playing our music for the ceremony exactly as asked, the band were brilliant – so many guests commented on the style and quality of their playing and the singer had a beautiful voice, they also then provided the disco for later – all the music was seemlessly handled and exactly as we wanted. My only regret was that I didnt spend enough time dancing to them as I was off doing photos etc! would highly recommend – so helpful, excellent music and good value. Karen and Pete"
