Review Centre: 1940s Era Musicians & Bands

"Let’s face it. Music soothes, heals, excites, entertains and inspires. Legendary Jazz Drummer and Bandleader, Art Blakey even said “(it) washes away the dust of everyday life.” I’ll go with that. That very moment when any artist starts to sing or play, is critical. We all want to be entertained, not just played to. And one more observation, if they look like they’re having fun - I am too. The Jazz Kings performed to a sell-out audience at the Brisbane Jazz Club: they brought their musical goods right through the front door and into our hearts and souls. The key difference is in the delivery. It’s called engagement, the sparkle in their eyes as they share their love of Jazz with everyone in the room. The Jazz Kings' repertoire is wide, impressive and constantly updated. It includes a couple of original pieces, but you can’t quite tell as they are very cleverly cloaked with the fabric of that particular era. What makes their evening different is their cheerful unpredictability. Not every song has each person doing an instrumental. (Which often can be tedious.) Two tunes might even be performed one after another without a formal introduction. Look out for some gentle fun inclusion with the audience – that’s the chance to sing along. It’s an old-fashioned but proven concept that has you laughing – and wondering where the night went. All-in-all, a thoroughly entertaining night. I’d go again. And again!"

"I was really blown away by this performance! Every cover was so real and full of emotion. You could feel the passion in every note and in every phrase, making classics sound brand new. Piano accompaniment was faultless, adding depth and that je ne sais quoi to make this experience truly elevate. So rarely do you find that someone stays true to the original song and puts such a beautiful spin on it. Bravo "

" Noa and her band provided the perfect mix of sophistication and fun for my daughter's 21st birthday party. We had a 1920s theme and Noa's velvet voice transported us back in time as we danced to the Charleston and swayed to the love songs. I can wholeheartedly recommend Noa and her sharp professional band to make any party pop!"
