"Wow! What a night we had! What a great party. What an amazing performance from the King. You guys were fantastic at my 40th on January 4. Such a great show created such a great atmosphere. People are still telling us what an awesome party we had, and you guys are a big reason why. It was an honour to have you play at our house. We will always recommend you to anyone we know."

"Review of Trilby - The liner notes inform us that this ensemble started as a swinging dance band in 2005. Since then, they've evolved into a solid, well-arranged outfit with first rate solos played by intriguing, skilled jazz cats. The feeling I derived from the CD was similar to a classic Blue Note session. You know, several well-written originals that are melodically strong, and a few standards to test the players' chops on familiar material. The co-leaders play flugelhorn and trombone, respectively. Most of the arrangements come from pianist Bill Dobbins, who allows plenty of room for free-swinging solo work. The familiar vehicles here include Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle." I also spotted a tune called "Rich's Call" by Kerry Strayer, a baritone player of the highest stripe, and a skilled composer and arranger as well. It is interesting to note three compositions from jazz harmonica whiz, Hendrik Meurkens. Perhaps he has some connection to the band. Finally, it should be said that this session is directed straight down the middle of the bop highway. Simply an outstanding blowing session on songs that, amazingly enough, sound like songs!"

"The brass monkees were hands down the highlight of our wedding, apart from the getting married bit of course! They surpassed all our expectations and their 3 set performance was just incredible. An amazing bunch of very talented people. Our guests absolutely loved them too and did not leave the dance floor! Highly recommend! "

"We had booked Oliver and Tommy to play at our wedding, to help fill the time after the ceremony and to entertain our guests. Our day was planned to be a relaxed, chilled day and Corduroy Moustache certainly helped to create exactly that for us. Music was wonderful, exactly what we had asked for and we’ve had plenty of comments from guests saying just how fab they thought the music was. We couldn’t have asked for anything better to compliment our day. Would definitely highly recommend! "

"We had a great evening with Lorraine & The Flames at The Pheasantry. A really interesting and varied selection of classics and some lesser-known songs, all performed beautifully by Lorraine and her band. The quality of Lorraine's voice alongside a clearly very accomplished band displaying great timing, rhythm, and hats-offs, made for a fabulous evening. Looking forward to future gigs!"

"Pía es un auténtico ciclón sobre el escenario. Aparte de su excelencia vocal e instrumental de los músicos que le acompañan, así como lo acertado del repertorio, tiene la capacidad de conectar con el público desde el mismo comienzo de su actuación, y provocar las más variadas emociones. Una presencia poderosa, una tremenda capacidad como actriz y su gran profesionalidad hacen que contar con ella sea un acierto seguro en tu evento, en cualquiera de los formatos que ofrece."

"A precise and discreet person, he accompanied our evening with friends by playing jazz guitar, including manouche style, in a varied yet impeccable way—never overly virtuosic, never banal. The melodies did not take the center stage, providing the perfect background, just as we had requested. A wonderful evening. Thank you, Romeo!"
