Review Centre: Roaming Musicians

"Jörn und Adrian haben vom ersten Moment a die Stimmung auf unserer Hochzeit perfekt “gelesen” und spontan schon mal die Party nach dem Kaffeetrinken angeheizt. Wir haben bis spät in die Nacht getanzt und die Jungs haben einfach für eine unvergessliche Stimmung gesorgt. Danke, dass ihr so Gas gegeben habt! Zu den nächsten runden Geburtstagen seid ihr fest eingeplant😉"

"Jools composed and remotely recorded violin sections for 3 of my tracks: Just For a Day; Roman 7; Boneyard. The tracks have an American influence but would fall under the indie genre. Essentially, the remit for Jools was to 'bulk them out' with strings. Although I had not actually met Jools in person (and still haven't), he was extremely responsive when communicating via email and therefore didn't need to meet. Before agreeing, he encouraged me to listen to his back catalogue - I was impressed with the breadth and depth of genres that Jools had worked with and I was pleased to learn he had worked with a couple of acquaintances of mine- namely The Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra and Chris Tye. Listening to his work, I was impressed by his knack around texturising songs- in my experience, strings can sometimes feel isolated from the rest of the instrumentation and I am aware that some string players find this aspect of composition challenging. Throughout the process, Jools ensured he had a secure understanding around my expectations. This brought about discussion around dynamics, chord progression technique (tremolo, tied sections etc). Although he was happy to read from transcript, I felt that his take on composition would be much better than mine, so he kindly agreed to compose the parts himself. After recording the first version, he sent me recordings via YouTube- he even went to the trouble of including a running text commentary of his thoughts within the video itself. This meant that I could give better feedback and bounce off his ideas. I was especially amazed by the turnaround (3 days to complete the process) as I had not set any deadlines or ball-park timeframes. Jools' playing is technically perfect and he has an exceptional ear for harmony and dynamics. e.g. He knew not to play for the sake of playing, and when to build to crescendo. He was able to add a range of chords, hooks and new melodies to the song. In Boneyard, the melody in the instrumental chorus ended up becoming the dominant hook- this was totally unplanned. Much like his violin playing, the overall recording quality was very professional. If you are looking for an outstanding string player who is both technical and visionary, Jools would be my number one recommendation."

"We chose Ivan to accompany one of the most important days of our lives… We are glad we did and if we had to do it again we would choose Ivan again! We met with him, he listened to our thoughts, our desires and with his advice he made sure to help us achieve a result…. “like a fairy tale” as one guest said! We even asked him to play as we left the church and the truth is that it was worth it as all the guests went into party mode, which is what we wanted… In discussions with guests about the saxophone accompaniment to the food, we realized that this touch would add color and notes to this stage of the day.. Thank you very much for everything!! You were the best choice we could have made!!!"

"Working with Petro was smooth from the very beginning. Both communication and the agreement process were professional and pleasant. His saxophone playing adds a vibrant and elegant touch to any event, and he is highly versatile across many event types and musical genres…Whether you’re looking for something jazzy, more pop-oriented, or even a 60s–70s Motown vibe... He can quickly put together a setlist and accommodate your requests. I can confidently recommend him. "

"Michael was fantastic and very patient with us - it was a complicated arrangement due to lots of personal circumstances that almost made our event impossible but Michael kept in contact and helped to make it happen. He played a great set and created a wonderful event for our family. Would highly recommend and we hope to repeat the experience in the future."

"Cameron has always been a pleasure to work with. He is a very kind, understanding, and down to earth human being. Not only does he demonstrate exceptional musical and stylistic competence, but he can also be called upon to get wild and think outside of the box if that's what you need him to do. I would absolutely recommend him for live performance or studio work. "
