Review Centre: 1930s Era Musicians & Bands

"Good afternoon, I was just wanted to drop you an email to tell what a pleasure it was to have you and the band here on Friday, I’ve had nothing but positive feedback from the team and the guests, from much a step in right direction in regards to music and theme nights at the Dukes. You guys were wonderful :) Thank you again and we look forward to having you back again in December. All the best Johnny xx "

"Stellar, professional, & swingin!!! We booked this trio for one of our larger institutional events that we host twice a semester. They were phenomenal! I cannot sing their praises enough. They added just enough ambience, swing, and mood to the dinner setting for our guests. We will definitely be booking the Simon Burke Trio again and again!"

"An excellent choice For a grand dinner with a “Great Gatsby” theme, we were looking for fitting musical accompaniment—and we found it with Jazz Centrale. After clear consultation and advice, we decided to book singer Mylene and five musicians. An excellent choice! Mylene and the band have an inexhaustible repertoire, perfectly sense the atmosphere and timing, and can do it all. From background music to creating a full-blown party—in this case, a “Great Gatsby party”—they can handle it. Mylene and the accompanying musicians are all top-notch professionals who adapt quickly to the moment. For the hosts, it was a delight, as they take care of everything themselves. For the guests, it was a superb, cozy, and extraordinary musical experience. Jazz Centrale can do even more—anything is possible. We’re already looking forward to the next celebration!"

"Having Wajdi C. perform at our private event was such a wonderful experience. From our first messages to the last song of the evening, he was professional, kind, and easy to work with. His piano playing was elegant, expressive, and created exactly the mood we were hoping for. We were thoroughly impressed with his extensive set list and will definitely invite him back for future gatherings. I highly recommend him."

"“Wonderful music that everyone can hear without being disturbed. We got in touch with Jazz Centrale and, after consultation and clear explanations, chose a jazz trio. The performance was punctual and exactly as agreed. Given the composition of our guests, this trio was the perfect choice, and we received many compliments. A breath of fresh air after attending many receptions where the music was a disruptive factor (hard to converse, unsuitable repertoire, etc.).”"

"An atmospheric and Christmassy decorated theatre café forms the setting for this year's Yes Jazz Christmas Matinée. It is pleasantly busy. Many music lovers choose the warmth of the Yes Jazz theatre café of De Hofnar on this cold Sunday afternoon. Gipsy jazz is popular and Christmas music always goes down well. When these two come together, you can of course count on a special afternoon. And that is what it will be. The music is beautiful. A beautiful singer and three excellent musicians ensure a beautiful Christmas Matinée. This quartet clearly shows that many different types of music can be cast in the mould of the gipsy style. Django Reinhardt resonates in everything. The tight foundation is audible in Ronald Weel's rhythm guitar and on Daniël Gueli's double bass. You can build on this. The solo guitar and the singer provide the leading parts. Marcia Bamberg stands out because of her clear voice: crystal clear and velvety soft where necessary. The improvisations of the solo guitarist, John Lighart, are smooth and inventive. Sometimes very virtuoso. The repertoire is especially very versatile. From French chansons to well-known jazz standards. Of course, the big Christmas hits are not missing. Night and Day, After you’ve gone, but also Belle Histoire and La vie en rose come in beautiful arrangements from the Yes Jazz stage. Christmas has started well! "

"I came to watch Hitchen Big Band at Pertuis Jazz Festival in 2017, while I was on holiday in France. Wow, what a great band! David has several groups, including small jazz bands also. Brilliant."

"Just perfect We wanted to thank you for your wonderful musical contribution last Saturday. My brother was very pleasantly surprised, especially since he is a pianist himself. The music was just right in terms of style and volume. "
