"Rory entertained at my 50th birthday in our large garden. He brought all his equipment and was ready to start straight away. He was a multi-instrumentalist, and I couldnt believe it when he got out both saxophone and flute. He played beautiful music with a professional, original backing track, I noted, and it was wonderful to have that live element. He also changed costumes half way through which we were quite surprised and amused at; I thought that this really added to the high standard of his professionalism and the variety of what he offered. He was very easy to talk to and I would definitely book him again. Even the neighbours next door asked if the music was live as it sounded so special and they wanted to come and listen."

"Dan was spot on. Two avenues for review. 1.) Professionalism. This guy was Johnny on the spot with being responsive and accurate about his services. He was on schedule and delivered. 2.) As a musician, Dan was an absolute treat. The consummate jazz guitarist he was everything this cocktail party needed. I look forward to booking him again Reviewer: Rickey Thomas Services Provided: Guitarist, Jazz Guitarist"

"Hana Dolgin and her talented trio delivered an unforgettable jazz performance at our office last week, captivating us for over three hours with their incredible artistry. From the moment they began, Hana’s soulful energy and masterful command of the music set the tone for an afternoon filled with pure delight. Her smooth, expressive saxophone playing paired beautifully with the rich, dynamic accompaniment of her two bandmates, creating a perfect balance of rhythm and melody that kept us all entranced. What stood out most was Hana’s ability to connect with the audience—she brought a warmth and vibrancy that turned our usual workspace into a cozy jazz lounge. The trio’s chemistry was undeniable, with each musician shining in their solos while seamlessly supporting one another. They played a mix of classic standards and original pieces, showcasing their versatility and creativity. Hana’s improvisational flair was particularly impressive, adding a fresh, spontaneous edge to every song. Beyond her musical talent, Hana was a consummate professional—gracious, engaging, and perfectly attuned to the vibe of the room. The performance was the highlight of our week, leaving everyone buzzing with appreciation. If you’re looking for a jazz experience that’s both polished and heartfelt, Hana Dolgin and her crew are an absolute must-see!"

"We hired Oscar to play background music during our intimate wedding. He did an amazing job, everyone complimented his abilities and performance. I would hire him again for any future need. Contratamos a Oscar para que tocara música en nuestra boda íntima. Hizo un trabajo excelente; todos elogiaron su talento y profesionalismo. Lo contrataría nuevamente para cualquier necesidad futura."

"Une note d’élégance et de chaleur, sans fausses notes ! Pour le cocktail de notre mariage, nous avions décidé en secret de faire appel à Marie Carrié et ses deux musiciens. C’était exactement comme nous l’avions imaginé : une ambiance chaude et jazzy (en restant accessible à toutes les oreilles 😊). Présent et discret à la fois, le groupe à apporté les notes d’élégance qui tapissent encore nos souvenirs de ce moment inoubliable. A cela s’ajoute leur professionnalisme : arrivés à l’heure, installés et prêts à jouer lorsque nous sommes remontés de la mairie. Ouverts à la discussion avec nos invités pendant leur pause et tout simplement ravis de partager ce moment avec nous. Merci encore, et bonne continuation !"

"Having the Manhattan Trio perform at our summer cocktail party was great. The music added a nice atmosphere to the party, with elegant jazz standards everybody recognized. The band even took some requests from guest and performed them beautifully. If you are looking for a sophisticated and elegant jazz music atmosphere, this is it!"

"You will enjoy… While looking for a great band for the musical opening of our wedding, we came across the Jazz Centrale. The previews on their website were promising and live they exceeded our expectations. Among the guests were several “lovers of the genre” who have been playing piano and sax for decades. Appreciation all around. With flair, humor, and passion they bring their performance to life; they are true professionals… Highly recommended… you will enjoy… "

"A mesmerizing show! Acoustic vibes, like John Martin's, stirred my soul. That Coldplay cover? An absolute standout."
