"James was so terrific that words don’t give him justice! His performance blew the guests (Naval Officers and High Ranking friends) of my father Admiral James "Ace" Lyons' 90th birthday party away! He sang very special songs that brought back very found memories of the past locations where we lived around the world! James was absolutely wonderful and accommodated everything I had ask and dreamed of. Lastly, James' rendition of ‘My Way” brought tears to everybody's eyes! It was better than Frank Sinatra's and just an unbelievable fantastic evening that none of us will ever forget! Thank you so much!! Michele Lyons"

"We had a lucky hand when we could engage saxophonist Sebastian Lilienthal for our wedding celebration on 03.09.2021. He was just the right person for our Brazilian-German celebration with his beautiful music and large repertoire. He played for us at the wedding ceremony in the registry office, at the subsequent champagne reception outside and at the wedding dinner until late into the night. Especially his South American sounds made our hearts beat faster and contributed to an unforgettably beautiful day. Thank you Sebastian for your great musical accompaniment!"

"I had the pleasure of having Igor come out for my engagement reception and he was incredible. The live tunes were really the final missing touch on a beautiful outdoor event. He was on point when it came to the song selection and setting the tone - if anyone would to ask me I would recommend to have him at your special occasion."

"What a fantastic evening this was, our second French night at Lock & Quay. This one well topped it and every single customers happy with the food and all entertainment. Muriele's voice was one of the best we've had at our venue and we can't wait to have her back here to sing for us and all our customers. Very talented performance and we wish you the very best with all your future gigs. Best wishes and thank you ( June 2023)"

"The Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet delivers amazing performances. The ensemble demonstrated a deep understanding of both the jazz and swing tradition and the soul of live interpretation, balancing technical precision with an inviting sense of spontaneity. Lewis's leadership was evident throughout, with singing that was confident yet understated, allowing space for all the musician voices to shine.There was an unmistakable sense of enjoyment and mutual respect on stage, which translated directly to the audience. Dynamic contrasts were handled with care, and solos were expressive without ever feeling self-indulgent. Particularly impressive was their attention to providing music that truly worked for dancers. Tempos, dynamics, and phrasing were handled with care, ensuring the music was not only enjoyable to listen to but also perfectly suited to the dance floor. Beyond the performance itself, the professional approach stood out throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and reliable from the initial booking through to the end of the event, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, the Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet combined high-quality musicianship with professionalism and thoughtful consideration for their audience, resulting in a thoroughly successful event."
