Review Centre: 1920s Era Musicians & Bands

"I would love to keep this band a secret so I can use them for every event we have, but I am also hoping that this review reaches someone who is looking for absolute magic for their own celebration. I would hire them a million times over. They absolutely made our event. Jim was on top of everything from the first conversation. I only wish I had more to hire them for. Spectacular!! 10 stars!!! "

"We hired The Decatur Street Trio for my Dad's 60th Birthday Party. Rosie was extremely helpful and accommodating, very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. The band were great and even learned an unusual special request! They blended in perfectly with the party atmosphere and we would definitely recommend them xx"

"We hired Melissa to sing at our restaurant last month. She performed a fantastic 1940's to 1960's set which went down really well with all of our regulars. Looking forward to her coming back in a few months. 10/10 highly recommend!"

"I had this chance to met him personally at this event held by the Immigration Museum of Melbourne. This guy was super humble! We had great talks.. He had the spirit of making his music to connect people with Earth. "

"The Gatsby Cats were a perfect fit for our small relaxed wedding with a mix of family and friends. They played in a marquee and read the room really well, with one more chilled set just after dinner which was ideal for cocktails and conversation, followed by a second set which was more upbeat and got people up and dancing. We had several comments from all ages that they really enjoyed the music and Francesca had an amazing voice. All three were lovely and Francesca was very communicative in the preceding weeks. "

"It has been brilliant to work with Harry on our last few events. Harry is professional and nails every single piece that we work on together! If you are looking for a trumpeter that will smash every performance give Harry a call! "

"The Jazz Kings, consistently deliver exceptional jazz and blues performances that captivate audiences. Their musical prowess, combined with their light-hearted humour, creates an unforgettable and highly entertaining experience. I have personally witnessed The Jazz Kings' ability to engage and mesmerize audiences with their repertoire of standard jazz and blues classics, as well as their unique arrangements and original compositions. Their dedication to preserving the essence of these genres while infusing their artistic interpretations showcases their extraordinary talent and musicianship. Moreover, The Jazz Kings' collaboration with the resident guest vocalist Nicole Parker-Brown adds depth and versatility to their performances. Nicole's stunning vocals seamlessly blend with the band's instrumental prowess, creating a harmonious and captivating musical experience."

"There was one helluva great set of jazz this evening, when band leader and trumpet player Rick Holland brought nine fabulous musicians to the Pausa Art House including alto sax giant Bobby Militello, tenor sax wizard Andy Weinzler and baritone sax player Dean Keller, along with trumpet players Ron D’Angelo and Mark Filsinger, with trombonists Ken Crane and Brendan Lanighan, with Tom Kasperick on drums and bass player Emiliano Lansky, and with the very young, but very cool Harry Graser on piano. The great, blended horn sound provided a rock-solid ground for the wide-ranging, but sweetly swinging vocals of the young, very gifted Lindsey Holland. Do not ever miss a chance to hear this group in the future!"

"Robert and I are so over the moon grateful for the way Crook & Company graciously serenaded us and our guests for our wedding. You all did a phenomenal job with every detail. You were all professional, had amazing energy and extremely talented! You guys made the night perfect! I will definitely recommend your band in the future. "

"Saturday December 14 we went to the Christmas concert of the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet in the old pumping station in Heerhugowaard. Great, atmospheric evening with top musicians and the beautiful, lived-in voice of Marcia Bamberg. Gipsy Jazz, the way you like to hear it. Amazing how Christmas hits and French chansons were arranged in the swinging style of Django Reinhardt. We can expect a lot from this Quartet! Recommended."
