"This man is a legend & a true artiste. I got in touch with this gentleman to perform a few nice songs while I propose to my girlfriend. Not only did he put his heart out in his songs but he also helped me arrange everything that went into the proposal. From the selection of his songs to the texture of his voice, everything was just outstanding and I'd be ever so grateful to him for making that special moment and evening so memorable!"

"Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute : Un nouvel orchestre sur la Côte d’Azur Alors que les évènements culturels sur la Côte d’Azur comme partout en France rencontrent cet été 2020 de grandes difficultés à se maintenir en raison des contraintes sanitaires, un nouvel orchestre, dédié aux musiques des films de Quentin Tarantino vient de voir le jour : Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute. Cet orchestre composé de 10 membres, instrumentistes et chanteurs, proposent un répertoire basé sur les chansons et instrumentaux utilisés par Quentin Tarantino dans ses films. On a parfois reproché à Tarantino de ne pas commander de musique originale. Dans ses six premiers films il a préféré utiliser des pépites rock, country, rockabilly, surf music, funk, (« Reservoir Dogs », « Pulp Fiction », « Jackie Brown », « Death Proof ») mais aussi quelques extraits et effets sonores tirés de westerns, de films de série Z ou séries des années 50/60, de films de kung-fu (« Kill Bill »). A partir de 2009 et son film « Inglorious Basterds », il commence à utiliser des musiques écrites pour d’autres films, notamment de Morricone et Luis Bacalov. Il puise ainsi dans le répertoire des westerns-spaghetti. Dès lors, ses prochains films vont contenir à la fois des musiques et des chansons originales, mais aussi toujours des titres plus « vintage », choisis dans sa propre discothèque de vinyles. En dehors de ses propres réalisations, Tarantino a scénarisé et parfois aussi joué dans plusieurs autres films. Parmi eux, l’excellent « Une Nuit en Enfer » (From Dusk till Dawn) de Robert Rodriguez, dont la bande son est particulièrement rock. Tous les bikers de chaque Bandidos MC aimeraient avoir un Titti Twister pour y débuter leur soirée. C’est justement grâce à un orchestre tel que Call me Winston qu’on peut imaginer des événements, soirée thématique autour du cinéma et de l’univers décalé qu’on rencontre dans les films de Tarantino. La composition de Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute, avec section rythmique complète et section cuivres lui permet de couvrir une grande partie du répertoire utilisé dans les films de Tarantino. Un couple de chanteur/chanteuse permet encore d’élargir les possibilités. Outre le fait qu’ils sont tous d’excellents musiciens, les membres de Call me Winston développent un coté visuel « 100% Tarantinesque », avec un look inspiré des bandits de « Reservoir Dogs » ou des tueurs de « Pulp Fiction ». Construit comme un parcours musical à travers les films et la diversité de ses styles, le spectacle présenté par Call me Winston plaira à un large public. En outre, avec quelques clins d’œil çà et là, les fans de Tarantino se régaleront. "

"MK & the Misters played at our wedding in April and were absolutely fantastic. All setting up and arrangements on the day were faultless, and the band were easy to work with, as well as being very polite and professional. The band were incredible and kept the dance floor packed from the first song to the last. Their wide ranging playlist has plenty to appeal to both young and old, and everyone was singing and dancing along. All in all our expectations were far exceeded by this amazing band. Excellent, 5 stars."

"Raphael and his band played at our wedding last week and they were phenomenal! During the planning process, Raphael was very responsive and helpful, and such a pleasure to work with. The band played for our aperitivo and dinner, and our guests are still telling us how much they loved the music. They created a classy environment for our wedding and played the perfect music for us. We were able to make requests as well which they played. Blue moon jazz band was one of the best parts of our night and we highly recommend them for anyone getting married in Italy!"
