"From the bride: "The music was wonderful! We could not have asked for a better band. Our guests were really impressed; the Uptown Society Orchestra really made our reception special.” From the groom: "What a professional group. Their exceptional musicianship brought a real element of class to the party. There is nothing like the sound of a live band, and this group made our reception better than we could have hoped for.” From the father of the bride: (Dennis Nowicki): "The band was fantastic -- they really exceeded our expectations." Anders Dahlberg and Stacy Nowicki, Wedding at the Chicago Art Museum"

"We had a wonderful time! The music definitely met our expectations. I'm glad I chose you, and that it turned out so well. Without ever meeting you, without hearing the music beforehand (unlike on the website), the performance was exactly what I expected. I can confidently recommend booking you this way. Friendly (phone) contact."

" Noa played at a surprise party held on Saturday 28th June for my daughter's home coming from her travels through South America.We decided on a Latin Jazz theme which was a huge success. I would highly recommend Noa for the sense of the mood which she created and her vocals which were absolutely perfect for the evening 10 out of 10 for a great evening had by all!"

"We asked Noa to sing at our wedding and she filled the church with a superb a cappella version of 'Amazing Grace' which left the congregation and us spellbound! Thank you Noa for helping to make our day so special!"

"I hired Rick Holland Productions for my wedding and I thank my lucky stars I did. They were just an absolute solid band. I live in Toronto so the 10 piece band crossed the border for my wedding - our wedding coordinator said she'd never heard a band that good over her decade long career. I like to think I'm a genius for finding them ?? Kian K., Toronto, ON, CA"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring this group for a corporate event, and from the moment they took the stage, they created a very elegant and refined atmosphere providing the perfect background music for our dinner. Their energy was incisive but never aggressive, allowing all the guests to enjoy the conversation. Each band member was not only talented but also very kind and flexible. Their professionalism throughout the planning process and during the event was top-notch. I highly recommend them for any event."

"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."
