"Parish's voice was warm and expressive throughout, and Williams proved to be the ideal accompanist with his light, melodic touch and studied rhythmic flow. John Barham played strong, firm bass lines, and the three sounds - piano, voice and bass - blended together successfully."

"C'est bien d'avoir écouté quatre saxes qui jouent tout. Une ascension musicale du classique aux canons du jazz ... Je les ai aussi entendus autour de Bologne avec leur swing et les chansons de la Reine, les bandes sonores et les jeux vidéo (Super Mario) sont tout simplement bons."

"Dear Giampiero , ( the piano and synthesizer player) I listened to your beautiful C.D. and I wouldn't write to you unless I truly enjoyed it. Your very personal style and personality really shines in this musical world. Your harmonic reinterpretations are gorgeous, the joyous flights of the well composed scores for the synthesizer are marvelous , and its desperate dives are thrilling. I'm really pleased to tell you what I think . Last but not least I enjoy the wonderful singer who follows you marvelously. Thank you ."

"We were so pleased we chose Casado for our garden party, they were professional, approachable and really tailored the day to our needs. Casado played pieces that were personally requested by us, which meant a lot. The gentle style of swing and Latin jazz was perfect for our event and we would definitely recommend them."

"Great band ! Professional presentation, great players , great vocals . The best part was how they engaged the with the audience making sure everyone was having a fabulous time ! Took every request and Shelley, (the vocalist), had complete control of the party . Everyone loved D-Train Jazz. They all were accomplished musicians With years of experience and impressive experiences with the biggest names in the music business . I’ve gone to several weddings in the past few years , and no other group compared . Their price was so reasonable and explained that they played for their passion for music rather than money …. And boy! …. You could see and feel their Passion!!!…….. Rating: 10 plus!"

"Thank you so very much for playing yesterday. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and it turned a sad occasion into the celebration that Della wanted. The music you played was fabulous. Everyone commented that the music was a magical touch and that Della would have loved every minute of it. So thank you and please send our thanks to the rest of your band. I found booking your band a very easy and straightforward process with prompt correspondence from you. A few friends and myself are going to book a Friday evening with your band and dinner at the Savoy "

"The Las Vegas Experience was a great show for our Christmas Party. Music for all tastes with a fantastic singer and musician performing with a full light show and great sound. Marty is a true professional and a gentleman, nothing was too much trouble and provided a good DJ service as well."

"What a great night of music! We are so delighted to have Mixed Bag in our space. Their talent & synergy is top notch with arrangements of jazz classics, as well as several other delightful “genre bend” surprises. Bluecorn was filled with music, guests, laughter, and great food & beverage. Thanks to the guys for setting the vibes. Excited to have them again."

"I wanted a swing/jazz band for my wedding, and oh boy, did they deliver! They were swinging, and lively; their repertoire was quite expansive. They reached out to ask if I had any specific songs and then added additional pieces that suited the style I wanted. We contracted them for both the ceremony and the reception, we had a 3 piece band for the ceremony (piano, bass, and sax) They showed up early and set up with no extra help needed, played some gentle jazz music until the ceremony began, and even added in a drummer for no extra charge. I flip-flopped on the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to until almost the very last moment, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible. For the ceremony, we requested a 7 piece band so it could be boisterous and fun. There was almost no time that the dance floor was empty from the moment they began playing, even though the music they played was a sort of old-school jazz that few people know how to properly dance to. They played so well and brought such an element of joy and fun, that all our guests felt comfortable enough to dance all night. We learned how to swing dance for our first dance (Louis Armstrong, 'Bout Time), and the band played it to perfection (even if we didn't dance it perfectly LOL). This moment is one I will treasure forever, it was exactly as I had wanted it to be. For the rest of the night, they played off a setlist of a few songs I gave them and filled in the rest with their own recommendations. The singer has the most beautiful voice, all the band members play perfectly, I felt like I was in a 1920s jazz bar which was exactly what I had wanted. We had guests approach us all throughout the night, and even now to ask who the band was and to congratulate us on such a fun event. If you want a band that can swing, rock, and any other musical verb you like, this is the band you want. They were so communicative, helpful, and perfectly able to understand my vision. To the Orignal Moonlighters: thank you for making my wedding as special as it was."

"We are passionate about Sinatra, and Giuliano's beautiful voice made our wedding truly unforgettable. His performance added a touch of class and elegance, creating a unique atmosphere. Giuliano is not only a great artist on stage but also an exquisite person. His kindness and friendliness made our encounter a true pleasure. The ensemble of musicians who accompanied him was top-notch, contributing to a perfect musical experience. In short, if you're looking for a top-level swing professional for your wedding, Giuliano is the perfect choice. He made our day truly special, and we can't thank him enough for the unforgettable performance."

"Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for Friday night. You were absolutely amazing, and better than we imagined. The staff have all said how brilliant you were. Thank you for being part of our Works party. We really enjoyed having you there and the music you played was just what we wanted and hoped for. We are all still talking about the night and I have party blues. Wish it hadn’t happened yet so I could do it all again. Your details will definitely come in use for future events I’m sure."
