Review Centre: 1930s Era Musicians & Bands

"Dan Olivo Band provided fantastic entertainment, music and PA hosting duties for our non-profit fundraising event in April of 2019. Were very communicative throughout the planning process, and very accommodating when we suddenly experienced a downpour and had to completely adjust our staging. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely use them again in the future!"

"If I didn’t say it enough to you last Saturday (or to any other member of the swing band I could find!), thank you so much for the amazing set Mr Swing did at our wedding! What a fabulous night! The swing band was something I was really looking forward to and you exceeded all expectations – it was amazing! From start to finish, we loved every second of it and the fact that you were able to play ‘Let There Be Love’ for our first dance made it even more special and meant a lot to both of us. Every one of our guests came and told us how much they loved the swing band and I’m not sure there was a single song you played when Phil and I weren’t up on the dance floor! I’ve never seen my dad and uncle as animated as when they were singing along to ‘Delilah’ and even my 87 year old grandma joined the conga line at the end of the night! It was everything that we imagined it would be and more; Mr Swing really did help to make it the best day of our lives. I know I managed to accost most members of the swing band on the night but can you please pass on our most heart-felt thanks to everyone involved – the band was truly fantastic! We’ve been singing ‘Ain’t that a kick in the head’ all week! I’ll email you any pictures that we get through from our photographer. From your most enthusiastic fans."

"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."

"A truly sublime evening! - I could not recommend Dolores & F. highly enough, led by the exquisite vocals of Sarah Jane. Our perfect mid-summer conditions; outdoor 60th birthday with 80+ guests, were complemented by crystal-clear vocals, excellent instrumentalists and a repertoire from ‘50s -90s which set and caught the mood. The band’s flexibility even embraced ‘roving’ musicians (ie the birthday boy on clarinet) who wanted to indulge in some trad jazz. Everyone had such a good time, in no small part due to the quality, atmosphere and enjoyment created by D&F. Brilliant!"

"Dimitris Bakopoulos Trio were excellent for our event. The level of playing is high and the music reflected to everyone invited on our event. Very nice mood, good atmosphere, very inviting for the people to dance to. "

"The Colleyville Police Department would like to thank Just Jazz for providing such outstanding musical entertainment at our 2024 Police Department Awards Banquet. Your music made a huge difference in the ceremony and there were many positive comments about the music. Please extend our appreciation to all of your musicians! It goes without saying your music helped make this year's event very special for everyone in attendance."

"We were celebrating World Music Day and we wanted music from different cultures. We thought the accordion sounded French and there were French songs played at our event so we were really happy about that. It was wonderful. People really did enjoy it. There were lots of smiles and the music was really lovely. "

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the band for helping to make my 60th party such a special occasion. You were fantastic and everyone was asking where I had found you and how good you were. Maybe we’ll do it all again when I’m 70."

"Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. After a stressful 2 hour drive it was truly a relaxing evening listening to Carolyn's wonderful voice and the musicians behind her. We missed the band 4 years ago at beginning of lockdown. Truly worth the wait. Thank you Carolyn for heads up email to say you were performing. We will be back. "

"Warmly Recommended This is the second time I am organizing a company party with life music from “Jazz Centrale”. The first it was a Jazz quartet with Bossa Nova singer Agnes and this time it was a Jazz Quartet with Jazz Singer SaraLee. Both were equally great. Warmly recommended not only for quality of the music but also for the smoothness of the organization. "
