"We booked The Hot Hats for our joint 60th Birthday party on 7th March 2020. The Hot Hats were consummate professionals from the moment we contacted Alfie to make inquiries to the moment they set up and started to play at our party. Their guitar playing and singing were absolutely fantastic, as well as their DJ-ing, and our party would not have been the same without them. A number of our guests asked us how and where we had discovered them and could not believe it when we told them we had found their website on Google! We would not hesitate in recommending The Hot Hats for any occasion, whether it be a small gathering or a large party – they are perfect for any celebration! We would certainly ask The Hot Hats to play at another event of ours… maybe our joint 70th? "

" We received thousand compliments for the choice of band from our guests, Nalìs were wonderful. From the first meeting Annalisa made us feel as if she were only following our wedding, available whenever we had questions, a truly professional, delicate and delightful person. The songs were all beautiful, masterfully performed, they helped us with the music of the ceremony, then they covered the aperitif and after dinner. They prepared two songs especially for us, for the first dance and for the cutting of the cake. We danced between dinner and cutting the cake, even my 85 and 95 year old grandmothers jumped on the floor for a dance! Thanks guys, it was perfect!!"

"Here's more clear evidence courtesy of Italian-born saxophonist Mirko Fait's quintet that tasteful jazz doesn't run its course at America's borders. These are accomplished musicians who know how to swing and can hold their heads high in any company, foreign or domestic. On the other hand, there is nothing here that sets Fait's group apart from many others of its size and makeup; it is simply a well-schooled working ensemble doing its thing, no more and no less. Fait, who plays soprano and tenor sax, is joined on the front line by flugel Roberto Piermartire, who, like Fait, is an accomplished musician whose solos are invariably polished if not otherwise exceptional. Pianist Antonio Zambrini is another strong soloist, while bassist Rodrigo Amaral amplifies the group's persona by adding his husky baritone on four selections. The quintet's other member, drummer Roby Giannella, is a solid timekeeper who tends to his duties without stepping on anyone's toes. Guitarist Giampiero Spina adds a pastel solo voice on "Sad Eyes Child," "B Mine" and "Funny Day." The program is composed primarily (eight of ten tracks) of compositions by Fait, and they are melodic and charming if less than memorable. Several are in a Latin mode including Amaral's vocals on "Quanno Chiove," "Rebecca Smile," "Nada Mais" and "Aquarela." While the quintet is pictured on the inside jacket performing at the Sant' Elpidio Jazz Festival, Confidences was recorded in a studio, most likely at Fait's home base, Milan. Other particulars are elusive, as the liner notes are in Italian. What is most germane, of course, is whether Fait's quintet is proficient and worth hearing, and the answer to that is yes. The songs, all originals, are for the most part bright and charming, and the quintet plays them well. Although there is nothing here that blazons superiority, neither is there anything that is less than well-managed. Track Listing: Lastlove; Sad Eyes’ Child; Quanno Chiove; Never Alone Melita; Rebecca Smile; All I Missed; B Mine; Nada Mais; Funny Day; Aquarela. Personnel: Mirko Fait: soprano, tenor saxophone; Roberto Piermartire: flugelhorn; Antonio Zambrini: piano; Giampiero Spina: guitar (2, 7, 9); Rodrigo Amaral: electric bass, voice; Roby Giannella: drums. Title: Confidences | Year Released: 2017 | Record Label: Jazz Di Marca"

"We couldn’t have asked for a better band! Music&Soul kept the energy high and the dance floor full. Every moment, from the ceremony to the final song, was magical."

"These lovely people played at our wedding in August 2019 and they were amazing. Excelled our expectations & were an excellent choice to play live music for our evening. The band were brilliant and we had a wonderful time dancing the night away with all our friends. Very helpful and flexible enough to fit around the rest of the wedding reception plans. Professional from start to finish, I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending and hope we can find an excuse to book again."

" I've heard the music of New Age Flamenco around Seattle over the years and we got lucky enough to have them at our Ceremony and Reception. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Oleg and New Age Flamenco. I won't even go into the basics [of being on time and other common sense], because these guys are simply the best in town. From their professionalism to how reliable they are to the standard of entertainment they provide, I will forever recommend them to anyone holding any event. Oleg wend above and beyond with planning the whole evening with us for literally hours and we couldn't have been more thankful. On top of that, I had the honor to perform with them at our wedding, which was one of my favorite memories through the evening! Thank you for everything guys! S.D."

"Oh wow, Joey was epic!! Such an amazing voice and such fantastic musical skills. Joey arrived on time and absolutely blew us and our guests away with such beautifully played music. He played and sung all the specific songs we asked at key moments during our ceremony we really couldn’t have asked for much more. Very accommodating, and he learned songs just for us - was just perfect."

"Best Brass band I’ve come across. Super professional and with a very cool repertoire of music. One anthem after another. If you need a party band this is it! The fact that they can perform anywhere without electricity was such a bonus! Thank you 🙏 "
