Review Centre: Pianists

"We hired this organist and pianist for our wedding in Bellinzona, and I can honestly say that the music was one of the most memorable aspects of the entire day. From the very first email exchange, everything was handled with clarity, professionalism, and genuine care. We didn’t have a clear idea of what music to choose for the ceremony, but we received thoughtful suggestions that perfectly matched the tone we wanted: elegant, emotional, and timeless. On the day of the wedding, the organ performance in the church was absolutely breathtaking. The sound filled the space in such a powerful yet delicate way, creating an atmosphere that was both intimate and grand. The entrance music gave everyone goosebumps, and I could see several guests visibly moved during some of the pieces. Timing was perfect throughout, which made the ceremony feel seamless and incredibly well-coordinated. During the reception, the transition to piano music was just as impressive. The repertoire ranged from classical pieces to more modern, softer arrangements, all played with great sensitivity. The music never felt intrusive but instead added a warm and refined background that elevated the entire experience. Many of our guests asked for the musician’s contact details afterward, which says everything. If you are planning an event in Bellinzona or anywhere in Canton Ticino and want truly high-quality live music, I can’t recommend this service enough."

"Craig played at our wedding ceremony last week and was a wonderful and integral addition to our day; the style was perfect for the occasion and made the ceremony magical for us and all our guests. The set up was great, as Craig was able to be discreet with equipment but the sound filled the room we were in. Having Craig play guests into the room, the entrance and exit songs and then playing guests out was wonderful, he went above and beyond to personalise the music to suit us and our guests and learnt songs specifically for us. The whole event was wonderfully performed without a note missed and it truly wouldn't have been as emotional and special without Craig there. We will be delighted to recommend Craig to all our friends and family to play at any event or social gathering! "

"Pour notre événement privé à Montreux, nous cherchions un pianiste capable de créer une ambiance élégante et conviviale, et nous avons eu la chance de trouver un musicien exceptionnel. Dès notre premier échange, il a démontré un grand professionnalisme et une écoute attentive, nous guidant dans le choix d’un répertoire parfaitement adapté à l’atmosphère souhaitée. Au cours de la soirée, chaque morceau a été joué avec soin et sensibilité, créant des moments émouvants ainsi que des instants plus légers et joyeux. Sa grande polyvalence nous a impressionnés : il a parfaitement combiné musique classique, jazz et pièces contemporaines tout en conservant élégance et harmonie. Nos invités ont été ravis et nous ont félicités à plusieurs reprises pour le choix du pianiste, preuve de l’impact positif qu’il a eu sur l’ensemble de la soirée. Sa précision technique, son professionnalisme et sa capacité à émouvoir font de lui le choix idéal pour tout événement raffiné dans le canton de Vaud."

"From start to finish, the Monte Carlo Pianist delivered a performance of extraordinary elegance. Each note was played with a combination of technical mastery and emotional depth that captivated everyone in attendance. During our event, his interpretations of classical masterpieces and contemporary pieces created a sophisticated, inviting atmosphere that made every moment memorable. The first dance, in particular, was elevated by a bespoke arrangement, leaving a lasting impression on all our guests. For anyone looking to combine luxury, emotion, and world-class musicianship, this pianist is simply unparalleled."

"Jahangir performed at our venue back in August 2022. It was a party that my husband and I hosted for our 25th anniversary, between family and friends. His choice of music was on point and everyone loved his songs. He played the piano and sang with his guitar as well. We were very happy to have hired him and hope to hire him again sometime in the future as well! "

"I hired Dave to entertain a small party of 16 people for a special birthday. Our guest list ranged in age from 25 to 85, and it's fair to say that everyone enjoyed his music and entertaining style. Dave was incredibly communicative about logistics, flexible on set list and accommodated a few special requests. His set up was brilliant - lighting, sound and acoustics were great - and it worked well even inside a small room with a lot of people. If you're looking for upbeat entertainment and a "one-stop shop" for a gathering (large or small), I'd highly recommend giving him a call.

"If Dr. John and Tom Waits leave you wanting more, lend your ear to one-of-a-kind Aussie artist Pugsley Buzzard, who assimilates their piano playing, singing and songwriting style into his own blues-jazz musical distillation. On this, his fourth solo CD since 2007’s Hammer These Tongs, Buzzard delivers an all-original set recorded in New Orleans, Melbourne and the Blue Mountains. The Aussie backing musicians are so hip to Buzzard’s swampy Crescent City-influenced grooves that it’s difficult to tell which tracks were recorded where. Complementing the Big Easy contingent of tenor and baritone saxophonist Jimmie Carpenter, trumpeter Antonio Gambrell, trombonist Craig Klein, double bassist Nathan Lambertson, guitarist John Fohl, drummer Charles Brewer and singer Irene Sage, is an equally talented band of top local players. The opening bars of the lead-in blues mambo instrumental ‘Cigarstore Indian’, on which Buzzard’s commanding piano echoes Professor Longhair, James Booker and Allen Toussaint all rolled into one, promises a bourbon-drenched musical trip to follow. Buzzard doesn’t disappoint, his gravelly Joe Cocker-by-way-of-Coco Robicheaux vocals and pulsating piano serving up a solid mix of New Orleans R&B from the Fats Domino styled ‘Dirty Kings’ and the inventive minor-key rave-up ‘Gumbo Boogie’, to the gris-gris-soaked, Night Tripper hoodoo funk of ‘Po’ Boy’, ‘Fire In The Hole’ and ‘Mischief’. The Dixieland flavoured ‘Sin City Lights’ gives way to ‘Salamanca Blues’ a solo instrumental displaying Buzzard’s mastery of stride piano. Chasin’ Aces is a well-crafted, authentic New Orleans Down Under body of work. Al Hensley Rythmns Magazine "

"Me and my staff hosted the Moon and Silver Duo for our Christmas Party this year and I have to admit that it was great, they created the perfect atmosphere that we were looking for, they played a beautiful songs list with jazz and Christmas songs that our guests really enjoyed. Great vibe and great sound! "

"Review received on 12/20/2019 Jennifer and her partner were incredible! I requested a mix of holiday songs and Canadian classics for my company Christmas party of about 100 people and Jennifer and her partner absolutely delivered. I got non-stop comments all night about how beautiful the music was. If I ever get to throw a party like this again, I would definitely re-book. Thank you so much!
