"I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us." Alexa"

" Celebrating an anniversary and birthdays I had 60 guests of all ages. Paul was brilliant. Punctual well dressed for the occasion and with a fantastic voice. The volume was perfect and all my guests commented on how good he was. Amazing Sinatra songs which all ages loved. To cap it all off, a thoroughly charming man. I clearly would recommend Paul to elevate your party. -from Phill, Mercury Yacht Harbour, Southampton "

"From start to finish Thomas kept in contact with us. Thomas arrived well before time to set up and the staff and residents all enjoyed his performance with a few getting up to have a little dance. Thomas was also requested to visit some of the residents who are unable to leave their rooms to play a little tune for them. All in all Thomas delivered his performance beautifully which was enjoyed by all, he played all the greatest tunes which brought back many memories. Thank you Thomas for making the evening a special one and one to remember."

"We thoroughly enjoyed a stylish and musically high-level jazz performance. For our 50th anniversary, we were looking for an elegant jazz band, and this all-round Jazz Quartet exceeded our expectations. The communication beforehand was smooth and clear, which immediately gave us a reassuring feeling in the run-up to our event. On the day itself, the band members arrived well ahead of time at the Atomium—professional and well prepared. Their performance, in their classy dress code, was atmospheric and musically of a very high standard, striking exactly the right tone for this festive occasion. The music added an extra touch of class to the evening and was greatly appreciated by all our guests. In short: reliable, professional, and above all musically excellent. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality live jazz!"

"We just had to write and express our thanks for your saxophone and flute performance at our wedding. We were so glad that you were able to play such a wide variety of musical styles for us – every age group of our guests really appreciated your music and appropriate backing music – the amplification was just right!

"The band was superb. We all had a brilliant evening. Even James the golf club manager commented at the end of the evening and asked how we’d found you. He also thought you were great. Will definitely highly recommend you. And when my next two girls get married will be in touch! Thank you Matthew."

" Recensione per Denise Giardino. Ho avuto il piacere, ormai da alcuni anni di conoscere La cantante Denise Giardino. Sin dalla prima volta che ebbi l’opportunità di ascoltarla dal vivo, rimasi molto colpito dalla sua voce e capacità interpretativa. Avevo ascoltato molti artisti, anche negli Usa, in varie occasioni, ma l’interpretazione artistica di Denise, mi colpì molto essendo unica e molto particolare. Pur avendo ascoltato delle “covers” la, prima volta , ma anche in seguito avendo potuto ascoltare sui brani inediti, la particolarità interpretativa di Denise, si coniuga artisticamente con un timbro vocale caldo, la cui vibrazione rimanda direttamente a grandi interpreti della musica Statunitense soul, jazz e blues. Accompagnata sempre da grandi maestri con chitarra, sax, tastiere ed altri strumenti, le sue vocalizzazioni penetrano nell’animo dell’ascoltatore con intensità artistica unica e singolare, ripeto, degna dei più grandi interpreti che la storia della musica jazz possa ricordare. Geograficamente forse non nel luogo migliore, per far emergere ed apprezzare le sue innate qualità artistiche, Denise Giardino, se fosse nata negli USA, sarebbe stata già senz’altro conosciuta ed avrebbe avuto un eco “ artistico” senz’altro di maggior rilievo, come in effetti senz’altro merita. In occasione delle sue apprezzatissime rappresentazioni musicali in Firenze per le celebrazioni internazionali con la nazione Lakota Sioux ed alla presenza dell’attore Americano Mr Moses Brings Plenty, ( apparso recentemente in varie serie della Paramount Pictures come Yellowstone e LawMan) , anche Mr. “ Mo”, non ha potuto non esprimere il suo fervido apprezzamento per le performance musicali di Denise Giardino, definendola degna dei più importanti appuntamenti artistici di Hollywood. Senza dubbio Denise Giardino, è una cantante di notevole spessore musicale-interpretativo, capace di far vibrare il cuore e l’anima del pubblico che avrà il privilegio di ascoltarla. Di spessore significativo i brani in italiano da lei scritti ed interpretati, poesie dell’anima, per far vibrare i cuori. Con stima sincera Prof. Dr. Alessandro Martire Rappresentante in Italia della Nazione Lakota Sioux- Rosebud "
