"Well, where can I start! From initially stumbling upon Dr Jazz and realising that there was something rather special about their approach and unique sound, to the very first email and phone calls to discuss our plans for the day, all the way through to our Wedding day itself – Dr Jazz and company were brilliant. Helpful, friendly, and wonderfully entertaining, we could not have asked for anything more. The set itself was fantastic – we were blown away with how much of an impact they made, not only in terms of everyone feeling the urge to get up to dance (which was a slight worry for us before the day!), but also with their spot on interaction with the guests, and overall management and ownership of the evening. We really knew we’d made the right decision as soon as the first note was played – talk about creating a spectacle!! In terms of a front man Matthew is absolutely superb, and his supporting crew of brilliantly talented musicians helped make our day one to remember for both us and our guests. Thank you all so very much for everything. We know what it’s like trying to find the ‘right band’, ourselves having trawled through many hundreds of sample tracks from other people and groups, and the worries that come with it regarding whether people will like it, whether it’ll be well received etc. The best advice I can honestly give is that if you are sitting there reading this review, and you have enjoyed the sample tracks you’ve listened to, then please don’t hesitate to book these guys. You will not regret it, and you and your guests will certainly never forget it. They were nothing short of marvellous. Once again we wanted to say thank you very much for everything – we really had a fantastic time, as did everyone else in attendance, and it is all thanks to you and your crew. You certainly made the evening, if not the day for us, and we are so pleased and lucky to have been able to book you to play for us. You were nothing short of brilliant, and we can’t stop talking or thinking about how amazing you were (and nor can anyone else!) It was so lovely to meet you all in person. All the best for the future, and please rest assured that we’ll be singing your praises for the years to come!"

"Marcia Bamberg gave a fantastic concert with her swing quartet on Friday evening, October 13. Marcia managed to continuously hold the attention of the audience with her beautiful voice and warm appearance and the musical accompaniment by John Ligthart on guitar, among others, was surprising and catchy. Afterwards, Marcia and 'her' men rightly received a standing ovation. Highly recommended for other (intimate) stages."

"Kevin e il suo collega chitarrista sono stati semplicemente fantastici! Oltre ad aver suonato in modo impeccabile, Kevin è stato super disponibile fin da subito — ci ha seguiti con grande professionalità, dandoci consigli preziosi per la cerimonia e aiutandoci con il coordinamento. Premetto che sono molto selettiva con la musica: sapevo esattamente cosa volevo (violino e chitarra) e avevo già in mente tutte le canzoni per i vari momenti. Non volevo assolutamente l’effetto “piano bar” o uno show troppo appariscente: cercavo eleganza, atmosfera e buon gusto. E loro hanno centrato perfettamente il punto! Proprio per questo, dopo aver cercato tra un’infinità di fornitori, ho scelto loro. Noi siamo di Roma e loro sono venuti apposta da Firenze fino a Tuscania (VT) per il nostro matrimonio con una disponibilità e una professionalità davvero rare. Durante la cerimonia e l’aperitivo hanno creato un’atmosfera magica, emozionante e piena di classe. Se potessi tornare indietro, li sceglierei di nuovo senza esitazione… anzi, li prenderei anche per la cena e il resto della festa!! Consigliatissimi a chi desidera un accompagnamento musicale raffinato, coinvolgente e mai banale. 🎻🎸💖 "

"Optreden Happy Hendrix voor mijn vaders 93e verjaardag Het optreden van Happy was fantastisch. Mijn vader werd 93 jaar en vierde zijn verjaardag met vrienden en kennissen. Hij was tot tranen toe geroerd. Hij heeft zo genoten... En hij heeft zelfs nog meegezongen. Het was, mede door jouw optreden, een onvergetelijke dag! Dank je wel!"

"The Mellowtone Jazz Trio played for us at an evening reception for our son's Bar Mitzvah, and they were outstanding. We were aiming for a relaxed chilled out atmosphere in a marquee in our back garden, and their music provided the perfect backdrop. We had masses of compliments from family and friends, and we would not hesitate to recommend them. The process of inquiring and booking them was also simple and a pleasure. Thanks for a wonderful evening! "

"The sound of KAMA Jazz&Bossa band made our silver wedding party unforgettable. We chose the duo with Francesca on vocals and Alex on guitar. Francesca followed us step by step in choosing the songs she would perform, including bossa nova, jazz standards and Italian songs. She took care of all the organizational aspects, so that my wife Elena and I only had to think about enjoying the performance. She is very professional. Francesca's in tune voice and Alex's expertise, the excellently chosen pieces (including some of their own compositions) gave us a concert that enchanted us and all our guests. I hope we will have the opportunity to hear KAMA Jazz&Bossa band again as soon as possible. I can only thank Francesca and Alex once again and wish them all the recognition they deserve."

"Pía es un auténtico ciclón sobre el escenario. Aparte de su excelencia vocal e instrumental de los músicos que le acompañan, así como lo acertado del repertorio, tiene la capacidad de conectar con el público desde el mismo comienzo de su actuación, y provocar las más variadas emociones. Una presencia poderosa, una tremenda capacidad como actriz y su gran profesionalidad hacen que contar con ella sea un acierto seguro en tu evento, en cualquiera de los formatos que ofrece."

"I can't speak highly enough of this band, they are professional, talented & sound amazing. Before the wedding Jess worked very hard with the venue to ensure we could have the best possible line up for our reception and set up a surprise happy birthday for the mother of the bride with no problems. Thank you for helping to make our special day fun & memorable! Luke & Noriko "
