"Jesper Hedegaard, Danish pianist/composer, has spent much of his career playing Brazilian music. In addition to his undeniable talent, he plays with the most important element required to interpret Brazilian music: Passion. Undoubtedly, he is an exponent of the genre, keeping wonderful nuances of Brazilian music alive in Europe. Brazil is grateful”."

"Jesper Hedegaard is almost more Brazilian than Danish. Since 1976, he has devoted his life to Brazilian music, has grown together with the part of it that builds a bridge to jazz. He is a well-known and treasured musician in Brazil and a tireless communicator of the rich Brazilian music in Denmark without, moreover, making a bigger being out of himself. It's the music - that's what it's all about. This is clearly reflected on his latest CD, a modest affair of just over half an hour. The beautiful trio playing with drummer Magno Bissoli and bassist Sidiel Vieira shows Hedegaard at home in the rich borderland between Brazilian and jazz. Apart from two of his own compositions, Jesper Hedegaard plays with a trio of compositions by Lúcio Alves, Ary Barroso, Tom Jobim, Bruno Martino and Bruno Brighetti. Beautiful and endearing with a restraint that helps build tension that sharpens attention. During the apparently effortless, elegantly swinging playing, a dialogue unfolds between the three musicians, which sharpens the desire for more than the record's 33 minutes. However, Bissoli is sometimes so discreet in his playing that he almost disappears. A pity, because here one of Brazil's best and most generous musicians could give the music more edge. It's a trio with great potential. Hopefully the three of them will continue together and make an announcement soon."

"Rory was a big hit at our wedding! He played excellent renditions of our ceremony songs and kept our guests thoroughly entertained in the library and on the terrace. His talent on the sax really added a fantastic atmosphere to our day and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend him!"

"I hired John to entertain my sorority reunion guess at the Bean Runner Cafe. He is such a RockStar. I also hired John to host an entertain the 2022 Miss NewYork Teen pageant contestants. His guitar Wizardry brightened up their day as they dance and sang along with him. "

"I had an awesome birthday party thanks to the Latin Formula. The communication with the group before the event was impeccable, and I felt at ease immediately. During the event, the band was awesome and had the room dancing immediately. Had such a great time thanks to these guys, would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a latin band."

"We were a wedding party of 60 people from Toronto, Canada and came to celebrate love in the beautiful Comporta, Portugal! Everything was planned in details, accommodations, food, drinks, setups, everything but the most important thing for any party-MUSIC!! We looked for a DJ on the Lisbon scene and we noticed this lady, did a quick research and contacted her! That was a great decision! DJ Van Stork is everything anyone needs for any party. On our first contact, she said, "no worries, just send me your playlist, everything is covered!!!" And that's how it was! A charming lady, great, professional DJ, she made our wedding party so cheerful, so nice, so unforgettable!!! And all of that with one very fair, affordable all inclusive fee!!! So Van-Vanessa Storck, thank you again for adding that enormous joy to our wedding party!! Family Sehovic"
