"Jazz Trio The guys arrived early and were set up well in advance of the start of our event. They are terrific musicians. They were good about checking exactly what our needs were and were able to fit in with the event vibe perfectly. I would recommend and hire them for future events.

"As soon as we saw them with my partner, we knew they were the band we wanted for our wedding. What caught our attention the most was their style—we were looking for something different. They played hit after hit, and even prepared our favorite song to add to their setlist. We got married in Tarragona last year and couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire them. Wishing them nothing but success!"

"Comments and feedback were that our 3 part harmonies were above average and we played all the classic Rock Standards which other bands would not attempt!"

"Filippo and Azu performed at our wedding drinks reception in Hackney Town Hall, and they were absolutely fantastic. Our guests were blown away by their talent, and knew exactly the vibe of the room and how to cater to the event. They arrived and set up without any disturbance whatsoever, allowed us to use their microphone and speakers for a few speeches, we couldn’t recommend them more. Fantastic!"

"We couldn’t have been happier with the band who made it such a special night. They were a perfect choice for us with a great look, sound and spirit that got everyone in the party mood. Dani and the gang are excellent performers and really made the extra effort to make the Gatsby/1920s 1920s-themed night one to remember."

"I was working Front of House at the Falcon Manor in Settle this Saturday 30th Nov and they were performing at a wedding we held there. They were amazing. Their voices and energy are incredible. I wanted to join the party, it would have almost been worth getting fired for to get up and dance. ? Love... Sarah Wood"

"From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. The entire band were absolutely incredible and catered to our every request. Great audience engagement, superb instrument playing and banging vocals, I couldn't have asked for a better band to share our special (wedding) day with. I would highly recommend them! Thank you to each and every one of you! x"

"I booked the MOTA boys for the Station's New Year's Eve party. They sounded great, played lots of well-known popular songs and got the audience going. Looking forward to booking them again soon."

"Charlie Jennison's debut album for Maine's Invisible Music Records is a smooth piece of work. "Smooth" not in the sense of the saccharine stuff served up by contemporary jazz players, but smooth as in classy unpretentiousness in the playing. Jennison is an alumnus of the Do'ah Wild Music Ensemble, a New Hampshire group which recorded for Global Pacific label. He has since gravitated to jazz having recorded with singers Kathleen Kolman and Leila Percy, among others. Jennison has also worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry and Buddy DeFranco and is on the faculty of New Hampshire's Phillips Exeter Academy. Forsaking standard material for his first album, the play list is made up of ten Jennison originals all in various tempi and style, but which start getting repetitious along the way as ideas get thin. Some of the better pieces include "To You, From Me" which features Jennison on alto with some exciting drum breaks by Ken Clark. Another piece spotlighting Jennison's alto, which sounds like Phil Woods when Woods is in a mellow mood, is the lovely ballad "Georgie," with "My Anne" rivaling "Georgie" for sheer musical attractiveness. The tenor takes over on "Watch Your Step" with Jennison showing some incredible dexterity with daring fingering technique. There's a nice blues with a funky piano solo by Jim Butka and good bass strumming from John Hunter on "Amanda's Blues." Jennison brings out his soprano on "Rain in My Coffee" which has a light Latin beat with more good piano from Jim Butka. But virtually all tunes on this session take the same course. There's an introduction establishing the basic melody structure, followed by some technically compelling fingering after which there's a return to the melody. No matter how good the instrumentalist is —and Jennison is very good—unless the original material is superior, it's not going to hold one's attention for a whole sitting. And that is the case here. I have heard Jennison on other albums and he handles standard stuff very well. It would have behooved him to have put a couple of those on this CD. This would have strengthened the credibility of the original material."

I appreciate Dave Nathan's willingness to review my flagship release and also recognize his candor in suggesting that the original material I wrote could have been strengthened by including some standard tunes as well. I would like to note that, in more than one instance, I used the framework of a jazz standard as the foundation for a new composition. For example, on the track, "To You, From Me," I employed the chord progression to Cole Porter's "You Do Something To Me." My tune, "Amanda's Blues" is also just a variation of a standard minor blues. With a lifetime of experience playing, I now recognize his observation of "virtually all tunes on this session take the same course," to be spot on. This was, after all, my first (and only) excursion into the realm of recorded jazz, and as a young player, I still had a lot to learn about crafting the presentation of material in a more interesting way. Now that I am getting close to 80 years old, I have decided to create another album of original material with the same players, kind of like a bookend to wrap up a successful career teaching and playing (although not recording). Look for a release sometime in 2026!

The synergy between jbmac live and the iconic bands Boyzlife and D-Ream further underscored the night's success. Not only did jbmac live support these legends with commendable finesse, but their unique flair also complemented the classic hits that had everyone reminiscing and celebrating in unison. It was a musical mosaic that painted the evening with strokes of nostalgia and contemporary verve."

"Soirée inoubliable !! Cinzia et Frédéric, qui nous ont accompagnés dans cette aventure, ont su créer les bonnes ambiances aux bons moments, permettant à toutes les générations de danser, chanter, rire et connecter. Leur répertoire est très large et ils sont très à l'écoute de tous. Par ailleurs, tout l'aspect logistique s'est très bien passé. Je recommande vivement ce duo de charme !!"
