"The band was amazing, party started from the first riffs and did not want to end. A several long music sessions, a great connection with audience and authentic italian music fitted the best way to our event. Strongly suggest to have them:)"

" All Music Review Thom Jurek The title of this set is an apt one. While much of the music presented by the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band, it hearkens back -- in terms of its sophistication, confidence and outright jazz literacy, not nostalgically -- to an era when progressive jazz, and big bands (this one numbering 10 pieces) flourished on the scene. This is one sophisticated outfit. Featuring the arrangement and compositional skills of Brent Wallarab, Jim Martin, Bill Dobbins and Kerry Strayer, this band struts out the tradition and make some joyous, complex, and elegant music that reflects its own unique identity. The résumés of all these players are impressive and reflected in the confidence of the date. It opens with "SUNY-Triangle," a Martin composition that works its artful sleight-of-hand over Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Triste." Martin uses the rhythmically complex samba and drapes some tough, knotty twists and turns over it. The intro is a beautiful and raucous wake-up call, while the head of the tune, with its staggered entrances and exits -- including some fine soloing by John Viavattine on tenor and John Nyerges on piano -- give this tune a unique identity. "Creature Comfort" is a beautiful mid-tempo ballad by Wallarab with edgeless yet multi-dimensional dissonances written into its harmonics. It swings beautifully and includes a fine, punchy solo by tenorman Glenn Cashman. Besides the originals, there are some fine readings here as well. There's Wallarab's arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Black and Tan Fantasy" that's a thoroughly modern exercise losing none of Ellington's humor or rhythmic complexity. Likewise, Gerry Mulligan's haunting, wee-hours, "Night Lights," is given expert treatment here by Strayer, and Dean Keller's baritone saxophone playing combines Mulligan's sense of lyric and Ben Webster's sense of time. In Time's Shadow reveals that innovation need not sacrifice accessibility or swing. It is convincing evidence that the big band form is alive, well and full of surprises."

"Jazz Centrale made our garden party unforgettable! It felt like we were on vacation with all our friends and family, and had stumbled upon a cozy, lit square under the trees at a jazz festival. First instrumental, and later in the evening, SaraLee joined us. An unforgettable evening, and I highly recommend letting these fantastic musicians enhance your experience."

"Last evening attendees to the to the Goods Shed in Tetbury were privileged to a spectacular Swing Jazz performance by this truly spectacular and accomplished group of guys. They are all very talented musicians that literally make their instruments talk. I couldn’t take my eyes off the guitarist playing the Gibson to whom nothing was beyond his skill set. My final observation was the obvious visual enjoyment the whole group derived from their music. A real pleasure to observe. Thank every one of you so much fun an enjoyable evening, hopefully soon to be repeated."

"We had Blue Moon Italian Jazz band for our welcome party, at Castello di Montalto on the 31st May 2024. All I can say is, wow. They were incredible. They really set the tone for the start of our wedding weekend. Not only was their communication brilliant throughout, they were easy-going and stress free as a supplier. The music itself was beautiful and they are extremely talented. I would absolutely recommend booking them for your wedding. Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend so special. "

"I just wanted to write to thank you guys for doing such an incredible job at our event last Saturday; you really blew people away! The fact that people were having such a good time, and up dancing throughout the evening was unusual, and evidence of people really having a good time! I heard *many* comments about how amazing you were, and the Manor as well were very impressed and keen to share your information with others booking events with them. So, yay, well done, and THANK YOU!"

"We’ve used Ottawa Pocket Jazz Band a couple of times now for events, and they’ve been fantastic every time. They are excellent musicians, very professional, and extremely easy to deal with from start to finish. They create a great atmosphere and are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended."
