Review Centre: 1930s Era Musicians & Bands

"Kev was fantastic - from the communication beforehand - even arranging guitar for a sing-along at the wedding ceremony. On the day he was punctual and his playing was wonderful. We particularly liked his Gypsy Jazz playing on the balcony as we all enjoyed the reception overlooking the Thames. Thank you Kev!"

"Phenomenal and Professional!  Really enjoyed our time with Jackie Lopez with the Nuance Jazz Trio. Communication was excellent leading up to the event and I enjoyed how they really elevated the ambiance of our event. Guests throughout the hall were in awe of them. I encourage any and all to book with them at their next event! "

"Matt and the Cocktail Hour Jazz Band were great and the perfect fit for our event! The communication from the band was excellent up until the very day of the event. Matt was flexible with timings and was very happy to work around whatever worked best for our event. I would highly recommend booking the Cocktail Hour Jazz Band for any events!"

"I found Baló Sámuel Trió when I was searching for a nice jazz band for my wedding. I instantly contacted them after the first YouTube video I saw - my partner and I loved their music and vibe, and in addition they responded to our request very quickly. Despite the wedding getting postponed due to Covid they were flexible and made sure to accommodate our dates with their availability. A very kind and talented young group. I would definitely work with them again and I highly recommend them for your next event! "

"If Dr. John and Tom Waits leave you wanting more, lend your ear to one-of-a-kind Aussie artist Pugsley Buzzard, who assimilates their piano playing, singing and songwriting style into his own blues-jazz musical distillation. On this, his fourth solo CD since 2007’s Hammer These Tongs, Buzzard delivers an all-original set recorded in New Orleans, Melbourne and the Blue Mountains. The Aussie backing musicians are so hip to Buzzard’s swampy Crescent City-influenced grooves that it’s difficult to tell which tracks were recorded where. Complementing the Big Easy contingent of tenor and baritone saxophonist Jimmie Carpenter, trumpeter Antonio Gambrell, trombonist Craig Klein, double bassist Nathan Lambertson, guitarist John Fohl, drummer Charles Brewer and singer Irene Sage, is an equally talented band of top local players. The opening bars of the lead-in blues mambo instrumental ‘Cigarstore Indian’, on which Buzzard’s commanding piano echoes Professor Longhair, James Booker and Allen Toussaint all rolled into one, promises a bourbon-drenched musical trip to follow. Buzzard doesn’t disappoint, his gravelly Joe Cocker-by-way-of-Coco Robicheaux vocals and pulsating piano serving up a solid mix of New Orleans R&B from the Fats Domino styled ‘Dirty Kings’ and the inventive minor-key rave-up ‘Gumbo Boogie’, to the gris-gris-soaked, Night Tripper hoodoo funk of ‘Po’ Boy’, ‘Fire In The Hole’ and ‘Mischief’. The Dixieland flavoured ‘Sin City Lights’ gives way to ‘Salamanca Blues’ a solo instrumental displaying Buzzard’s mastery of stride piano. Chasin’ Aces is a well-crafted, authentic New Orleans Down Under body of work. Al Hensley Rythmns Magazine "

"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 "

"Stephen is a great teacher, he was very accommodating to my request and helped me with playing and singing a song. Additionally, he was an amazing performer who accompanied me when I performed my song."

"We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!"
