Review Centre: Musical Acts

"Für unsere Hochzeit in St. Gallen engagierten wir diesen Pianisten und sind sehr dankbar für seine Leistung. Er war professionell, freundlich und sehr zuverlässig. Die Musik während der Zeremonie war wunderschön und emotional, perfekt abgestimmt auf den Moment. Beim Empfang setzte er die musikalische Begleitung mit einem vielfältigen Repertoire fort, das alle Gäste begeisterte. Viele lobten seine Performance als Highlight der Feier. Seine Sensibilität, Technik und Eleganz machen ihn zu einem Pianisten, den wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen."

"Everything was perfectly arranged Everything was perfectly arranged! What appealed most to us was how quickly everything could be organized and scheduled. The saxophonist was a huge added value to the whole event. We’re already looking for an excuse for our next party! "

"I have the distinct privilege of being in the same church choir where C J is a member. He and Betty (whom we all love too!) are fairly new members of our church, and I knew immediately he was gifted by God. He adds his special touch to our church and especially our choir with his personality and talents. Thanks for sharing with us what God has gifted you with!!!"

"Hi, to whom it may concern, Brian Reynolds is a very talented musician, he lent a lovely atmosphere to my 70th party, but he is not just a talented musician, he is a very nice guy, and very friendly. The night could not have went better. It was pleasure to meet Brian, thank you Brian for taking on the gig. Paddy Hayes."

"We were so lucky to have Julian perform at our wedding. We decided quite last minute to have a guitarist perform at our destination wedding in Girona, Spain and it was one of the best decisions we made. Both we and our guests loved Julian’s performance. He is very talented, responsive, and professional. He took the time to understand the atmosphere we wanted and put together the perfect selection of songs for the evening. His music created such a beautiful ambiance and made our day even more special. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!"

"I highly recommend JBMAC for any party, wedding or event!! They are so kind, incredibly fun and most importantly you can tell that they are passionate about what they do! From leading up to the event, setting up and throughout the night they did such a great job. My guests also absolutely loved them and have not stopped talking about how amazing they were. Considering this particular group we had were not big party people, JBMAC did so well getting everyone onto the dance floor. Thank you JBMAC, I will 100% be booking you again for more of my future events! Xx"

"Daf made his first appearance at the Joiners Arms in Malltraeth and provided a great evening of entertainment, including his Welsh songs and a few that the locals know well! Everyone was happy and we hope to have him back in the future."

" Ostrich Hat played my wedding last weekend and my guests could not stop talking about how great they were! Everyone was up and dancing the whole time and didn't want the night to end, my guests were even chanting for an encore song. Jeff was very communicative and answered all our questions in a timely manner. I can't recommend these guys enough! ​"

"Here's more clear evidence courtesy of Italian-born saxophonist Mirko Fait's quintet that tasteful jazz doesn't run its course at America's borders. These are accomplished musicians who know how to swing and can hold their heads high in any company, foreign or domestic. On the other hand, there is nothing here that sets Fait's group apart from many others of its size and makeup; it is simply a well-schooled working ensemble doing its thing, no more and no less. Fait, who plays soprano and tenor sax, is joined on the front line by flugel Roberto Piermartire, who, like Fait, is an accomplished musician whose solos are invariably polished if not otherwise exceptional. Pianist Antonio Zambrini is another strong soloist, while bassist Rodrigo Amaral amplifies the group's persona by adding his husky baritone on four selections. The quintet's other member, drummer Roby Giannella, is a solid timekeeper who tends to his duties without stepping on anyone's toes. Guitarist Giampiero Spina adds a pastel solo voice on "Sad Eyes Child," "B Mine" and "Funny Day." The program is composed primarily (eight of ten tracks) of compositions by Fait, and they are melodic and charming if less than memorable. Several are in a Latin mode including Amaral's vocals on "Quanno Chiove," "Rebecca Smile," "Nada Mais" and "Aquarela." While the quintet is pictured on the inside jacket performing at the Sant' Elpidio Jazz Festival, Confidences was recorded in a studio, most likely at Fait's home base, Milan. Other particulars are elusive, as the liner notes are in Italian. What is most germane, of course, is whether Fait's quintet is proficient and worth hearing, and the answer to that is yes. The songs, all originals, are for the most part bright and charming, and the quintet plays them well. Although there is nothing here that blazons superiority, neither is there anything that is less than well-managed. Track Listing: Lastlove; Sad Eyes’ Child; Quanno Chiove; Never Alone Melita; Rebecca Smile; All I Missed; B Mine; Nada Mais; Funny Day; Aquarela. Personnel: Mirko Fait: soprano, tenor saxophone; Roberto Piermartire: flugelhorn; Antonio Zambrini: piano; Giampiero Spina: guitar (2, 7, 9); Rodrigo Amaral: electric bass, voice; Roby Giannella: drums. Title: Confidences | Year Released: 2017 | Record Label: Jazz Di Marca"

"We couldn't have chosen a better band for our wedding! From the very first moment, they completely adapted to our needs and made everything so easy. They even added an extra member to the group, which made the result even better. They were always friendly and professional, and they kept the party lively from beginning to end 🎶💃🕺. All the guests were delighted."
