"A standout jazz performance lit up the R&R Forum, with the group dressed sharply and playing with remarkable skill. The atmosphere was warm and engaging, and the audience clearly enjoyed every moment. A fantastic appearance from musicians who know how to make any setting feel special."

"Working with Sty has always been a pleasure - something to look up to. You work with a lot of great talents in the industry but it is very rare that you mean someone who actually pays attention to every single detail and wants to make every show a sensation. Above all, she is a very good friend and a joy to meet for all who have had the pleasure of meeting her. Without second thought, one of the most beautiful voices I have heard in my life, charisma that dazzles and and energy that lights up the room. Even if the stars up in the sky stop shining one day, theres one star from Cyprus that will never stop💫 Are we allowed to give 6 stars??⭐️ **asking for a friend 😅"

"Trio chant guitare et saxophone pour les 40 ans de mon épouse. Suite à notre contact par téléphone, je n’avais pas vraiment de doute sur la qualité de leur prestation. Mais là, franchement, cela a dépassé largement mes attentes. C’était magique! Très pro, talentueux et adorables. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés… c’est mieux pour écouter la qualité de leur prestation 😁"

"Terrific trio, filled the house every night on an MSC Ship. Wonderful front-Woman vocalist who is extremely versatile in her singing style to accomodate a library of music greats. Go see them if you can, you'll love them! PH"

"Both the bride and groom and I were very pleased with your presence and the atmospheric music that you played. The guests also gave us good feedback. It is precisely the subtle, warm sound that is not intrusive but does provide the right atmosphere and swinging note that makes everything at such a reception just right. That is great class."

"Me encanta la música de la Romi, tiene mucha precisión y es perfecta para una graduación. Me encanta el bossa nova y los boleros, siento que hay un poco de Latinoamérica aquí en Roma. Muchas gracias Rome jazz trio por toda la música bonita!! "

"I would like to say thanks to Rory for being with us on our wonderful day. With so many other things to worry about on the day it was reassuring to know that my guests were being looked after when they arrived by the sweet jazz music of Rory. I had several comments saying it was a nice surprise to be greeted by Rory when they arrived. Rory and the team was also very accommodating to myself and my wife as we were running a little late on the day and he stayed behind for a extra hour to make sure that we had a nice arrival when we stepped out of the car. Its my pleasure to give the short testimonial to Rory and the whole team who worked together to make our special day a little bit better. Thanks. Mr and Mrs Nwigwe."

"For our 50th anniversary, we were looking for a stylish, musical jazz band, and this versatile Jazz Quartet more than met our expectations. Communication beforehand was smooth and clear, which immediately provided a sense of reassurance in the lead-up to our event. On the day itself, the band members arrived at the Atomium well in advance, professionally prepared, and well-prepared. Their performance, dressed in their "classy" attire, was atmospheric and musically high-quality, setting the perfect tone for this festive occasion. The music added a touch of class to the evening and was greatly appreciated by all our guests. In short: reliable, professional, and above all, musically excellent. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality live jazz!"

"Rory played the saxophone at our wedding reception while our guests enjoyed canapes in the garden area. All aspects of his performance were extremely professional, the vibe was brilliant, and everyone was thoroughly entertained by his jazz and pop repertoire. Rory walked around the garden area which was fantastic as it enabled everyone sitting in different areas of the garden to enjoy the music. We would recommend Rory to anyone looking for an exemplary saxophonist at their wedding. Well never forget it. Thank you, Andrew and Heather."

"Thanks for your performance on Sunday. The feedback from my friends especially the ones in Paris and New York including myself is that you were a fluent saxophonist and performer. You maintained professionalism, joined as scheduled and added to the birthday ambience and energy. We look forward to future bookings."

"Thank you for the great evening of live music at our wedding anniversary...it was very emotional for us to experience their well selected tunes, and to see that out guests were singing and dancing...They are very professional, attentive, and caring, and they create a wonderful atmosphere. I can just recommend them... Muito obrigada!!"

"I recognise immediately that these serious musicians are challenging the listener and themselves to play outside the box.(...) Music Soup is a good name for this trio of musicians because they embrace a mixed bag of styles and musical concepts that mirror their decade of playing together and their individual personalities... ... Because they have been working together for ten years, Music Soup has a tight, cohesive sound. Their music is well written and produced. On “Your Song” horns join the group. Special guests Dimitris Papadopoulos on trumpet, Dimitri Vassilakis on tenor sax and Antonis Andreou on trombone fatten the sound. However these horns, (nicely arranged by Haris Ziouva) are merely icing on the creative cake that Karlafti and Dimopoulos have baked. Nestor’s bluesy guitar and Evgenia Karlafti’s organ mastery are the fireworks of this production. "
