Review Centre: Latin Jazz Bands

"“Wonderful music that everyone can hear without being disturbed. We got in touch with Jazz Centrale and, after consultation and clear explanations, chose a jazz trio. The performance was punctual and exactly as agreed. Given the composition of our guests, this trio was the perfect choice, and we received many compliments. A breath of fresh air after attending many receptions where the music was a disruptive factor (hard to converse, unsuitable repertoire, etc.).”"

"Sublime live music I’m struggling to find an adjective that does justice to the experience David Dominique and his band gave us with their live music. You were the perfect finishing touch that made our day absolutely perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop telling us how blown away they were by the musicians. You’re wonderful – thank you for being part of our story and providing the soundtrack to those very special moments. Long live music!"

"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 had a very pleasant experience at our family private event with the musical group that Vik Momjian put together . We already knew of his utmost professionalism and experience as a Bas’s guitar instructor, therefore entrusting him with his musical group was the natural wise decision and he and his band mates certainly satisfied our family and guests with flying colors!"

"Streettino Jazz Band were absolutely amazing! From the beginning Luca and the other musicians proved kind and helpful. They listened to our ideas and guided the choice of pieces with competence and preparation. Much of jazz is based on improvisation, so having passionate and technically gifted musicians makes the difference. In this, the band was perfect! He also knew how to capture the mood of the various phases of the reception and involve the guests - without ever overdoing it. We were happy and received enthusiastic comments. Even in the difficulties of the day (such as delays and adjustments), the band proved to be very professional, remaining to play even beyond the scheduled time. Absolutely recommended!"
