wedding violinist in france
"Gérard was amazing, he went above and beyond, he learned a new song in a totally different style and usually played on a fiddle specifically for our wedding. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional, kind, and responsive musician for their event."
Victor Wahlström
"Victor was amazing! Great communication, he learned the song list in a matter of days and was able to even send a demo of the music before the event! We all really enjoyed his performance. He arrived on time and was even able to set up discreetly and surprise my fiancé on the spot with our favorite songs. It was magical. I look forward to booking him again. This was my first time using the website and I decided to book with Victor, and I’d highly recommend to anyone in Paris or France to book him. Thanks Victor you’re a rockstar!!!"
MotorBop - Jon Crocco
"I just listened to your recording, bravo to you and the other musicians! It's very pleasant to listen to and not as dark as that, compared to Chet Baker's Almost Blue, one of the rare pieces of music I really know from him along with My Funny Valentine.
It mainly made me dive back into the atmosphere of a very good film noir by Louis Malle from the late 1950s in Paris "Ascenseur pour l'échaffaud", the soundtrack is by Miles Davis"
Hitchen Jazz Group
"We saw the biggest ensemble that Hitchen Jazz provides - The Hitchen Big Band, at Montpellier Jazz Club in 2015. They played an excellent concert. David presented the concert all evening in French, with a charming English Accent. We have followed the group ever since, and we also love the Hitchen Jazz Trio. Bravissimo!"
Jazzador
"Here comes the sun...
We wanted to surprise our guests for the vin d'honneur.
We met Lutz and were immediately enthusiastic about the talent and professionalism of Jazzador.
This part of the wedding took place outside and despite the rain and the cold, the quartet was able to put a wonderful sunshine in the hearts of the young and old by making everyone swing and delighting.
A very high quality performance, a kindness and an availability out of the ordinary which made this moment a magic, exceptional and unforgettable moment."
La Bonne Melodie
"It was a fantastic evening and you were very very well received by the audience."
