Jazz Bands Monaco—Jazz Central Agency
"An exceptional musical experience from beginning to end. The musicians blended seamlessly into our event while delivering an outstanding performance that impressed every single guest. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a luxurious atmosphere."
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!"
Ferdi Argenti
"What Ferdie can do that nobody else does (to the extent that
he does it) is sing his heart out, and then play his heart out--
his vocal and instrumental expressions are equally strong. It's
not like he's trying to get a gig at the local Holiday Inn lounge,
no!--he belongs in the concert hall!
Larry Coryell (from the liner notes to "Look for the silver lining" album by Ferdinando Argenti"
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."
Swing Groupe de Musique
"Francesco and his band were amazing! It was so magical having them play for our Tuscan wedding celebrations. They created the perfect ambience and played beautifully! We couldn’t be happier and they made our day very special and memorable! Great communication, wonderful performance- we’d highly recommend them for any occasion. Thank you so much!"
Just FM Dixie Band
"We had the absolute pleasure of having FM Dixie perform at our daughter’s wedding in Italy. They were outstanding!
Their music and entertainment was such a highlight for the day for the entire group. This is how they were used throughout the day for our event:
• Greeting the shuttle vans with wedding guests as they all arrived at the Castello
• Escorting the group up from the drop off location across the path and across the drawbridge to the Castello
• Entertaining guests during a brief pause for prosecco until it was time to escort guests to the ceremony location (Castello terrace)
• Following the ceremony, escorting guests from the terrace to the location for the aperitifs/welcome buffet (opposite end of the Castello by the pool)
• Music throughout the aperitifs/welcome buffet for a couple of hours.
• Escorting guests when it was time from the location by the pool up to the Castello courtyard for dinner
FM Dixie were fantastic in the quality of their music and in how well they entertain, adapt and engage with the wedding guests! They exceeded our expectations in all respects.
Thank you to the wonderful FM Dixie quintet that added so much magic to our event!"
