Reviews of 1930s Era Musicians & Bands available in Paris

5/5 from 575 reviews
Photo of MotorBop - Jon Crocco 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" Translated from French Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Anonyme Photo of Victor Wahlström 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!!!"
