Photo of Gajè Gipsy Swing Gajè Gipsy Swing "Nothing but compliments for this band! They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues. Our day was a whirlwind of activity as we arrived and organised everything for our 3 day event but it was so lovely that our welcome party was exactly what we had imagined thanks to them." Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna (54 miles from Parma) 9th October 2026 Kelly - Welcome party Photo of Amar Corda Amar Corda "Absolutely great band and nice people! They played for the aperitivo of our wedding party. All our guests where talking about them! Will book them again when I have an opportunity." Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna (54 miles from Parma) Jan Steender - Wedding Party Photo of Catch Up Trio Catch Up Trio "Simply fantastic! Splendid musical group. Musicians of high level and professionalism but, at the same time, sociable, able to grasp the atmosphere of the moment and accompany us in moments of fun, a perfect combination. The trio is decidedly oriented towards experimentation and improvisation and yet the result that derives from it never appears awkward or difficult to listen to. Very good, thank you I will definitely contact you again." Translated from Italian Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna (54 miles from Parma) Stefania - Evento privato Photo of Sunny Side Trio Sunny Side Trio "Fantastic! A trio full of energy, smiling, communicative" Translated from Italian Based in Milan, Lombardy (72 miles from Parma) 22nd May 2026 Chiara - Event Photo of Ferdi Argenti 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" Based in Fucecchio, Tuscany (77 miles from Parma) Larry Coryell - Internationally known jazz guitarist Photo of Swing Groupe de Musique 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!"
