Fête Laweit
"Thanks to Fête Laweit, we can say about the 1st edition of Ballucinant that it was more than successful!
The group closed the festival , creating a wonderful and enchanting atmosphere. Constant dancing, and constant fun showed that they were the perfect group for the evening."
Jazz Bands Brussels | Jazz Central Agency
"Perfect accompaniment
We were a bit nervous because we hadn’t been able to see you perform before Saturday, but those nerves disappeared quickly. It was the perfect musical backdrop to what was a perfect evening for us. You struck exactly the right tone — not too heavy, not too light. Even the non-jazz lovers among our guests liked it very much. I’d have no problem recommending you to others."
Vento do Sul/ Tribute to Chet Baker
"They sound amazing. We enjoyed our time listening to their beautiful music. They played beautifull Bossa novas from Carlos Jobim."
Jazz Moments
"Jazz Moments set the ideal tone for our reception with their refined and tasteful music. Their ability to play beautifully while remaining in the background made them the perfect choice for our wedding. Truly professional and talented musicians."
