Reviews of 1940s Era Musicians & Bands available in Amiens

5/5 from 801 reviews
Photo of Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis "A trio evoking the famous albums of 1956 et 1957: Ella & Louis, Ella & Louis Again), the trio is completed by César (in the role of Oscar Peterson). In a cellar bar in Paris 6th called the Tennessee, on a tiny stage but surrounded by a massive public already conquered by the group and the atmosphere they create - It feels like we are at a friends reunion. The first set is consecrated to the recreation of the mythical duo: («Can’t We Be Friends?», «Isn’t a Lovely Day?», «They Can’t Take That Away From Me») But through the filter of Paddy et Ellen. We are in homage and never in imitation (except for the odd humoristic wink to the original). They especially bring to life a music the gives great joy and pleasure The trio is perfect in total complicity Paddy as always full of colour and vigour. Ellen – better known for her soul repertoire – reveals herself to be an excellent jazz singer absolutely in Ella’s register. César, very serious behind them plays beautiful harmonies. A wonderfully entertaining evening." Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region (72 miles from Amiens) 18th September 2026 JazzHot magazine, France. - Public gig in Paris at Tenessee Bar Photo of The Velvet Keys The Velvet Keys "I wholeheartedly recommend Ciarri for any corporate event, private function or venue seeking sophistication and class, with some sultriness. I have worked with Ciarri on many events and her artistry consistently elevated each occasion, leaving lasting impressions on our guests. Her performances—whether on the iconic rooftop of Hotel Raphaël or the exclusive Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine with panoramic Eiffel Tower views—were warm, unforgettable and stylish at every setting. Ciarri's professionalism, reliability and meticulous attention to detail made her a valued partner and why I worked with her time and time again. Any organization would be fortunate to collaborate with such a dedicated, versatile, and inspiring performer." Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region (72 miles from Amiens) Rachel Humphries - Marketing Business CIRIUM - Event type - corporate events 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 (72 miles from Amiens) Anonyme Photo of Fête Laweit 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."

Your support really is appreciated. You guys were absolutely amazing. A lot of people were talking about you all day. We will certainly be looking out for your future gigs.

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."
