Vodja
"Absolutely fabulous, hugely entertaining and lovely music for a wedding, with a great variety of music keeping things going with a swing. The guests loved it and applauded at the end of each song. Highly recommend as not only fantastic artists but such nice guys too."
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!"
Mr.Sinatra & Friends
"Thank you so much for playing during the cocktail of our wedding, you guys are the real deal!"
Pia Tedesco Vintage Jazz & Cinematic Swing
"Pía is an authentic whirlwind on stage. Apart from her vocal excellence and the instrumental excellence of the musicians accompanying her, as well as the well-chosen repertoire, she has the ability to connect with the audience from the very beginning of her performance, and provoke the most varied emotions.
A powerful presence, a tremendous capacity as an actress and her great professionalism make having her be a sure success at your event, in any of the formats she offers."
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."
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."
