Jazz Bands Monaco—Jazz Central Agency
"An exceptional musical experience from beginning to end. The musicians blended seamlessly into our event while delivering an outstanding performance that impressed every single guest. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a luxurious atmosphere."
Uke Swing
"With their swing they brought joy to everyone. With their elegance and delicacy they added magic to our May evening. A passionate and special group. A group of singing hearts and playing hearts. In short, I recommend them with all my heart. Donia"
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!"
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"
Chill and Chic by Nalìs
"Annalisa, Michele and Roberto were our trio for one of the most magical nights we could've hoped for. They are incredibly talented, and it was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Italy. WOW!! Thank you for making our night feel like a dream. They were fun, professional, kind and the pure JOY was very evident as they each shared their God-given gifts. <3 Thank you for a moment we'll never forget."
Tea For Three Swing Band
