Tritone

Amuse Manouche
"Well what can we say!?……thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a fantastic set. Despite the down pour (we’re saying it added to the day :) ) your playing and vocals were really special. You blew everyone away!"
French Jazz/ Piaf
"Working in the music industry myself for over 30 years now with many artists, I can honestly say Sam stands out amongst them as being one of the most talented and original.
I believe Sam would be a great choice for any musical endeavors or projects anyone had in mind and could bring a wealth of experience as well as a fresh and original perspective to the creative mixing pot."
Sara Oschlag - jazz singer
"Sara’s trio were so professional & easy to work with. Their music really set a great tone for our event - we had lots of guests commenting on how impressed they were with the band. If you’re looking for a jazz trio, I cannot praise Sara Oschlag Trio enough. Highly recommend booking these guys!"
Flash Mob Jazz
"Great band, great music, perfect for our NYE party"
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."
