Photo of Jazz Bands Luxembourg —Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Luxembourg —Jazz Central Agency "The music created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for—elegant, subtle, and never overpowering. From the booking process to the performance itself, everything was handled professionally and exceeded our expectations." Based in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg (64 miles from Nancy) 3rd July 2026 Inez de Wit - Office Event Photo of Vento do Sul/ Tribute to Chet Baker 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." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (171 miles from Nancy) Flora McRitchie - Private dinner 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 (175 miles from Nancy) 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 (175 miles from Nancy) Rachel Humphries - Marketing Business CIRIUM - Event type - corporate events 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." Based in Gent, Flanders, Belgium (197 miles from Nancy) Ballucinant - Swing/dance event Photo of The Happy Feet Orchestra The Happy Feet Orchestra "Good band, nice repertoire and all music is danceable for Lindy Hop/Charleston. Always a fun party when they play. It really gives you happy feet." Based in Pijnacker, South Holland, Netherlands (243 miles from Nancy) Anette Heijn - public dance
