5/5 from 627 reviews
Photo of Hitchen Jazz Group 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!" Based in Nîmes, Occitanie Jean-Vincent Bec - Montpellier Jazz Club Photo of Jazzador Jazzador "Here comes the sun... We wanted to surprise our guests for the vin d'honneur. We met Lutz and were immediately enthusiastic about the talent and professionalism of Jazzador. This part of the wedding took place outside and despite the rain and the cold, the quartet was able to put a wonderful sunshine in the hearts of the young and old by making everyone swing and delighting. A very high quality performance, a kindness and an availability out of the ordinary which made this moment a magic, exceptional and unforgettable moment." Based in Perpignan, Occitanie (108 miles from Nîmes) Vincent - Private wedding Photo of Vodja 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."
