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."
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."
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!"
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."
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."
