Photo of Gentle Jazz Trio Gentle Jazz Trio "On behalf of the Barka Foundation, I would like to convey that we are very impressed by the sensitivity and talent of the members of the Trio: the band accompanied the Foundation for the ❤️ second time in another important event for us. This time it was a summary of a series of meetings within the School of Social Animation, our shoulder university. Beautiful music, not accidentally selected songs and memorable arrangements of all of us delighted. thank you Gentle Jazz Trio" Translated from Polish Based in Poznań, Greater Poland, Poland (148 miles from Berlin) Dagmara Szlandrowicz - Fundacja BARKA - BARKA Foundation Photo of The Boogiemen The Boogiemen "We loved the band and our guests were very impressed by the music. I can definitely recommend them to anyone looking for music for their next party." Translated from German Based in Hamburg (159 miles from Berlin) Verena Herbst - Privat Party Photo of Hot Wings Hot Wings "We came across the band Hot Wings quite by accident and we are incredibly happy about it. We couldn't have chosen a better musical accompaniment to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Schrack Technik. At an event for hundreds of people there was dancing, guests were having fun and the dance floor was empty at most during the breaks. The chosen repertoire was excellent, with both younger and older ages coming into their own, and the band was one of the first things guests praised after the celebration. The communication before the event was also great, quick, everything was fine-tuned at the joint meeting in the space, and there was not a single problem on the day of the celebration. Thank you for the amazing music at our party, it was a great experience for everyone!" Based in Prague, Praha, Czech Republic (174 miles from Berlin) Ing. Denisa Hanušová - Schrack Technik Corporate Event, Prague 2021 Photo of Jazz Bands Frankfurt—Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Frankfurt—Jazz Central Agency "Great musical accompaniment for a professional networking event. The balance between background and presence was perfect, and the organization was excellent." Based in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse (263 miles from Berlin) 24th June 2026 Marieke Visser - Corporate Networking Event Photo of Gradalicious Gradalicious "Very good, our guests are happy with the music and the performance. The atmosphere was very fantastic!" Based in Bussum, North Holland, Netherlands (348 miles from Berlin) Yuting Cheng - KTS International Exhibition Consulting UG Photo of Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet "It was truly a great concert in the Koepel in Heiloo: the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet supplemented by two virtuoso musicians: Tim Kliphuis on violin and Mozes Rosenberg on guitar. The band's permanent lead guitarist, John Ligthart, is also a great talent. Daniel Gueli as bassist gives sparkling solid energy to the whole, nothing is too much for him! Ronald Weel is the reliable rhythm guitarist that a band cannot do without and Marcia Bamberg can really sing! What a fine voice and every note is right. She knows what she's doing and the band as a whole brings a nice atmosphere and surprising moments. It was a concert where you don't start thinking about other things for a moment. Perfect!" Based in Obdam, North Holland, Netherlands (357 miles from Berlin) Irene - Concert
