Reviews of 1940s Era Musicians & Bands available in Dresden

5/5 from 624 reviews
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 (73 miles from Dresden) Ing. Denisa Hanušová - Schrack Technik Corporate Event, Prague 2021 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 (166 miles from Dresden) Dagmara Szlandrowicz - Fundacja BARKA - BARKA Foundation Photo of Jazz Bands Frankfurt—Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Frankfurt—Jazz Central Agency "Great musical accompaniment for a professional networking event.

I instantly contacted them after the first YouTube video I saw - my partner and I loved their music and vibe, and in addition they responded to our request very quickly. Despite the wedding getting postponed due to Covid they were flexible and made sure to accommodate our dates with their availability. A very kind and talented young group. I would definitely work with them again and I highly recommend them for your next event!" Based in Budapest, Hungary (342 miles from Dresden) Eriya - Private Wedding
