Gajè Gipsy Swing
"Nothing but compliments for this band! They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues. Our day was a whirlwind of activity as we arrived and organised everything for our 3 day event but it was so lovely that our welcome party was exactly what we had imagined thanks to them."
Amar Corda
"Absolutely great band and nice people! They played for the aperitivo of our wedding party. All our guests where talking about them! Will book them again when I have an opportunity."
Catch Up Trio
"Simply fantastic! Splendid musical group. Musicians of high level and professionalism but, at the same time, sociable, able to grasp the atmosphere of the moment and accompany us in moments of fun, a perfect combination. The trio is decidedly oriented towards experimentation and improvisation and yet the result that derives from it never appears awkward or difficult to listen to. Very good, thank you I will definitely contact you again."
Chill and Chic by Nalìs
"Annalisa, Michele and Roberto were our trio for one of the most magical nights we could've hoped for. They are incredibly talented, and it was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Italy. WOW!! Thank you for making our night feel like a dream. They were fun, professional, kind and the pure JOY was very evident as they each shared their God-given gifts. <3 Thank you for a moment we'll never forget."
Denise Giardino
"Review for Denise Giardino.
I have had the pleasure, for some years now, of knowing the singer Denise Giardino. From the first time I had the opportunity to listen to her live, I was very impressed by her voice and interpretive ability. I had listened to many artists, also in the USA, on various occasions, but Denise's artistic interpretation struck me very much for being unique and very particular. Having listened to "covers" the first time, but also later having been able to listen to unreleased songs, Denise's interpretive particularity combines artistically with a warm vocal timbre, whose vibration directly recalls great interpreters of American soul, jazz and blues music. Always accompanied by great masters with guitar, saxophone, keyboards and other instruments, her vocalizations penetrate the listener's soul with unique and singular artistic intensity, I repeat, worthy of the greatest interpreters that the history of jazz music can remember. Geographically perhaps not in the best place to bring out and appreciate her innate artistic qualities, Denise Giardino, if she had been born in the USA, would certainly already be known and would have had an "artistic" echo certainly of greater importance, as she certainly deserves. On the occasion of her much appreciated musical performances in Florence for international celebrations with the Lakota Sioux nation and in the presence of American actor Mr Moses Brings Plenty, (recently appeared in various Paramount Pictures series such as Yellowstone and LawMan), Mr. "Mo" could not help but express his fervent appreciation for Denise Giardino's musical performances, defining her worthy of the most important artistic events in Hollywood.
Without doubt Denise Giardino is a singer of considerable musical-interpretive depth, capable of making the hearts and souls of the audience vibrate who will have the privilege of listening to her. Of significant depth are the Italian songs written and performed by her, poems of the soul, to make hearts vibrate.
With sincere respect
Prof. Dr. Alessandro Martire
Representative in Italy of the Lakota Sioux Nation- Rosebud"
