Bertram & Kadi DUO
"Bertram & Kadi truly tied our tranquil cottage wedding together. Their music created exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for - sweet, playful, and effortlessly elegant. We loved working with them beforehand to put together a setlist of our favourite jazz standards, and they even learned a song without sheet music online so we could listen to our special song on our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful duo."
Black Thursdays Trio
"Great performance!
What a fantastic trio! And very nice men. Professional and flexible, highly recommended"
Jazz Bands The Hague | Jazz Central Agency
"The performance on Thursday was great! Our guests thought so too. In short, we're very satisfied, including with the booking process."
Gradalicious
"Very good, our guests are happy with the music and the performance. The atmosphere was very fantastic!"
Bijou Trio
"I was searching for a jazz band for a luxury event I planned in Amsterdam and came across Bijou Trio, what an incredible find! Out of all the entertainment companies I contacted, they were the first to respond (within hours!), and their pricing was by far the most competitive.
When the event day came, they exceeded every expectation. Impeccably presented, charming, and professional, these 3 young men brought the atmosphere and true artistry to the event. Their performance was elegant, polished, and musically outstanding.
I later found out they are formally trained musicians with a university background in music and it shows. Highly recommended for anyone looking for world-class jazz with genuine soul and sophistication."
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!"
