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!"
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."
Jazz Singer Saralee | Jazz Central Agency
"Beyond expectations!
From the very first contact, communication was smooth. Jazz Centrale understood exactly what we envisioned for our party and offered thoughtful input for the evening. The final performance exceeded our expectations! The pianist played wonderfully on our own piano, the drummer and double bassist were perfectly in sync, and SaraLee sang flawlessly."
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."
Dupa Trio - Retro Jazz Band
"we invited Dupa Trio for our annual celebration of the Gememnta Amsterdam,
WOW, what a cool band!
a super unique approach to the boring and run-over-the-mile jazz band, they have so much character and their singer is amazing!
if you can see them play or even book their performance, do it!
such a cool band"
Sofia Michelle
"There hasn’t been a lot of great song options for wedding music. It’s always either lacking or overused. Sofia put together such a great song list for us. We had a video prepared last minute and Sofia chooses the perfect songs to go with it. It was such a beautiful moment for us when they go live. We got so many compliments from guests."
