Photo of Mr.Sinatra & Friends Mr.Sinatra & Friends "Thank you so much for playing during the cocktail of our wedding, you guys are the real deal!" Based in Barcelona, Catalonia 6th October 2026 Katie and Paul - Wedding Barcelona Photo of Pia Tedesco Vintage Jazz & Cinematic Swing Pia Tedesco Vintage Jazz & Cinematic Swing "Pía is an authentic whirlwind on stage. Apart from her vocal excellence and the instrumental excellence of the musicians accompanying her, as well as the well-chosen repertoire, she has the ability to connect with the audience from the very beginning of her performance, and provoke the most varied emotions. A powerful presence, a tremendous capacity as an actress and her great professionalism make having her be a sure success at your event, in any of the formats she offers." Translated from Spanish Based in Madrid 20th March 2026 José María Díaz - Grupo Nuevos Aires (Almería). Programación cultural, festival musical. Photo of Jumble Sounds Jumble Sounds "Super nice band!!! We hired the full 5-piece and it was the best decision! Between the double bass, guitar, drums, and trumpet (along with Nadya's awesome voice) we had the best time. The band was dressed super nicely, and they were really nice to work with. They even brought their own sound system which made it so much easier! Would definitely recommend for any corporate/private event or wedding ! 10/10" Based in Barcelona, Catalonia Yamane El Hage - Wedding Photo of Teddy Sax Teddy Sax "Thank you Ted!

Definitely recommend" Based in Adeje, Canary Islands Julian Vasquez - Birthday party Photo of Gypsy Jazz Guitarist Gypsy Jazz Guitarist "Filippo was relaxed, gracious, fun, and above all, sounded great.
