"Client Review:
"One of the most magical parts of our wedding was the music — and we owe that entirely to this incredible jazz ensemble. We were looking for something very specific: not another dance set (we had a DJ for that), but a warm, classy jazz atmosphere for the first part of our celebration — during the ceremony and the cocktail hour. What we received exceeded every expectation."
"From the very first contact, communication was smooth and professional. We requested a jazz trio and asked if it would be possible to add a saxophonist for that extra depth. Not only was it possible — the result was beyond beautiful. The group performed a selection of jazz standards we had personally chosen together in advance. They played them with such elegance, heart, and authenticity, it felt like we were in a Parisian jazz bar or a New York club — not on a seaside terrace in Bodrum!"
"Our guests were blown away. Many of them said they had never expected to hear such genuine, high-quality jazz in Turkey, and certainly not at a wedding. The saxophone added a soulful touch that made the whole set feel intimate and luxurious at once."
"We can't thank this wonderful group enough. Their performance added soul and style to our special day in a way we will never forget. It wasn't just background music — it was an experience."

Sara Longo, jazz singer, jazz band.
"Sara Longo has been recommended from a friend, who is a booking agent in jazz festivals. She has a descrete caracter but what a voice!! Always ready to help, she is stunningly professional in the choice of her musicians and of her repertoire. She ends up making everybody happy, but can also move the crown with those wonderful Napolitan ballads. I want more!!!!"
Matteo Cristofori
"Working with Matteo was an outstanding experience. He is an exceptionally talented musician, with a refined and distinctive musical personality. His performance was expressive and engaging, and he brought a high level of professionalism and preparation to the entire project.
Matteo was reliable, collaborative, and extremely professional throughout. We would be very happy to work with him again and highly recommend him for concerts and musical events."
Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷
"Ken and his trio were excellent. Their playing really helped make the night. Highly recommended!"
Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis
"A trio evoking the famous albums of 1956 et 1957: Ella & Louis, Ella & Louis Again), the trio is completed by César (in the role of Oscar Peterson).
In a cellar bar in Paris 6th called the Tennessee, on a tiny stage but surrounded by a massive public already conquered by the group and the atmosphere they create - It feels like we are at a friends reunion.
The first set is consecrated to the recreation of the mythical duo: («Can’t We Be Friends?», «Isn’t a Lovely Day?», «They Can’t Take That Away From Me»)
But through the filter of Paddy et Ellen. We are in homage and never in imitation (except for the odd humoristic wink to the original).
They especially bring to life a music the gives great joy and pleasure
The trio is perfect in total complicity Paddy as always full of colour and vigour. Ellen – better known for her soul repertoire – reveals herself to be an excellent jazz singer absolutely in Ella’s register.
César, very serious behind them plays beautiful harmonies.
A wonderfully entertaining evening."
Belleville Trio
