Photo of MiSax MiSax "Your performance was just what we hoped for, backed by real talent and warmth. Your music brought effortless, beautiful precision to our reception. Never overdone, always just right. Thanks a million MiSax!" Based in Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region 22nd September 2026 Tanya Wilson - Private wedding Photo of Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis 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." Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region 18th September 2026 JazzHot magazine, France. - Public gig in Paris at Tenessee Bar Photo of The Velvet Keys The Velvet Keys "I wholeheartedly recommend Ciarri for any corporate event, private function or venue seeking sophistication and class, with some sultriness. I have worked with Ciarri on many events and her artistry consistently elevated each occasion, leaving lasting impressions on our guests. Her performances—whether on the iconic rooftop of Hotel Raphaël or the exclusive Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine with panoramic Eiffel Tower views—were warm, unforgettable and stylish at every setting. Ciarri's professionalism, reliability and meticulous attention to detail made her a valued partner and why I worked with her time and time again. Any organization would be fortunate to collaborate with such a dedicated, versatile, and inspiring performer." Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Rachel Humphries - Marketing Business CIRIUM - Event type - corporate events Photo of Palace Duo Rock Palace Duo Rock "Palace participated for the second time in the Greoux-les-Bains night events. They fired up the audience present. Bravo!" Translated from French Based in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region Office de tourisme et des congrès du pays de Manosque Photo of Spirit Jordache Singer Spirit Jordache Singer "Hired to sing one time in our restaurant, now it is a monthly event and it gets better and better. From soulful music to romantic music to dance music, he can do it all. His passion is felt by everyone in the audience. Can’t get enough of Spirit and his spirit. Incredible singer" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Christina Tomasello - Saveurs et Mélodies @ L’Arbre à Pâte Photo of MotorBop - Jon Crocco MotorBop - Jon Crocco "I just listened to your recording, bravo to you and the other musicians! It's very pleasant to listen to and not as dark as that, compared to Chet Baker's Almost Blue, one of the rare pieces of music I really know from him along with My Funny Valentine. It mainly made me dive back into the atmosphere of a very good film noir by Louis Malle from the late 1950s in Paris "Ascenseur pour l'échaffaud", the soundtrack is by Miles Davis" Translated from French Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Anonyme
