Reviews of 1950s Era Musicians & Bands available in Nantes

5/5 from 747 reviews
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 (213 miles from Nantes) 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."
