Gabriel Rosati
"This letter will confirm that the Gabriel Rosati Group led by Mr. Gabriel Rosati played at The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka from May 23rd to August 22nd 1997.
Mr. Rosati, the band leader, performed nightly with the trumpet and vocals superbly played Jazz, Latin, Brazilian and Pop music. He was always a true professional, reacted to the comfort of all the Japanese and foreign guests, and was as well received by all.
Many guests returned several times to hear the groups performances.
I have no problem recommending Mr. Rosati to any future employers."
I Contrabbandisti Swing Orchestra
"The band was perfect in all the management of the music in the different locations within the party's venue. they are all very nice and the show is fantastic.

Double Soul
"We honestly couldn't have asked for a better band. From the planning stages, Sam was fantastic to work with—responsive, accommodating, collaborative, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping create exactly the atmosphere we wanted. What impressed us most was their willingness to make our wedding uniquely ours. They learned multiple songs especially for us that weren't even part of their normal repertoire, including our first dance. Hearing them perform it live was one of the most emotional moments of the entire day, and we're not sure we'll ever be able to hear that song again without thinking of their incredible performance. On top of that, they were unbelievably flexible with our venue setup. Rather than simply performing in one place, they generously performed across two separate locations, requiring them to pack down, move, and completely reset all of their equipment just so our vision could come to life seamlessly. They made what could have been a logistical headache look completely effortless. Sam, Flip and Marina's talent and energy were exceptional, creating the perfect soundtrack to our cocktail hour and first dance and leaving such a lasting impression on us and our guests. Thank you for helping us create a memory that we will treasure forever."
