Black Thursdays Trio
"Amazing Jazz Trio
We had the pleasure of having Black Thursday play at our company party and we couldn't be happier. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ambiance they created with their skill and thoughtful selection of both classics and modern jazz. Our Founder / CEO even asked them to play an additional 3 hours! And I personally enjoyed working with them. They are professional, communicative and easy to work with. Thank you for agreeing to play even longer to make our event more lively and elegant! You were a highlight of our party."

Chris DeRosa Session Drumer
"Chris - I freaking love it. Literally was sitting in a doctor's office and started involuntarily smiling and dancing in my seat during your first drum fill. I think you get what I'm looking for, I'm really happy. I love that you're doing your own thing while also fitting inside and amplifying the groove I'm trying to get at. Many many thanks! You're a terrific drummer!"

Nikola Honcharenko & Altina Destani
"Außergewöhnliche musikalische Qualität und starke Bühnenpräsenz
Die Zusammenarbeit von Mykola Honcharenko und Altina Destani überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Hier treffen zwei Künstler aufeinander, die nicht nur technisch auf sehr hohem Niveau arbeiten, sondern auch ein feines Gespür für Atmosphäre und Publikum mitbringen.
Honcharenko beeindruckt durch seine Vielseitigkeit und musikalische Bandbreite. Seine Arrangements wirken durchdacht, ohne überladen zu sein, und schaffen eine solide Grundlage für die gemeinsamen Auftritte. Dabei gelingt es ihm, unterschiedliche Stilrichtungen – von klassischer Musik bis hin zu modernen Einflüssen – stimmig zu verbinden.
Altina Destani ergänzt dieses Fundament mit einer ausdrucksstarken, klar geführten Stimme. Ihre Interpretation klassischer Arien ist ebenso überzeugend wie ihre Ausflüge in andere Genres. Besonders hervorzuheben ist ihre Fähigkeit, Emotionen präzise zu transportieren, ohne dabei an technischer Kontrolle zu verlieren.
Im Zusammenspiel entsteht eine Dynamik, die beim Publikum unmittelbar ankommt. Die Auftritte wirken authentisch, konzentriert und gleichzeitig lebendig. Man merkt, dass hier nicht einfach ein Programm abgespult wird, sondern echte musikalische Interaktion stattfindet.
Darüber hinaus ist auch der kulturelle Kontext ihrer Zusammenarbeit bemerkenswert. Unterschiedliche musikalische Hintergründe werden nicht nur nebeneinandergestellt, sondern sinnvoll miteinander verknüpft. Das verleiht dem Gesamtprojekt eine zusätzliche inhaltliche Tiefe.
Unterm Strich handelt es sich um ein künstlerisch sehr stimmiges Gesamtbild mit klarer Handschrift und hoher Qualität.
-----------------------------------------
Outstanding musical quality and compelling stage presence
The collaboration between Mykola Honcharenko and Altina Destani stands out as consistently impressive. Both artists demonstrate not only a high level of technical skill but also a strong sense of musical expression and audience engagement.
Honcharenko brings notable versatility to the performance. His arrangements are well-structured and balanced, allowing different musical styles to blend naturally without feeling forced. He creates a solid and flexible foundation that supports the overall artistic direction.
Altina Destani complements this with a powerful and well-controlled voice. Her interpretations of classical pieces are precise and expressive, while her ability to move across genres adds further depth. What is particularly striking is her capacity to convey emotion clearly without compromising technical quality.
Together, they create a dynamic and authentic performance. There is a clear sense of interaction rather than routine execution, which translates into a strong connection with the audience. The performances feel focused, yet vibrant and engaging.
Another notable aspect is the cultural dimension of their collaboration. Different musical traditions are not merely juxtaposed but thoughtfully integrated, resulting in a coherent and meaningful artistic outcome.
Overall, this is a highly convincing and well-rounded artistic partnership with a distinct identity and consistently high quality."
