Eternal Triangle
"I met Trevor Watts and his Eternal Triangle band for the first time in 2022 at Cafè Oto in London.
It was a fantastic concert, I really enjoyed everything from the band. The percussionist Jamie Harris provided a strong and vigorous accompaniment with his bongos and cymbals, keyboardist Veryan Weston added his immaginific sounds to the ensemble and Trevor Watts stood out for his inventiveness, freshness of phrasing and audience involvement.
It was a joy to meet the band members after the show and remain in contact with them over time. We were able to put together a first Italian tour in February 2025 and we're looking forward for new shared adventures.
The great musicality of this projects makes it enjoyable from any kind of audience, from people not familiar with creative music to fine jazz connaisseurs.
Trevor Watts is undoubtedly one of the main protagonist of European jazz and the work he has done with this band is simply amazing and worth to be discovered.
Very recommended (especially when they are on tour!)"
Emmanuel Ayodeji
"We had the pleasure of having Emmanuel perform at our recent event, and it was nothing short of fantastic! His talent and energy brought an incredible atmosphere, making the event truly memorable. The music was beautifully played, adding a touch of elegance and excitement to the celebration. My dad absolutely loved it, and all our guests enjoyed the performance.
Highly recommend Emmanuel for any event—professional, engaging, and a true musical talent. Thank you for making the night special!"
Sergio Drums
"Sergio was a big part of the Gravey live setup for a few years. Always super solid, easy to work with, and brought a proper spark to every show. Whether it was a packed venue or a mid-week dive bar, he gave it everything. Total pro without ever taking himself too seriously."
Sebastian Fernandez Drums
"I want to take a moment to highlight Sebastian, our dep drummer. Having worked with him closely, I can confidently say he is always well-prepared and rehearsed with the songs. His reliability and professionalism are truly commendable, as he consistently brings a strong understanding of the music to every performance.
His dedication and readiness make a significant difference to our band, and I truly appreciate his hard work and commitment. I wholeheartedly support him and look forward to making more music together !"
