Review Centre: Jazz Bands

"'Swing Gitan UK joined the Nottingham Jazz Orchestra on the bill of the Christmas Jazz Fest last weekend. Having seen Swing Gitan a number of times, I have always been massively impressed with the musical and technical ability of all members of the band. Their music would sound at home on the streets or riverbank walkways of Paris, but we were lucky enough for them to join us for a unique lineup of bands. Within just a few bars of their first number, (insert what you played first here, I can't remember, sorry lol), it is clear to all that Elliott Lewis and Wayne Jefferies, who take the positions as guitarists within the band, are masters of their instruments and faithfully re-create the music of Django Reinhardt, but adding their own style to numbers such as Minor Swing, Blue Bossa, and Undecided. Joined by bassist Rob Coates and James Tolhurst completing the lineup, their enthusiasm is infectious and the music always driving. If you ever get the chance to catch these guys doing a set, you will not be disappointed!' "

"We were happy with their great professionalism and punctuality at all times, they were appreciated by all guests, as well as by the staff of the hotel. They were very polite, sincere and cooperative during the festive season, and consequently helped to generate more revenues atbour sky lounge. We were very much satisfied with their performance and look forward to welcoming them back to our hotel in the future."

"What a performance! We are so pleased that we chose your services for our wedding reception. Entourage are by far the best live party band we have seen. They were amazing! From learning our first dance song and singing it beautifully, to performing Mr Brightside twice (it’s one of my favourites), and then allowing Molly to perform ‘Valerie’ with the band, the evening was perfect. We would like to sincerely thank you for all the effort you and the band put into making the wedding reception a memorable event. Your friendliness, professionalism and assistance in working around our busy schedule so that the band sound checked early surpassed our expectation and we will definitely recommend you."

"My Dad loves jazz, so when I saw Dave performing by chance I asked him if he'd be available for his 80th birthday do. My Dad was chuffed to bits - especially when they threw in a couple of his requests on the night too!"

"I just wanted to say thank you for all the great communication and help in making Claudio a part of our Wedding. He went down, as you can imagine, fantastically and really got the party atmosphere started. We couldn't fault him and I think he played everything that people requested of him. It made the day just a little different and all of the our guests have been very complimentary! Outstanding performer that effortlessly swept from table to table playing all the songs we recommended plus many spontaneous requests. A true professional that got a fun, party atmosphere started during our wedding breakfast. Thank you to Claudio and Last minute musicians for enhancing our big day!"
