Review Centre: Latin Jazz Bands

"This band builds a bridge between pop, soul and funk from the 70's and 80's on one side, and the world of jazz on the other side. Great musicianship, fantastic arrangements and a very sophisticated sound. Highly recommended for jazz clubs and festivals!"

"I have known Davide for a long time, he is a serious, sensitive and prepared professional as well as being a humble person, an uncommon gift, which allows him to always approach music with respect and curiosity. His ability to explain very complicated concepts in a simple way is surprising. that's also why I recommend it to everyone, from beginners to more experienced musicians."

"Streettino Jazz Band were absolutely amazing! From the beginning Luca and the other musicians proved kind and helpful. They listened to our ideas and guided the choice of pieces with competence and preparation. Much of jazz is based on improvisation, so having passionate and technically gifted musicians makes the difference. In this, the band was perfect! He also knew how to capture the mood of the various phases of the reception and involve the guests - without ever overdoing it. We were happy and received enthusiastic comments. Even in the difficulties of the day (such as delays and adjustments), the band proved to be very professional, remaining to play even beyond the scheduled time. Absolutely recommended!"

"I LOVED the Kind of Blur Christmas gig. All the arrangements were so clever, reinventing familiar songs in a whole new way... it was delightful. Each of the instrumentalists were excellent, and I really loved the singer/piano player, whose interpretations of the arrangements fitted the vibe perfectly. It was laid back, fun, entertaining, quality music-making. Well done Kind of Blur!"

"One sunny evening on a terrace overlooking the lovely grounds of Hanbury Manor, easy jazz notes flowed melodiously out of the conservatory - Camino Sonoro were in residence, creating an ambience which added so much warmth to the good company of friends with whom we celebrated our wedding anniversary. Our guests and family were charmed by Hetty's commanding vocals, Miguel's languid guitar and Ronan's mellow saxophone. 'Girl from Ipanema' brought smiles to many faces, 'My baby just cares for me' was delivered with casual confidence, and later on, many of us delighted in recognising Hetty's lovely rendition of 'I wanna be like you' - from The Jungle Book! It was a very special evening for us, and my family and I are thrilled that Camino Sonoro captured the mood perfectly with their unique style of swing and Latin jazz. The trio are truly relaxed, adaptable and versatile. I have no hesitation in commending Camino Sonoro to anyone seeking the perfect musical complement to their special occasion."

"I met Davide as a musician, but quickly I realized that he is also skillful as an: Photographer, Teacher, event organizer (e.g. Spaghetti Jam), singer, and Italian Hobby Chef. All these skills he performs on a work level and because of this, I think that the label 'Jack of all trades' fits him very well. In general, I would describe Davide´s character as humble, humorous, modest, and above all; precise, patient, and discreet. As a music teacher, I would highly recommend him If you are looking for a sensitive, patient, and steadfast teacher. His natural tendency for simplicity gives a safe and calming effect during your learning process and also boosts and maintains your confidence. He is also very respectful and reliable. When Davide was a student himself, he received various teaching styles from his family, teachers, and colleagues and gained knowledge of several instruments and genres. I think that he is able to incorporate all of this knowledge in his teachings and therefore easily can adjust to your level and to your needs. He highly cares for the needs of all his students, this is also what I appreciate the most in him. I can see that he puts effort and care into the growth and development of a student. He seems sincerely proud and enthusiastic during the learning process is available to answer questions at any given moment of the week, and is flexible to change the agreed time and place of the lesson. Davide clearly shows love for his profession and you will not regret taking classes (online/offline) with him. As a musician, Davide is skillful in playing various instruments (e.g. tenor saxophone, drums, piano) and singing. I saw him playing during a wedding in Italy and later during some jam sessions in the Netherlands. While playing on his tenor saxophone, Davide's sound is sexy and resonant and directly grabbed my attention. His strong sound is in a well-balanced combination with his humble side. On the other hand, on the drums, I saw a more attentive and playful side of this musician. For other musicians, he then is a great and respected backup, and for the audience? His enthusiasm and fun is catching! Behind the piano, he is able to bring you back to his roots where I mostly saw him turning into a musician that passionately plays Italian songs and sings Italian lyrics. But he is also able to play in a sensitive and sometimes even beautiful melancholic way. Lastly, as an Italian Hobby Chef, you will again meet his tendency for simplicity. David tries to cook with just a few quality products but with a lot of care, love, and patience. His cooking style is focused on honoring and respecting the traditional Italian kitchen in the most precise way possible. To value and respects the recipes just how they initially are, the beauty of simplicity. However, he is always flexible and willing to adjust the dish if necessary (e.g. vegetarian, vegan, allergy). Because what he values and respects the most, is the one that is eating his dish! And the best part is always the last: he combines his Italian cooking skills with his musical talent during his events such as 'Spaghetti Jamsession'!!! If you are still doubting to book him for one of his skills, you can always check out his website, insta, Facebook or youtube channel. But the quickest and most simple way (I think) would be to approach him and meet up (with maybe a good cup of coffee ? )."
