"Lucie was a wonderful piece to our evening and fit perfectly for what we were looking for. We were amazed by her ability to not only play fluently but also captivate and interact with the crowd. Thank you!"

"Let’s face it. Music soothes, heals, excites, entertains and inspires. Legendary Jazz Drummer and Bandleader, Art Blakey even said “(it) washes away the dust of everyday life.” I’ll go with that. That very moment when any artist starts to sing or play, is critical. We all want to be entertained, not just played to. And one more observation, if they look like they’re having fun - I am too. The Jazz Kings performed to a sell-out audience at the Brisbane Jazz Club: they brought their musical goods right through the front door and into our hearts and souls. The key difference is in the delivery. It’s called engagement, the sparkle in their eyes as they share their love of Jazz with everyone in the room. The Jazz Kings' repertoire is wide, impressive and constantly updated. It includes a couple of original pieces, but you can’t quite tell as they are very cleverly cloaked with the fabric of that particular era. What makes their evening different is their cheerful unpredictability. Not every song has each person doing an instrumental. (Which often can be tedious.) Two tunes might even be performed one after another without a formal introduction. Look out for some gentle fun inclusion with the audience – that’s the chance to sing along. It’s an old-fashioned but proven concept that has you laughing – and wondering where the night went. All-in-all, a thoroughly entertaining night. I’d go again. And again!"

"We can’t thank you and your team enough for the most incredible night on Saturday. You were all fabulous. We just so appreciated your professionalism, communication, attire and incredible talent. The music was exactly what we had hoped for and even better that what we listened to on your website. You gave us so much more than what we expected. We have had so many positive compliments from our friends, the only regret being that we only had you playing for 4 hours!! Wish the evening could have been longer."

"Sue and I cannot praise you and your wonderful swing band enough. We have organised many prestigious balls and dinner dances over the years and we have hired some of the finest dance bands in the country but we can truly say that Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra is the best we have ever used. It was absolutely magical, thank you. We are so so overwhelmed with gratitude to you for the evening because you absolutely made it. We would recommend you to anyone in the World; we already have a few people in mind. Comments from the guests included “The best band I have ever heard” and “What a fabulous band!” Not only were the musicians excellent but more importantly they all enjoyed playing which made for a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was a pleasure meeting you Matthew and a privilege to listen to your wonderful band which helped to make the evening very special indeed."

"My partner Jessica Brennan recently had her 70th Birthday Party at the Castello di Septe in Mozzagrogna, and had Good Time Soul Foundation for the music. The band were outstanding and everybody remarked how good they were. Some of the guests were in a nine piece band themselves and could appreciate the quality of their performance. Jessica gave a list of songs that she wanted them to play and they didn’t let her down from Jazz to Soul and Dance everybody had a great time."

"We would like to thank the band Hot Wings for their flawless and entertaining performance at our school's prom, which took place in January 2023. Cooperation with the band was great, communication was fast and arrangements were made without any problems. The graduates and other guests were very satisfied, because the selection of songs for the dance was suitable for both the students and their parents. Once again, thank you very much and we will definitely be happy to cooperate next year."

"Hitchen Jazz Quintet played at our Jazz Festival in July 2021, doing one of their featured shows 'Hommage aux Trompettistes de Legende. They were magnificent, and covered many styles of Jazz from easy listening ballads to fiery Jazz be-bop. David’s presentation of the show was very entertaining, delivered in fluent French. I highly recommend this group. "
