Having had a great success to have Jazz at best to play for us in Mandarin Bar, at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park hotel in Knightsbridge, every single moment was a true highlight. During that period (from November 2025 to February 2026) the band really brought up the atmosphere in the bar, they are all friendly, punctual and well-mannered, indeed true professional. What's more, most of the team member even played in the same venue over 15 years ago, they are not only performing at the place, but they are also performing for the family, it was a great re-union, with their soul, brings joy, fun , emotions and atmosphere to us, they are truly beyond professional!

The Jazz world trio has been very active through the last year doing plenty of live streaming shows during lockdown. They are all wonderful musicians but most important they creating a beautiful atmosphere together, in a nice hall playing deep music but also at parties where they can entertain with back ground music and also make people dance. I recommend them strongly as they can play as an instrumental group but also as a quartet including a singer.
