I hired Daniele and his jazz trio for our wedding reception, and wow, they truly brought the magic! From the first note, they set the perfect tone—elegant, warm, and so engaging. It was clear they’re seasoned pros who know how to read a room. Every guest commented on how incredible the music was, and many told us it was one of their favorite parts of the evening! They played a mix of jazz standards and some unique tunes that had people tapping their feet and even dancing by the end of the night. If you want a classy, memorable experience, Daniele’s trio is absolutely the way to go!

We hired Daniele and his pianist for an intimate cocktail party, and they were phenomenal! They created such a cozy, sophisticated atmosphere that felt perfect for the setting. They blended some well-known jazz standards with a few modern, unexpected pieces that really kept the energy fresh. The musicianship was top-notch, and you could feel the chemistry between them—it was clear they’re passionate about what they do. Every guest was raving about the music all night long, and a few even asked for their contact info for their own events! If you’re looking for musicians who bring both talent and the perfect vibe, Daniele’s duo is it. Highly recommend!
