"Brazilian Jazz Guy" Luciano Antonio: Testimonials

"We wanted the music at our wedding to be beautiful and contemplative. We had heard Luciano play guitar at our son's wedding, and we knew it was just what we wanted, too.  We told Luciano what we had in mind, and he shared his ideas on what would work.  We couldn't have been more pleased.  He even ended up singing on the Processional...it was very moving.  We were thrilled with the music that Luciano provided at our wedding, and our son's wedding, and we recommend him very highly.  I am a professional musician, and I have played for hundreds of weddings, and I felt that the music he provided was just outstanding."

I met Luciano several years ago at a club called rhythm and was impressed by his musicianship and more importantly the way he related to the crowd. So, when my wife and I were planning our wedding and making decisions about the entertainment, there was only one choice in my mind and that was the Brazilian Jazz Guy.
He invited me to his home so that we could talk about song choices and arrangements for our ceremony. With his guitar at hand, he played many arrangements of tunes from his repetoire and I could tell straight away that this would be a special night. Luciano even arranged a piece for me to serenade my wife.
Every song at our wedding was beautifully played from Pachelbel's Canon to Aquarela do Brasil. For our first dance, Luciano and the band played an arrangement of Milonga Triste that was almost other worldly. My wife Gail and I could have danced for hours. Luciano kept things going with the bossa and samba rhythms for the entire night. Thanks by the way for playing Mas que nada and Blue Bossa. Thanks for treating me and Gail like old friends.
If you are looking for a musician to play for any event, look no further.
Luciano is the best!!!

You have no idea how excited I was that you guys were there to play for us on such a special day.  I have loved your music since I heard you guys many years ago. And just so you know, everyone loved the music, even people who had never heard you or any type of Brazilian music.  They were so impressed. Thanks again for making our day extra memorable!!!

Luciano,
As a big fan of your bossa nova and samba band for many years now, we finally had our chance to incorporate a piece of brazil with an important event in our lives. We wanted an intimate wedding ceremony with only our closest family and friends and you helped us achieve this... what's more romantic than a man with a guitar? You've brought your years of experience into the overall process, in helping us select music, coming up with your own ideas as well in helping us to create a very personalized and touching ceremony. The music I walked down the aisle to, made me cry, and those who witnessed as well.

You have a way of making your guitar sing ~ and we're very happy you were a part of our day.

Luciano,
Our wedding celebration wouldn't have been complete without Luciano and his group. We continue to hear their praises from our friends and family who attended this event. Everyone wants to make sure they are invited to our next party in the hopes that we can have Luciano back - the bar has been raised on our gatherings by having the group play for us at our home. Great memories, thanks.

Luciano,
We want to thank you for your amazing performance at our wedding reception! All of our guests were so impressed with your performance, and my husband and I absolutely loved hearing your sweet voice echo throughout the Adler Planetarium! And when you sang "Cheek to Cheek" in English and in Portuguese, it was the most magical moment for my father and I, during the father-daughter dance. He was very surprised, and it really meant a lot to us for you to sing it in Portuguese and with our favorite Brazilian bossa nova beat. You made our wedding so memorable and we are very grateful to you! Muito obregado!
Sincerely,
Rachelle and CJ

Thanks again Luciano,
You were the consumate professional as well as a fantastic artist.
Our wedding ceremony was superbly enhanced by your playing and so many guests commented on how much they enjoyed your music during the cocktails.
Patty and her family especially loved your renditions of Roberto Carlos!
We will be inviting you to play again in the future!
Sincerely,
Bob and Patty

Luciano was wonderful--warm, easy-going and a great musician. His personality and music (Jobim and Beatles) were perfect for the party to celebrate our wedding. We felt like he was one of our group. He played and sang beautifully.

Dear Luciano,
On behalf of the entire membership of the CDS, I would like to express our gratitude to you and your ensemble for a delightful
evening with Brazilian music. Some just listened, some danced, but
clearly everyone enjoyed your music. Congratulations Luciano, you guys
are the best!!

Dear Luciano,
We truly want to thank you for celebrating with us the happiest day of our lives. Thank you greatly for playing our song, 'Sou Voce' during our wedding ceremony. Your performance was beautiful and made us very emotional. We will never forget it!

Brazilian Jazz Guys Trio was hired by Macy's to perform at the Latin-themed Flower Show event. They were such a hit they where asked to perform again at an evening event with many VIPs. The group is entertaining, festive, and fun. In addition, they are very professional and talented.
I highly recommend them!

What a delightful mix of Brazilian Bossa Nova and Samba as well as Latin American Bolero! The rhythmic music and gentle vocals of Luciano Antonio were a highlight of this year's dinner fundraiser.
"High energy, beautiful and amazing!" These are the words that were used to describe the performance of Passistas Samba Dance Group. They not only demonstrated tremendous grace and skill, but were wonderful at involving the attendees of our family event. At one point in the evening just about everyone, young and old, was on the dance floor learning samba dance steps!
