A great choice
For a grand dinner with "Great Gatsby" theme we were looking for a suitable musical setting. We found that at the Jazz Centrale . After clear consultation and advice, we decided to book singer Mylene and five musicians. A great choice! Mylene and her group have a limitless range of songs, sense the mood and occasions well, and can handle anything. From ambient music to creating a party, in this case a "Great Gatsby party", they are up for it. Mylene and the accompanying artists are all top-notch musicians and easily adjust to the situations. Great for hosts and hostesses because they take care of everything themselves. A superb, enjoyable and exceptional musical backdrop for all guests. The Jazz Central can do much more, anything is possible, looking forward to the next party!
