I have watched many of your productions and as always, they are certainly of an excellent standard and the Eagles tribute last Saturday Feb 13, 2010 at Star City was no exception. The Lyric is a great venue.

I hope you do the Beatles ‘Dark Years’ show again soon.

More power to you,

I have been coming to your shows now for many years, I think possibly since the first one at the Basement and have always wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed every single one. The Eagles show on Saturday night was no exception and a world class performance in every way. As a big fan of guitar oriented music I have found your playing over the years mesmerizing as well as all the other excellent guitarists you have with you in each show.

I look forward to the next lot of shows you do, whatever they may be. Thank you very much!

Cheers

Contemprée/ Calderazzo Entertainment recently endorsed the Absolute cream of Sydney’s talent with an avenue to pay homage to the worlds first and greatest ever band THE BEATLES!

Performing at Sydney’s premier venue the Basement to a packed and extremely diverse crowd, Joseph Calderazzo's ace collective delivered The Best Beatles Experience of recent times. Showcasing a relatively well chosen set, the cream of the crop was mainly taken off the White Album, Abbey Road, Let it be, Sgt. Peppers & Magical Mystery Tour.

The line up addressed as follows, Simon Meli (Sway), Paul Carpenter (Euphonic), Justin Bull, Amanda Easton (Richard Clapton band) Yolanda Thomas (Wendy Mathew’s band) and special guest: Felicity . Performances on the night were individual & varied with each performers influence clearly justified. Joseph Calderazzo’s guitar parts were for the most part interpreted astonishingly close to the original Beatles recordings and delivered with all the sweat and feel their makers had intended. Ripping in parts it was evidence to how exceptionally well Calderazzo has mastered his instrument. Add to this an all-star band featuring: Greg Royal (Juggernaut) Lloyd G. (Lionel Ritchie band) Scott Aplin (Waikiki) Jimmy Roach (Doug Williams band) a bad performance was near impossible.

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for the invite to the Pink Floyd Tribute on Sat. night. What a great concert! This was one of the best, we've ever seen at The Basement - you all captured an energy and excitement that has not been seen for a long while with bands. The lead singers were excellent as were the musicians -and the balance struck between the musicians and singers was superb. But the highlight for us was your guitar playing - you certainly have a great affinity with your instrument.

Thanks again for the great night's entertainment.

Kind regards,

Helen Kennedy

My name is Leslie Moore, Managing Director of The Australian Jazz Agency. On one of my regular outings to The Basement in Sydney I found out to my astonishment that there was going to be a "Pink Floyd Tribute". Although getting a bit tired of tribute shows I hung around to see and hear what it was all about. The only person I knew in the band was Joseph Calderazzo who also works with my dear friend Jeff Duff in his "Bowie Show" which is also pretty amazing. Being past 50 and a 1970's pop tragic, Pink Floyd is on very high rotation on my stereo system at home. Pink Floyd's music is hypnotic, calming and inspiring at the same time. So knowing just about every tune back to front I positioned myself somewhere at The Basement so I could just get a glimpse of what was going on on stage and what happened just blew me away completely. A sound engulfed the venue with the most incredible likeness of Pink Floyd which pleased me instantly and majorly. Listening to a tribute band is one thing but when it doesn't sound like the "real thing" it becomes painful and irritating but these guys and the very spunky backing vocalists I may add, managed to create the perfect sound. Especially "The Great Gig In The Sky" with one of the backing vocalists doing a better job than the original. Joseph's guitar solos matched David Gilmore note for note. Also being a jazz tragic I'm used to hearing applause after solos but not in pop until that evening when Joseph had them clapping after every solo. As a matter of fact Pink Floyd themselves couldn't have done a better job. The crowd which was quite substantial, (the joint was packed) went wild including myself. I found myself at the end of the gig at the same spot and realised I hadn't moved. This was ONE HELL OF A BAND complete with sexy roaring tenor saxophone solos it was the total package. I left after the gig to get home, put on Pink Floyd and see how I could criticise the guys I heard earlier only to come to the conclusion that it was as good as the real thing. Now I can't wait to see them again and again and again replacing the very high rotation on my stereo with The Basement or other live venue where I may catch them.

Good luck to the people involved with their enormous musicianship which seems to be alive and kicking.
