Praise About the RGO Live Shows
- Ghetto, Istanbul, Sahuran Batur, 2009: “High quality funk, amazing stage show and very cool attitude..RGO is definitely an exceptional band. It is impossible not to be impressed by their energy on stage!”
- Jade Yorks, Remco van der Ham en Marije Pluym, 3voor12 on The Hague Jazz ‘09: ““We all know about The Hagues jazz talents, but just in case you missed it; The Rare Groove Orchestra helps reminding you of that fact. What a awesome band this is! Right from the first beats, the audience is hyped by a great mix of funk, soul and rythm&blues. Front man Luca Giordano along with the other band members can’t wipe the grins off their faces. This infects the audience and soon they all start dancing. The crowd grows bigger by the minute and soon the place is filled up completely. Next year on one of the main stages?”
- Stephan Stalenhoef, Fire Fesstival, Hoorn, 2008: “Bij het boeken van een band die je zelf nog nooit live heb gezien, is het van te voren moeilijk in te schatten hoe de avond zal verlopen. Na het horen van hun te gekke album leek het mij de band voor mijn avond. Ik ben in ieder geval blij dat ik het risico heb genomen. Uitgerust met lakschoenen en pakken straalt The rare groove orchestra enorm veel posiviteit uit. De anderhalf uur durende set die ze speelden op het Fire Festival was een fantastische show met gave accenten en super funky muziek. Snel hoop ik The rare groove orchestra weer te kunnen zien spelen. ”
- Pieter van Engelen, Jazz In Duketown Festival, 2006: “Thanks to you guys, Jazz In Duketown was a great success. I heard nothing but praise about The RGO! Thank you so much for a great gig, see you guys next year!”
- Host, The Hague Jazz, 2006: “The big surprise of The Hague Jazz and the future of Dutch jazz. [...] A sound so big, it can compete with the best American bands in this genre.”
- VPRO 3VOOR12, The Hague, 2005: “RGO has set cafe De Zwarte Ruiter on fire during North Sea Heats The Hague!”
- VPRO 3VOOR12, The Hague, 2005: “RGO funkateers play the house down at Stork on Air radio!”
