 Nicolas MONTIER (F) – tenorsaxophone
Members of the BEST OF SWING Quartet (INT): Nicolas Montier (F) – tenorsaxophone, Thilo Wagner (D) – piano, Jennifer Leitham (USA) – string bass, Vince Bartels (USA) – drums Nicolas Montier is the prototype of the jazz musician of the good old days. He was born in 1955 in Paris and he is carefree, handsome and looks a little lonely, thus he sounds sort of melancholic, creative, virtuoso and very sensitive. There are only a few who handles the sax so fluently like he does. As best French jazz musician he received the award of the Parisien L'Académie du Jazz in 1984 and 1984 and the Mainstream Prize in 1992. He has played together with Clark Terry, Benny Carter, Phil Woods, Johnny Griffin, Butch Miles, Lew Tabackin, Irakli, Daniel Huck, Stan Laferriére and many others. Nicolas is member of the European Saxophone Quartet and French big bands as well.

I must confess you, your band is the best oldtime jazzband, which I've ever heard in my life. You do a real music with heart. Each of you had me deep impressed.
(Dai Kimoto, CH, 2010)
The music the Bohém played in Davos was excellent. Tineke and I found the last evening in Steigenberg the best performance.
(Willem Peul, NL, 2010)
I want to tell you that I appreciated very much your band which is a perfect balance of traditional jazz, entertainment and music from your country with plenty of humour. And this combination by excellent musicians.
(Michel Bastide, F, 2010)
A tight-knit, disciplined, and intensely swinging ensemble. [...] The arrangements by Ittzés are both stylistically true and brilliantly inventive.
(CBMR Digest, Chicago, USA)
Temperament, Komik und Show zogen sich als verträgliche Einheit wie ein roter Faden durch den spektakulären Auftritt.
(Die Union, Deutschland)
Die Ungarn zeigten eine unbändige Spielfreunde, gepaart mit viel Humor und zurückhaltenden Show-Einlagen.
(Harz Kurier, Deutschland)
Mit ihrem temperamentvollen, mitreissenden Ragtime spielte sich die ungarische Bohém Ragtime Jazzband in die Herzen der Zuhörer und hinterliess einen glänzenden Eindruck. [...] Sie sind eine perfekt aufeinander abgestimmte Band, in der jeder sein Instrument virtuos beherrscht. Und das zeigte sich nicht nur imgemeinsamen harmonischen Zusammenspiel, sondern auch in den zahlreichen wunderschönen Soli.
(Kölner Rundschau, Deutschland)
