Reviews
"Their individual solos on guitar and piano were often breathtaking and I thoroughly recommend their act, which could be performed and appreciated at any Jazz festival. Modern, Contemporary or Traditional." Southern Jazz Adelaide
"They are musicians with the ability to enthral, amuse, entertain and have the audience wondering, what next? while realising they are watching incredible talent." Merimbula Jazz Festival
"They lifted the festival to new heights, add virtuoso performance on the piano with matching capability on guitar, outstanding vocals with panache and you have a stellar act They were undoubtedly the stars of the event." Monbulk Jazz & Blues Festival
"Eccentric, brilliant piano player. Incredible voice and talent on guitar, every performance they gave ended with roars and cheers for more from the crowds." Illawarra Jazz Club News
"Wizard and Oz was a crowd favourite at our festival. Andrew’s piano prowess takes a back seat to no one. David is one of the most versatile singers in the business, amazing! And they come out to play and play and play!! They raised the roof at our main stage a full foot!! Wizard and Oz are true pros who give all they got each time out." St John Jazz & Blues Festival, New Brunswick, Canada
"The Wizard & Oz (Andrew Farrell and David McMillan) from Melbourne provided a feast of popular musical styles, and had the audience captivated by brilliant piano and guitar playing, along with relaxed solo and duo singing. I love David's gravely voice, and the obvious communication and musical feeling between these two. I think we were all blown away by the ultra fast trills and glissandos from Andrew on piano." Hamilton Jazz Society New Zealand
