Details

One of the most exciting, unique, and outrageously fabulous talents in traditional jazz, Lana-May is a captivating bandleader and multi-instrumentalist. Inspired by the likes of Sidney Bechet, Johnny Dodds, Bessie Smith, Jimmy Noone and Albert Nicholas; prepare to be transported back in time to the gin bars of 1930s New Orleans and Montmartre, as Lana-May and her band perform an eclectic mix of hot jazz, sultry melodies, and filthy blues. With her unique full-bodied sound and passionate playing, coupled with her dazzling vintage aesthetic, Lana-May creates an immersive, authentic cabaret-jazz experience not to be missed After her sold out show in February, Lana-May is beyond excited to be returning to the iconic stage of the West End's Crazy Coqs for the EFG London Jazz Festival, with a new line up and new repertoire, but still as filthy, scandalous, and unpredictable as ever!
