Lana-May & her Hot Jazz Band are a dazzling musical troupe who encapsulate the vibrancy and opulence of the Golden Age.
One of the most charismatic and multi-talented front women in hot jazz, Lana-May is a fantastic musician, vocalist, and bandleader. Her unique and passionate approach to the music of New Orleans greats has already gained her an incredible reputation as one of the most exciting emerging clarinet players in UK jazz, as well as multiple sold out shows in London’s West End and an endorsement by historic and legendary clarinet brand, Leblanc.
With a wide and diverse pool of inspiration and repertoire, expect to hear old classics as well as discover new favourites - so grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be transported back to the underground speakeasy bars of prohibition era Chicago.
